to add my own two cents on the current wilbur soot situation + people who are ragging on some of the other creators on youtube:
i understand when its adults, and adults who werent being mistreated by him. but people who are ragging on tommy (and saying tubbo and ranboo arent doing enough/speaking out enough or sth) are not really understanding what its like to have someone like that try to get close to you
if you watch wilburs early content with tommy, he is incredibly verbally abusive and constantly screaming at tommy as a "joke". and apparently this continues and even escalates in later content to the point of actual physical abuse (there is audio of him slapping tommy ON STREAM).
tubbo didnt get close to him but given how hes acted about tubbo in roleplay (and his roleplay persona seems less and less like a persona) i dont doubt he wouldve done horrid shit. i dont know ranboos situation but i can still see why itd be scary, especially knowing tommy, tubbo and ranboo are friends.
it is equally terrifying to know someone is physically injuring your friend and you cant do shit about it. i would know, i used to be genuinely scared people i knew were going to die because they were being abused so badly.
wilburs behavior never really made me comfortable. its part of the reason why i fell out of the fandom so fast
i didnt ever really pin down Why i didnt like watching his content w tommyinnit at the time and never really thought abt it after i stopped watching either of them. because ykw, it wasnt something that PINGED as wrong to me.
you wanna know why?
the vast majority of the people who have abused me acted the same fucking way as wilbur. and i am terrified of several of them to this day.
my most recent ex would yell at me and berate me as a "joke". an ex-friend would make fun of me as a "joke". fucking hell my abusive uncle used to scare me in person because he thought it was fucking funny and i dont doubt more physical things happened there that i dont remember.
it is fucking terrifying. it fucks with your head. you start thinking theyre right, youre being stupid and overreacting, and you ESPECIALLY start thinking this when it starts escalating and everyone around you still sees nothing wrong with it.
you start thinking nothings wrong with it and its just normal.
and then when you realize its not, sometimes its too fucking late and youre just stuck.
so yes, its terrible that none of the adults are actually supporting shubble as much as they are farming karma. (save for a select few, but i dont actually know anything about those ones, theyre newcomers to me.)
but for fucks sake, the people who he met as KIDS, who he manipulated into being closer and closer to him, are not "farming brownie points" or "avoiding the topic" and ESPECIALLY not tommy - i think people have forgotten that tommy is still close enough to wilbur location wise that he could genuinely be in danger if he did.
i dunno. it rubs me the wrong way when people think you can just magically come out against your abuser and there will be no consequences whatsoever, especially when you LIVE near them. nope! not how it works!
anyway, support shubble, support everyone else wilburs hurt, fuck wilbur soot, all that jazz. im not even into mcyt anymore, this is JUST from what i know from 2020-2021 and from posts on the situation on tumblr.

Spiraling 2017-2021
These were some of the hardest times of my life. I had gotten chartered out the military in 2017!yes shortly after I got married, my new coworkers were not so nice to me and of course I had a history of not standing up for myself I ended up giving up and letting them chapter me. By then it’s 2020 me and Damian have separated, I’m living with my mom completely devastated, working at Walmart trying to raise my child.
Me and my old friend were not talking anymore and she had made it apparent that she didn’t want me as a friend anymore. I was at the lowest point of my life just watching from the sidelines all the evil things she said about me.
It actually took me a few years to get over Monifah. I was there for her and because I had experienced my own marriage in the military I could understand that she was really sad because of the territory that comes with all that. She was one of my closest friends in which i shared everything with but when I reached a low point she wasn’t there as I was for her.
She used people and things to make me jealous in which I already peeped. All of the ppl she initially turned her back on me and deemed me worthless and lame they did the same to her.
It took me some years to recover and get over her completely, and it feels great over the years I felt it was my fault for us not working but I believe she intentionally did things to get a certain reaction from me. I think that whatever she experienced that traumatized the free spirit she use to be it changed her and took her down a path to where she views ppl as actual pawns.
The girl who I thought was my sister who lied to me about Quad was also involved. She insisted back then that I was jealous of her.
But let’s not ….
How can you be jealous of someone you genuinely admired at the time? You cant. Because that’s not what ur feeling. You’re feeling genuine love and wanting the best for them.
I think it’s the opposite way around. I think that Trenisha was jealous. I believe that when I had sex with somebody she loved that hurt her, I believe that back then whatever she had been going through and seeing me flourish with her friends and ex while she was away going through her own thing made her see me different and I felt that.
I think that she has a side of her that she’s ashamed for others to know about and see it. I knew deep down she didn’t view me as a sister anymore because she changed towards me and didn’t even say anything. It’s because I felt genuine emotional support from her I was able to identify the difference in how she treated me after all that happened.
And I knew eventually she would want to get me back for it. She initially went through with her plans of “getting revenge” and making me feel what she felt when I was at my lowest. I had even reached out and apologized but now that I look back how was I wrong? Especially when I asked her about these things. Mind you most bitches don’t even ask they don’t even care if they fucking on someone you dated..trust me it’s more ruthless bitches out there. Back then she couldn’t give me an answer back then I learned who she really was and if I were nasty spirited behind closed doors like that I would be ashamed for the world to know especially when everyone thinks I’m sweet and kind.
That revenge scheme she had towards me did nothing and it got her nowhere. But again these two. These two both are the same but very different. One doesn’t hide who she is because she doesn’t care especially after the traumatizing things she’s been through. Everyone is temporary and a pawn and must be TESTED to prove themselves worthy to be in her life or to get close. The other one is scary. Avoids confrontation and hard answers. Scared for the world to see what she really thinks and feels because it would make people view her different. The side that everyone gets attached to and loves. She superficial relationships that sway her from her REAL reality. They make her feel good for the time being, somebody like that can’t be held on for too long or tamed and she doesn’t want to.
And until they can keep those demons intact they will fail each time. Karma will revisit and hurt them each time and things will always feel “OFF” like an ongoing loop.
I learned a lot though from those two. Pain changes the most pure and free spirits, and I saw which path I wouldn’t want to go with leading to these moments.
Living in superficiality and delusion or viewing everyone as a pawn in each phase of my life. I choose to walk a different path.

Cliffside Comfort
Tumblr media
Pairing: Hak x Reader
Pronouns: request was female but i didn't even mention pronouns so-
Warnings: spoilers for yona of the dawn i guess? Also kind of angsty but fluffy ending
Description: both you and hak had some arguments which lead to things getting a bit different but things changed when you met Jaeha and he comforts you
Note: you and hak are married also this was requested by someone on wattpadd thank you for the request <3
The pitter patter of rain hitting the ground and the soft sound of wind whistling was the only thing heard outside. Until you heard sheets rustling and you open your eyes to Hak getting dressed, ready to leave
You stretch your hand out to him trying to grasp at the fabric on his back, "Don't go" you mutter
"Honey, I have to" he says with a sigh, looking back at you and tucking a strand of your hair behind your ear
"Please, can't you stay just a little longer? The princess can wait" you say with a pout, knowing you wouldn't see him for a long time after he departs
He looks back at you giving you a small glare but softening his gaze after seeing your face
He crouches down beside the bed and stares at you, interlocking his hand with yours which was hanging off the bed
"You know I have to go honey, no exceptions"
"But-" before you could say anything else he cuts you off
"No buts, now go back to sleep" he says untangling your hands and stroking your face before giving you a small kiss on your forehead and going back to getting dressed.
You try not to show how upset you were and decided to roll onto the other side of the bed and hug haks pillow instead
Unknowingly to you hak gave you one last glance before going out, both of you knowing it was never easy when he had to go back
He always left for so long, not even a small letter every few months
------------
You had heard the news, you had heard of their banishment, you heard about everything that happened and you can't believe Hak hadn't looked for you until now.
And when you heard Hak was in fuuga you were pissed.
"Son Hak where have you BEEN" you say impatiently walking up to him almost stepping on other people clothes and your own
Hak looks back at you and nervously chuckles, "uhm (Y/N)-"
You punch his chest, not lightly may i add, and tightly hug him not letting go even when he tried to move away
"Don't even try you idiot"
"(Y/N)" he quietly mumbles into your hair, hugging you back tightly somehow everything hitting him all at once
Your little moment is interrupted by Yona and the others
"Is this (Y/N)?" You hear a voice say from behind you
You pull away from Hak and look back at the princess
Hak lightly chuckles and puts a hand around you shoulder, looking back at Yona, Kija, Yoon, and Shinah
"Yes"
After meeting all of them for the first time, even though Hak talked to you about Yona sometimes so you already knew quite a bit about her, Hak told you about his plans.
"Im going with you" you say, very confident in your answer
All of them looked back at you as if you were crazy
You hear a cluster of, "are you serious?"and "no its too dangerous" from all of them
"Im going with you and you cant change my mind. Please I can't just leave you alone again" you say directly to Hak and he sighs
He knew he wouldn't get out of this situation, and even though he knows you can protect yourself and fight for yourself he's still scared something could or might happen
Few days later and your packed and ready to start your journey with Hak
It went by smoothly for the most part but sometimes you did want to have some time with Hak but Yona just kept on insisting to be there too
And even though you think Yona is a pretty good person, it can get tiring from time to time to not be able to spend some time with your husband after him leaving for the castle all the time.
You did notice that Hak was getting very protective, not just with you but with Yona as well but never with the others
That wouldn't bother you if it weren't for the fact that everybody that you met at some markets thought Haks spouse was Yona and not you
He was always by her side no matter what and you wanted that too, was that too much? Maybe it's because he's her appointed knight or something but it still felt off
You didn't like getting these types of emotions so you told Hak about it thinking that could be a pretty good idea
It wasn't the best idea you've had
Both of you argued for a bit and after that he went to go be by Yona's side
It left you a bit on edge so the next day when Yona said something that didn't seem like the most nicest thing ever, you snapped
"It isn't that hard (Y/N) if you ill go ask Hak if he can help you"
"No thanks princess, i can do it myself and besides Hak seems to enjoy your company more then mine" and with that you stormed off.
You knew what you said wasn't the best and you were also ticked off. As much as you were still mad you made a mental note to say sorry later when you cooled off.
After that you try to talk to Hak and Yona and maybe clear up things but they both seem distance and you barely get to see them for a few days unless its when you're on the road again, the other two knew something was up but were too scared to ask about anything
As much small talk you try to do they both stay silent, it kind of made you feel embarrassed
Throughout the rest of the trip you keep your head down and just walk along side them all, not speaking a word
None of you did
Not until you got the green dragon that was
Throughout your search for him and going high and low to find him there were some times where you and Hak were alone, but Hak changed topics as soon as possible when you tried to say anything
He was only focused on keeping the gang protected and find the next dragon
You were now alone sitting right by a cliff looking down at the ocean, usually you'd be a little anxious to do something like this but at this point you just wanted some peace and quite
You huff and look up at the sky, sighing heavily you close your eyes.
You were so focused on getting some relaxation you didn't notice the footsteps behind you until someone grabs at your shoulder
You jump and look back at whoever it was, you smile when you notice its only Jaeha
"Jaeha hi, you can sit if you want" you say scooting to the side to give him some space
He sits beside you and tilts his head to one side, "something's troubling you, what is it?"
You were a little surprised he had noticed, maybe you weren't the best of an actor but you thought you were at least okay
He just keeps looking at you waiting for an answer, you defenetly weren't getting out of this one.
You sigh again and look back down at the ocean and ships bobbing up and down with the waves, that's when you decide to talk to him about everything
In the end he gives you suggestions on what you should do and you talked so much with him you didn't even notice how long you guys had talked for
By the end of your conversation you were genuinely smiling again, something you had done in quite a long time
Suddenly you hear a voice behind you, "lets get back to camp we have to leave in the morning"
You look back and you see Hak, he seems off though. You groan and your smile drops a little at the thought of going back to camp and being ignored again
Jaeha notices your behavior and smiles, he gets up and opens his hand for you to take, you grab his hand and try to steady yourself when you get up
When you look back up Hak is no where to be seen and Jaeha just smiles at you his grasp on your hand loosens and his hand drops to be at his waist
"Come on lets get going, ill stay at the camp with you for a while" he says
You both got back to camp and kept on chatting, unknowingly to you there was a certain someone staring at both of you watching how you and Jaeha had such good conversations while he could barely talk to you anymore
And while you hadn't known Jaeha for long, he was like a brother to you at this point, Hak didn't see it that way though
He thought Jaeha liked you, and even though he knew you guys were both married he was scared something could happen
So he made it his duty to get you back into his arms and not Jaehas
The next morning you wake up to a smiling Hak right in front of you, you're so shocked you both bump foreheads
Letting out a small 'ouch' you look back at Hak
"Why are you waking me up so early?"
"I wanted to talk to you"
That made you a little uneasy and on edge but you still decided to let him talk
"Okay, what is it?"
He looks down and fiddles a bit with his clothes before looking back up at you
"Im sorry for fighting with you, i miss you, and I know both of our actions weren't the best. But either way I shouldn't have ignored you and we both shouldn't have acted the way we did. I love you, and I married you for a reason. You are the person I love and no one can change that"
His words made you tear up a little, if it weren't for the tears blurring your face you would have noticed that Hak was tearing up to. There weren't many times where you had seen him this vulnerable.
Even though you felt like crying just a tiny bit you had to compose yourself and apologize too
"Im sorry too and I know my actions weren't the best either. Ill make sure to say sorry to Yona when I see her but for now i want to say sorry to you"
He looks back at you a little surprised, its as if he wasn't expecting you to accept his apology
Hearing your words he felt as if his heart was going to jump out of his chest
After looking at each other for a second you both get big smiles on your face and hug each other as tightly as possible, almost falling back
After hugging for who knows how long you pull away and he looks at you as if asking for permission to kiss you
"We're married, go ahead" you say smiling even more
And without any other words he does kiss you
Letting out a happy sigh you let your husband give you small nudge towards the ground, both of you smiling and giving each other some much needed love that you both missed.

• you rested your head on his lap he starts to smile and play with your head making you fall asleep again.
• you were woken up by sugawaras gentle voice telling you that its time to wake up. You looked around there were more people in the waiting room than before you slept, you looked at sugawara he was smiling at you
• when you got yourself together again you asked suga when its time to get going he said after 10 minutes. You looked in your bag making sure everything is there
• when you closed your bag again you moved around to see sugawara smiling softly while staring at you "your so cute"
• sugawara was talking to the flight attendants asking them if they can change the seats, where they accepted and helped you two get in your shared seats (yes its that easy sometimes)
• God he looks so cute sleeping on your lap like that, his eyes shut with his mouth just open a bit.
• you're playing with his hair, while watching the movie on the mini TV infront of you
• there were a group of girls that sat next to you, and every now and then they would glance at the two of you- actually they were looking at suga
• even one of them wanted to make a conversation with him earlier, but you ignored it all
• although you knew that sugawara koushi, your husband wouldn't hurt your feelings like that
• because the moment he saw the discomfort of your face he immediately tried to end the flirty conversation.
• plus none of the girls were even his type LMAOAOA

JIKOOK: ARE CONGRATULATIONS IN ORDER?
Tumblr media
Disclaimer:
Everything expressed in here is my opinion. It is not intended to be malicious or disrespectful to any of the parties mentioned in here. Please do not hate on or send hate anyone mentioned in her expressly or by inference.
In my previous posts, I pointed out how this past year, from August 2019 to June 2020 has been a rollercoaster ride for Jikook. Their relationship has been all over the place with some even concluding they have broken up for good- you wish!
My inbox has been flooded with questions such as: Are they still broken up, are they good, are they married...
Y'all think I'd be here blogging at 1 AM for Tumblr if Jikook were married married?- Ok, I would. Lol
But No, Sis. Jikook aren't married. Not that I know of. But don't be sad though because THEY ARE BACK! Fully back to function. By that I mean Jimin mostly. Jk never left. Lol- I'll explain in a bit. But yes, I'm happy to report that they are Jikooking again!
I refrained from posting about their new moments especially this July moments because even though they've been back together after a long period of on and off again relationship during ON comeback through to festa season, and then May when JM finally asked for space in their relationship(see previous posts for details)
I've being unsure about Jimin. I've been anxious to know what the outcome of his asking for space to think things through would be.
Jikook have a push and pull relationship dynamic. We been known. Mostly when one steps back from their relationship for whatever reason, the other leans in to pull them back in.
Same thing has been happening from January where Jimin would be pulling one minute, the next he would be like meh and JK would be push to pull him back in.
That was the case in this (June-July) Japan comeback interviews. Jk was front center with expressing interest in JM pulling him whereas JM was like meh, I'm down for this baby but let's keep it professional for the group's sakes.
Just look at them here... (Photo of them at 2020 Japan interview where Jk said he was looking at JM)
See what I mean? Now you may not notice at first but look at JM's demeanor and compare it to moments in past interviews whenever JK is talking about him or their relationship.
Jk was on his flirting game which he usually is when he wants to break the ice with Jimin if there's been tension between them or when someone around is making a pass at JM and he wants them to know what's up- he ain't slick. Lol
At times too he takes the initiative to flirt when he is feeling super confident and cocky and hella bold and just wants to. Trust me, when he flirts with Jimin, IT IS NOT FOR FANSERVICE. He means that shit.
Now compare JM's body language in that Japan interview moment this one right here: (photo of JM and Jk at the interview where JK said from now on together)
Jimin usually acts very coy, giddy and whipped even around JK when JK flirts with him but most importantly he seems to egg JK on in such moments. He enjoys being claimed openly by JK just as much as JK loves being claimed by JM publicly- which is why as nervous as that makes him he keeps going back for more.
Now this is gonna sound controversial but I have seen JM tell Suga off at times when Suga has tried to initiate skinship with him. I won't show you the picture but you can watch it for yourself during the On Come back where they wore Purple and black. It happened right at the moment Suga touched JMs back. JM mouthed 'Hajima' to Suga to stop touching him. That's all I'm gonna say y'all. Lmho. Don't want trouble.
My point is, these boys have a filter. If they don't want something done to them they won't hesitate to say it or show it. Much like when JK pushed Tae's hand away during a VLive- and he's pushed JM off sometimes too. He is assertive more so than all the members. If he doesn't want something he won't do it or allowed it.
Suga asked him not to get the tattoos when he first expressed interest in them way back in American Hustle life. But he told them if army loves him they would love everything he does and not try to limit him. Jk does as JK pleases.
So yea, if JK didn't like what Jimin has been doing with him he wouldn't be around him much less reciprocate those feelings and actions and initiating them on his own at times. Their interactions are MUTUAL.
And yes, that was shade.
Jimin understands the guts it takes JK to take such initiatives with him and so he kinds of encourages Jk to go on with it or acts in a way that boosts JK's ego. Like when JK shouted 'arrest me' in the middle of an interview. Jk... SMH.
So it was a bit unsettling to watch JM not even try to flirt back with JK in moments like this like he usually would. Dude wasn't even initiating their shtick during this period first of all nor was he responding to them in a way he usually would.
Not sure the aesthetics he was going for here but it screamed let's keep this professional on camera and get naughty when we get home. Or much like, dude I asked for space and I'm realizing I like you just as much but stop coming on too strong.
Which frankly, is what the members have been asking them to do since October last year when the hashtag to cancel Jikook in S.K trended. So JM wouldn't be wrong to take such a stand....
Given that the crux of their issue has been that Jikook is developing into a brand almost independent of BTS' brand and this in a way is affecting the dynamics of the group, a little discretion wouldn't hurt.
The cheers for Jikook moments are getting louder and louder each year even at events such as awards and not just on stage. Jikook is taking a lifeform of it's own. Its becoming a brand almost as powerful as BTS' brand. They are a power couple or becoming one. Like or not. Their fans are becoming loud and large too. So often, lately, it seems they tend to steal the show and direct attention away from the band. It's crazy.
Tae literally had the floor, delivering his speech at the MMA 2019 but people weren't even paying attention to that at all. They were more interested in Jikook and whatever they were doing and they went nuts the moment JK held Jimin and even wilder when he placed his head on Jimin which is what lead to infamous standoff with RM.
JM had literally bumped his butt against Hobi's crotch region moments before the Jikook moment but the crowd didn't lose it as much. Please go back and listen to the deafening sounds of the crowd for yourself.
As much as we love Jikook, there are some that don't and they can be very loud. I'll leave it there. Please support Jikook. Thank you.
BTS had a whole concert end of October 2019 and the hashtag that trended was 'cancel Jikook.' That took away from the hardwork of the band and reduced it to a few seconds of two boys fanboying over eachother. That's.... sigh.
When you see it this way, the RM separating them at Jingle bell red carpet, on stage or even BigHit trying to regulate their Vlives make sense.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Moving on. So yea I wasn't sure about JM all this past few months especially as I believe he had asked for space in their relationship. You might not think much of it but given as JM had said in the past how if he had a lover he would want to be with them all the time and Jikook do spend a lot of time around each other but suddenly hear them talk about spending time apart and enjoying it and what not....
But I think I can stop worrying now because HE IS BACK! There is a new Jimin in town and he is taking names! Good for him!
And I don't mean his new hairdo this August. I mean the new attitude. This attitude:
Tumblr media
In this interview he says he would take JK to an island which smart decision. I would take JK too cos dude can do anything, cant he?! Bless him.
But thats beside the point. What I think is happening here is, Jimin finally took a stand. He made up his mind and he is not getting pushed around anymore. Because this Jimin hasn't showed up in a while now. Now he seems quite defiant most times if you've been paying attention to him, so rebellious, so sure of himself. Good for him. Spending time to himself has done him some good. It's given him room to reflect and sort out his priorities.
He loves his work, his band and he loves JK and it's hard when all of those start rubbing against eachother. But Fuck professionalism. He is in love with JK and that is professionalism too. Add loving JK till the end of time to his profession bishes!! :p
Sorry. I got carried away.
But seriously, he seems like his old self but it's also a new self because he hasn't been that self for a hot minute. This is JK's sweat tastes like holy water Jimin. This is I promised Jk I will go to the moon with him Jimin, this is I wanna go on a trip alone with JK Jimin- but badder. If you are a hardcore JM stand like I am you'd understand what I'm talking about.
HE IS BACK BABY! Our daddy is back!
The point of this post is to say, I believe JM finally figured out what he wants. So now hopefully the up and down should die down because quite frankly it's hard to keep up with those two I swear! We need a smooth sail Jikook. Make it happen!
I love it. I love where this is going and I can't wait to see more of their interactions so cheers to Jikookers and congratulations to Jimin for putting his shit together. We wanted rain. We about to be hit with a tsunami of Jikook moments.
Stay blessed. Stay beautiful. Jikook forever.
Signed,
Goldy

Future Hope
chapter one - Where it all began.
We all thought the new decade would be a new fresh start, a new beginning for humanity, we were all so excited for the the arrival of 2020... and it's unknown horrors that we awaited along with it.
it started with just jokes and memes, the virus wasnt affecting us, it didnt seem like a big deal. Then it reached Italy, then the United States. In a span of three months, the entire world changed and was affected by COVID-19. Then it happened.. the attack and sudden uprising of those who had privilege, but didnt know of it's power..
it started with the Black Lives Matter Protests, but it got worst, so unhumaningly worse. People around the country and the world tried to help and stop this evil, but it wasnt enough to stop them. The White Suprimacy.
Death, despair, anguish, loss for hope... What has the world come to?
Even after two years of the incident, in the year of 2022, the same horrors from before was still going on. No one could stop them, those who tried were imprisioned or now buried six feet under, people gave up, they lost hope... Until a new reason for that hope arrived.
It started as a friendship group. Eight people of different kinds, intetrests and hobbies brought together by a common interest, which soon grew into an unbreakable bond, sharing pictures or tagging one another with a funny meme attached to it, simple acts but filled with love.. Until this group almost lost a member.
A fight was happening while she was visiting a store, it was between a simple teen wearing a pride shirt and a middle aged man, bickering and arguing issued, but no one expected the man to pull out a gun and attempt to shoot the kid... Only to miss, and shoot the beloved group friend...
She was texting her friends while it happened, only for them to not hear anything for weeks... But she finally replied, after weeks in the hospital, recovering from the shot. One of the members couldnt have it anymore, and kindly asked for everyone to create a Discord account so they could all see how their wounded friend was doing. Everyone agreed, and surprised her with a call.
Maria was her name, and she couldnt be more delighted about the surprise..
"Yo! Yooo Bitch can you see us?!" Shouted one friend from their call
"For fuck's sake Spike the woman was shot and you have to call her a bitch?!" Rudely replied another friend, who's background was dark and gloomy and had far too many halloween decorations.
Maria laughed softly. "It's OK Spooks.. Wow.. I cant believe Im seeing you all.. Just wished it wasnt at the hospital through a videochat..." She said with a soft smile.
"It is truly a concerning situation we've been dragged into.. but it brings me joy to see you alive and well Maria" Said another friend, looking a little too-well dressed in the call
"Im guessing Griff begged you all to make a Discord huh..?" Maria said, looking at the video box of young man with a concerned yet and embarrassed look.
"Queen... We were so worried..." He answered, slightly choked up. "We thought you were a goner.. When you finally texted back I..I just had to see you..!"
Queen. A nickname she never thought someone would ever call her, hell it was a title that she didnt even deserve. Until she met Griff, which started to call her that, and her other friends jumped along, she always loved that nickname.. Made her feel special...
"Seeing you all together... All for me... It makes me want to cry.. But we dont have time for me getting emocional" Maria answered, suddenly stern
"Why is that Queen? Something going on?" Answered another friend, who was sucking on a lollipop during the call, such the sweet tooth she is.
Maria smiled. "No Muffin.. I simply have a proposal for you all.. And I hope you all are in with me...Because Im getting pretty sick of the way things are in this shit world.."
And so was born a new hope, a group of fighters that are indignified about the way things are, and how they almost took their friend away.
After healing completly at the hospital, they all met in person for the first time. Maria told them that they way they are now wont be enough to make a change to the world, but she knew how to fix that. After a small walk through the woods in the park, they came through a gated area, which Maria crawled under a broken spot of the gate and the others followed, doing the same.
"Long ago" Maria started speaking. "After I moved here, I decided to explore around this park for fun. That's when I found this abandoned gate and went through the same broken piece of wall of the gate we all came through, I believe that's here can help us become better then we already are."
Spike, chewing a piece of gum sneered at her comment. "Oh sure, what is it? A wishing well?"
"Well..." She answered as they came to a stop.
In front of them was a perfectly clean, almost sparkling fountain with clean crystal water still working and flowing out of an angel's vase. The fountain was too bright and shiny, it sure as hell didnt match the rest of the area's gloomy and dark visuals..
"It's a wishing fountain!" Maria spouted out, smiling wide. But the rest werent as.. cheery as she was.
"A fucking... wishing fountain?" Spike answered. "You expect me to believe that's a real wishing fountain? If that's true then why dont you wish for this shit world to become better?"
"I tried!" Maria answered "Apperently it doesnt make big wishes like that, it only makes wishes about yourself or something very small. Like wishing your room to be clean kind of small"
"I mean.. It kinda has that magic aesthetic, I mean, that thing is impeccably clean while the rest is covered in dirt?" Kip answered, glancing at the fountain.
"I know it sounds silly but it really works, I actually did my wish already!" Maria said smiling wide
"Bullshit" Spike answered "You aint a fucking Werewolf, what makes you think we believe you actually wished to be one?"
".. Cause I didnt wished to be a Werewolf..?" Maria answered, dumbfounded. "I always said that I LIKE Werewolves, but I never wanted to be one. I wished to be good at using a scythe and knife throwing, like exceptionally good ya know?" She said excitedly. "And before you answer, YES I do have a scythe, I bought one. Dont ask where."
"So... who goes first?" The smollest of the group, Rook, asked.
"I'll go" Said Griff, pulling out a coin before Maria stopped in this tracks. "This.. Doesnt accept coins" Maria said, seeming a bit worried.
"Then what?" Griff answered back, only to shocked when Maria answered "Blood".
Before Spike could throw a fit, Maria cut him. "Just a drop! Literally! I got a needle here with me, all you gotta do is prick your hand and let the drip fall after you make a wish."
"Let's just get on with it before Spike goes crazy again" Said Blink, the tallest of the group and the one to deal with Spike's bullcrap
Griff took Maria's needle and stood in front of the fountain...And said outloud his wish..
At first he whispered his wish, as if he didnt want anyone to hear it.
"Uh.. It has to be out loud or it wont work Griff." Maria said.
"I-I said.. I wish to be a strong, masculine and really beefy Wererabbit that's really manly and buffed up!!" he shouted with a tone of embarrassment in his voice.
"A Werebunny.. Griffy?" Said Maria in disbelief. "What?! It's co- ow!!" Without looking, he pricked his hand with the needle, and let the drop of blood fall into the fountain's water, mixing along with it. The fountain suddenly shined so brightly that everyone had to cover their eyes for a brief moment before it died out.
Then.. Silence.
"... So.. Now wh-AHCK!!!" Shouted Griff, hit with a sudden shot of pain throughout his body, which made him fall on his knees as everyone backed away from him. They watched in horror as not only he grew almost three times his size, but he got much fuzzier, his ears stretched into rabbit ears, his muscles swelled and bubbled as they grew bigger, his body shifted painfully into a hybrid between man and rabbit. When he finally finished, he just collapsed on the floor, panting exaustedly.
His friends were inicially shocked, until Maria snapped out of it and rushed to his side, placing a hand on his head. "Griffy? You OK..?"
He answered, in a much gruffer, deeper voice.. "Yeah.. Yeah Im good.."
"Jesus.. It worked.. Can you stand?" She asked. Griff nodded as he slowly got up and almost knocked his head on a tree branch from how tall he was now. Everyone was looking up at him, jaws dropped in shock and awe, until..
"HOLY SHIT YOU'RE NAKED!!!" Rook shouted as she covered her eyes, running in place "MY EYES!! THEY BURN!!!"
"We.. better finish these wishes quick and get you some pants." Maria added, Griff simply nodded as he covered himself embarrassed.
One by one they did their wishes. Becoming who they wanted to be to fufill their purpose with Maria.
Spike wished for strong arm strenght, fast stamina and an aluminum bat that never breaks, and can destroy almost anything. Blink asked for a sword, the ability to parkour and jump from building to building like some kind of vigilante. Kip asked to be part cat for the heck of it and that whatever she draws will become a reality. Muffin asked to be a fairy, to bring joy because she isnt a fighter. Togekiss asked for high I.Q, the ability to see simulations of possibilities in the future and telekenisis and teleportation. Spooks asked to be like an Underworld Goddess, with the power to summon shadows and have the darkness on her command, and finally, Rook asked to be part bird and a wizard with elemental nature, and musical spells,to honour her beloved Lammy, she also wished to have a split personality to be like her favorite character, ENA.
And so the team was ready, and soon they would make a change to the world, the revolution has begun, it was time to shine..
For a Future Hope.

The song which reminds me of a Mystic Messenger character
Introduction
I have chosen this song based on how I have perceived this certain character from the otome game. I have chosen this song because the lyrics reminded me of him every time I listened to the song.
The character I have chosen for my blog is Kim Yoosung and the song which reminds me of him is Zombie by the South Korean punk pop band Day6 from their 2020 album, The Book of Us: The Demon
Tumblr media
Before I write this blog I would give a trigger warning because it may have mentions of having suicidal thoughts so please read at your own risk.
The Lyrics
"What kind of day was yesterday
Was there anything special
I'm trying to remember
But nothing comes to my mind"
The lyrics above represents hopelessness and pessimism, the lyrics describes how the singer can't recall anything remotely positive happened to him on the previous day, he has been so used to the misery he has been dealing with. This reminds me of how Rika's "death" had severely affected Yoosung's life to the point that his life had come to a standstill, after that incident he had been waking up to face the same monotonous, miserable days which repeats over and over. He did not experience anything positive enough to affect him since the loss of his beloved cousin.
"Today goes by the same
Am I the only one struggling
How do I get through this
Would things get better
If I cry my heart out"
The first line of the lyrics again brings back our focus to the monotonous nature of the singer's life, just like the singer Yoosung too leads a monotonous, colourless life. Just like the lyrics mentioned above, Yoosung feels that he is the only one who is still not over grieving over his cousin since the other RFA members in his perception are seemingly doing well and are succesful in their careers while he is stuck in the past and wasting away his life. He is desperate to get over the never ending pain he had been feeling since the tragic incident due to which he finds comfort in playing video games which helps him to drown his sorrows but unfortunately it turns into a serious addiction and it actually does more harm to him than doing good. The last two lines also depicts the singer's strong desire to get over the heartache and thus he wonders if crying out loud would make his agony subside. This reminds me of how just like the singer Yoosung too had desired to cry out his pain several times, but he knows that it is futile since the rest of his friends are eventually going to invalidate his feelings in some way or the other.
"Yeah we live a life
Just running in circles day and night
Yeah we live a life
Though I try to change something
I cant seem to do anything
And I have got nothing left with me"
As the lyrics mentioned above Yoosung lives a life where he is just running in circles, he wakes up, goes to school (and can't pay attention to his lessons), comes back home, plays video games for the entire remaining day, and the cycle repeats. However he tries his best to change his situation, he joins various clubs in his school, the stitching club, the barista club and many more but, he quickly ends up losing interest in them and quitting them since they barely help him to cope up with his crippling depression. Just like the lyrics mentioned above, he found nothing to permanently get rid of his heartache. The last line reminds me of the void his cousin and role model Rika had left. After Rika's absence, there was no one for him to look up to, there was no one whom he would love to impress by performing well and finally there was no one to give him the type of emotional closure which he desperately craves for.
"I feel like I became a Zombie
With an empty heart and empty head
A scarecrow without a brain inside
Since when did I end up like this oh why"
Zombie is a person's corpse which continues to haunt the earth even after the actual demise of the person. Just like a zombie, Yoosung had been dead inside. He isn't living up to his fullest like he used to under Rika's guidance before, he is just surviving for the sake of it. A scarecrow is a term which is also used for describing a person in ragged clothes. Usually a person in ragged clothes is either not able to take care of themself and/or is not bothered about taking care of themself. In Yoosung's case, its both. He plays video games most of the time barely letting himself get a wink of sleep, he also does not give himself proper meals on time and happens to survive on convenient store foods and this is all because of his crippling depression which makes him hardly care about his own well being. Since he had been dealing with depression for quite a while and it has been a pretty long time since Rika's "demise" he can't recall for how long he had been persistently melancholic.
"I became a Zombie
I walk on drifting aimlessly
Tomorrow will be no different
I live counting the time
Till I close my eyes"
Initially Yoosung aimed to be a vet due to Rika's influence for which he worked hard to earn the top position in his class during his highschool years and he even joined one of the reknowned universities in the country with full scholarship, until the sudden disappearance of his cousin from his life. After her absence he had lost all of his sense of direction and aim in his life, he was no longer motivated to do well enough to accomplish his dreams. He had stopped expecting anything different would happen to him on the next day and is waiting for everything to end. The last lines reminds me of him in the Another Story routes. There it was very obvious that he had extremely dark thoughts where he wished to put and end to his sufferings (and thats why Zen kept him under his watchful eye to prevent the younger man from doing anything dangerous).
"Yeah we live a life
Eyes wide open in the dark
This meaningless life
Though I want to just let go
Though I want to just dream on
There is nothing I can do anymore"
The line "eyes wide open in the dark" can be used in the situation both literally and metaphorically at the same time. In the literal sense it reminds me of Yoosung's messed up sleep schedule where he barely sleeps at night. In the metaphorical sense it depicts that he can't see anything ahead of himself, except darkness, his eyes are wide open to see any possible beam of hope which he could not find at that moment. His future plans are luxury for him. When he sees the other RFA members, such as Jumin, Jaehee and Zen who are successful he desires to become as succesful as them. But whenever he dreams, he has this persistent thought that he will never be as successful as them, no matter whatever he does. That tragic incident had not only left him with crippling depression but also had shattered his self esteem.
"Get it all out, wanna cry
Let go of everything
Can I cry
Give me back my tears, they have run dry"
The lines above again depicts the desparate need to get over the crippling depression which is consuming the singer like a black hole. From the previous descriptions here, it is clear that in a similar fashion, Yoosung too is desparate to get over his sufferings. This reminds me of that one time when he told that he wants to cry so hard that he would blank out. He had already cried several times while grieving over Rika, yet he isn't satisfied.
Miscellaneous
Tumblr media
I had also made a fanart on Yoosung based on this song because I was heavily inspired by the illustrated music videos I have seen of this song
Conclusion
I had been planning to make a lyric blog which would be related to a Mystic Messenger character. I am sorry that this took a very long time to come out. The only alibi I have to justify why I took so much of time is that, I was extremely nervous about it, I wanted to write a very good blog but I was not feeling confident enough about my project and hence I was extremely nervous about writing this blog. I an very glad for having instagram user @emilytheredone help me write this blog, she helped me to ease my nervousness over writing this blog. I am very thankful to her. Therefore, please let me know if this blog has turned out to be good.

How he would spend a rainy day: playing kingdom hearts II in his pajamas. Spending habits: great at hoarding all of his allowance! since he’s not spending it on food, he’s an excellent saver. pre-vampirism kody was not as cautious with his spending.  Smoking/drinking/drugs?: no way 🙅🏼 has yet to even try alcohol Extremely skilled at: cheering up his friends! finding the good in others and convincing them to see it too 🤗 Extremely unskilled at: stopping himself from crying when he’s sad / when he’s in the middle of crying. putting together pieces of their investigations. sure, he can find things -- but what the hell is he supposed to do with them once he’s got it?!?! Nervous tics: anxious picking at his cuticles. messing with his hair. aggressive foot tapping. scrolling through his phone without actually looking at anything.  Usual body posture: that boy has been working on rollercoaster code on his computer for YEARS. his body posture is absolutely RUINED! Mannerisms: constantly talking with his hands. bouncin’ around like tigger when something exciting happens. abbreviating things that don’t need to be abbreviated. the loudest in the room at all times.
Traits Optimist or pessimist? Introvert or extrovert? Daredevil or cautious? Logical or emotional? Leader or follower? Disorderly and messy or methodical and neat? Prefers working or relaxing? Confident or unsure of himself/herself? Animal lover? HELL YEAH.
Self-perception How do they feels about themselves?: before the year 2020, kody actually quite liked himself! he realized that he was goofy and sometimes not everyones cup of tea, but for the most part, he knew he was a good guy who was a little obnoxious! now, he has mixed feelings about himself. vampirism has elevated a lot of his emotions and more often than not now, he dislikes himself for what he’s become, or what he could become if things turn bloody.  One word the character would use to describe themselves: spunky What does the character consider their best trait?: his compassion What does the character consider their worst trait?: his gullibility  What does the character consider their best physical characteristic?: his fluffy hair !! What does the character consider their worst physical characteristic?: that he’s a short king. stream short kings anthem by tiny meat gang How does the character think others perceive them?: he’s pretty sure most people think that he’s wildly annoying, but that doesn’t stop him from being fully himself most of the time!  What would the character most like to change about himself/herself: his vampirism!! get this shit out of him just make him a normal aging boy again!!
Relationships with others Opinion of other people in general: kody is a big ole’ ball of love, and thus so, he tries to share that with everyone. strangers are treated with compassion, acquaintances are treated as old friends, and friends are treated like family. unless kody already knows someone to be a bad person, or is wary of them, he’s genuinely one of the nicest people one could ever meet. Opinion of the Scooby Gang: talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it. Does the character hide their true opinions and emotions from others?: it depends on the topic, but for the most part, yes. when it comes to most scooby gang related endeavors, kody will share his thoughts -- if it’s something related to movies or tv, he’ll be talking your ear off for hours. if it’s something that could result in it hurting someone else, he’ll be quiet, and if his vampirism was ever to come into question, he’d be absolutely be suppressing it.  Most important person in character’s life: oh god, not to pick scooby gang favorites, but probably aj. she’s the closest thing he has to a sister, and he doesn’t know what he would do without their banter, and her support. Best friend/s: aj darke, dylan frye, & arabella byrne Dating experience: absolutely none. kissed 2 girls in the span of 2 years over 3 years ago. Romancing: kody wouldn’t know the first thing about trying to get someone to date him. all he knows is the stuff he’s seen on tv, watched in movies, or experienced around him ( such as his parents successful marriage, or his friends dating people ), but if it were to come down to him, he’d be extremely awkward. picture tom holland’s spiderman trying to talk to zendaya’s mj in far from home -- because that’s extremely accurate. kody isn’t trying to date anyone right now for a couple of reasons: one being that he’s too nervous, and not exactly looking for love, but if it were to happen... he wouldn’t run from it necessarily. but two being that his vampirism creates a bit of a problem for him, and he’s not sure if he should subject anyone to the curse he’s stuck with.
Extra Physicality: if necessary, could probably lift a car and throw it down the street. as of right now, doesn’t know how strong he really is / is more concerned about hurting his friends with this supposed strength than he is finding out how many hundreds of pounds he could lift. kody in a fight? probably losing within the first five seconds, unless bloods drawn and the instinct to pounce takes over. Species: vampire How do they feel about it?: hates it. would do anything to reverse it. wishes he had just stayed a little longer at karma cafe that night. or had never gone at all. How do they look in their supernatural form?: pretty much the same, however when he’s hungry and near blood, his eyes go all dark and bloodshot, and the veins around his eyes start to pulse ( basically just like vampire diaries ), but kody is unaware of this since he’s never seen it happen to himself or another vampire

PAIN OF BEING IN LOVE
Part 2
Chris Evan's x Reader
@jtargaryen18 30 days of chris 2020
summary: following the news of Chris's engagement you find your way back down memory lane . To the finding and first crack in your love for Chris that would only lead to the current pain you are in
Tumblr media
The part couple of hours have been a blur ever since Lisa had announced that Chris was getting married to his actress girl friend ,Minka . You feel like your mind was somewhere as your body floated around not releasing what was going on , feeling numb . You dont know how or when but you laid on your bed under the covers in the pitch black . Finally letting the tears fall . You knew this day would come , but it doesnt stop the pain , the constant stabbing in your chest . You always knew loving Chris was bad for you , but you did it anyway, you still do . And you know deep down no matter what the future holds for you or who you have in your life you will love Chris . And you will always love the joy and pain he brings into your life , without anyone knowing, well apart from Scott now . And you know no one , ever , future ,past , present will have the same effect on you as those blue eyes do . You will always love chris , different love no one could ever be able to beat or match or even go higher But you kept it a secret long enough and it will always be . It's not like you expect somewhere down the line you two might end up together, that was never gonna happen . His to good for you , and his sees you as a sister . An Minka is perfect for him in every way . You are happy for him truly getting the life he has always wanted . But that doesnt stop the pain. You cant help but remember to the day you realised you love him and how he could never be yours , you never would allow it .
+++++++++++++++
Flashback
'The dickhead , errrrrrr knew it was too good to be true , I bet his getting a proper kick out of it ' 14 year old you was standing outside the cinema. The movie you were ment to be seeing playing, probably half way through now . Your date never turned put and to be honest your not that disappointed, he seem like an asshole anyway . Your just annoyed he probably thinks it's fun and thinks your crying. (You wouldnt allow your self to cry over something so pathetic in your eyes ) But you can't help on single tear roll down your cheek , this was ment to be your first date . You didnt want to go , you wasnt interested, but Scott kept pushing you to give it a shot. At least one lesson was learnt , dont listen to Scott but it's a lesson you already knew all to well .
To make things worst Scott wasnt picking up his phone . Probably to busy was something stuiped as always . Once you called him the 10th time you started to become stressed . How was you gonna get home ? You felt more teare escape due to the stress .
Scrolling though your contacts you came across Chris . You held your thumb over the name of awhile debating whether to call him or not . He was Scott's older brother ,you didnt want to make a fool of your self and seem like a little girl who cant look after her self but at the same time he said he you ever needed him he was one phone call away .
So that's what you did . With your phone now up to your ear you waited to see if he would answer. 'Hes probably busy with his new girlfriend '
But to your surprise he answered
"Hello "
"Hi " your voice cracked and tears began to run down your cheek at the sound of his voice.
"Y/n are you okay ?" You could hear the panic in his voice , you just let out a loud hiccup as your tried not to cry "... tell me where you are I'll come and get you "
"But ... a... arnt you .u busy ?"
"I'm never to busy for you . Now where are you ?" He demand as you heard on the phone and loud slam you could only assume a door and a seconde later you heard his car engine.
"Umm Chris it's fine, I should of called "
"Sweetheart tell me where you are ,or I swear I'll look on every street in Boston. "
"Umm but "
"Y/n " he warned
"I'm at the cinema 15 minutes away from your and Scott's "
"Okay I'll be there in 5 " he ended the call .
How can he be here in 5 , its 15 minutes away . Unless he is going to speed . He better not. Maybe he already knew where I was . Oh who iam kidding his nee girlfriend probably leaves 5 minutes away .
And with that you waited ,not much else you could do . Your tears died down . Still feel stuipid of crying over something or someone or somewhere you didnt even want to be
As if in a blink of an eye a battered dirt coloured trunk pulled up in front of you . The windows rolled down to show a very conserndier Chris showing lines on his youthful face as he frownd . "Get in " he muttered by in a tone that was not to be argued with . So you step forward hesitant at first but then you remember you did call him . As as you open the car door and I one footed jump into the truck , shuting the door behind you placing your bag in front of you , inbetween your feet as you fiddled with the seat belt .
"So ... " he began " why are stranded at the cinema "
"I was... um "
' Why am so nervous '
"I was ment to be on a date ..." it was then you final met Chris eyes that showed a flash if emotion as if he was almost hurt at the thought of you on a date . But it was probably because you interrupted his own . But you still felt a need to explain as if to avoid hurting his feelings.
"He ..he stood me up.. its not like I even wanted to go it was all Scots idea ." To quickly finished quite nervous as if you did something wronge .
Chris raised an eyebrow "Scotts ha ?" You nodded
"I tried calling him but he didnt pick up "
"So you called me ?" You nodded " so why was you crying if you didnt even want to be on the date ?"
"I was not!" You never like showing your emotions it made you feel weak and you are anything but weak .
"I heard you on the pho..." he chucked trying to lighten the mood
"I was just stress I didn't know how I was gonna get home "
"Well iam here now "
"So can you take me home ?" You questioned
"No !" You were shocked by his sudden answer.
"What ?"
"I'm not taking you home, not yet anyway " he said with his sights smirk .
"So where ?"
"Surprise!" He said starting the engine
"But ... but dont you have to get back to your girlfriend?"
"Pfff girlfriend?" He looked confused.
"Yeah Scott said you had a girlfriend "
"You shouldn't listen to Scott "
"I know that " you giggled now looking out the widow watching the world pass away. Unaware of certain blue eyes keep glancing at you with a smile only for you .
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
" you didn't have to do this you know " said while manching on your fries in a dinner Chris brought you to .
" I did !" He agreed with a mouth full of his burger ." I couldn't make you go home with a frown " he said with his mouth. You blush at his words but disgusted by his manners .
Throughing a scrunched up napkin you giggled playfully " dont speak you your mouth full "
He raised an eyebrow and smirked a little sorry .
"Why do you care anyway , why do this just to make me smile " you giggled certainly in a better mood , his blue eyes stared into your in awe and a quite mutter you just about heard " if only you knew " but you swear you heard him wrong some you moved on to your next question . As those also familiar butterflys return to your stomach when ever your around Chris .
" So is that your job to make me smile " you ask while putting another frie or two in your mouth .
"Among other thing "
"Like ..?" Your curiosity getting the better of you .
" Give me the punks name ? " he glared at you but still in a soft manner as if to tell you his anger wasnt towards you
" what ?"
" the idiot who stood you up I want his name " he demanded as if a man on a misson .
"Why? "
"Because he made a mistake standing you up "
"And whys that ?"
Because he stood up the best girl in Boston, I know I wouldnt if I was him" the last part came out a bit shaky and quite .
"It doesn't matter anyway " you felt the butterflies raise to your chest as your heart began to faster .
"Because it does "
You couldn't argue anymore , abit scared by his tone you gave him the boys name . But you were still under the spell of his blue eyes . And it was at that moment everything your mother said as a child when you ask about love , princess and prince, clicked in your head . She expain how the flurry feeling never goes away as their around, how theirs a smile on your face always. And how their a feeling. A feeling only there can make you feel . It was at this moment you realised
Holy shit I'm in love with Chris
As you stared at those blue eyes surrounding a 17 year old Chris you knew you always had a little crush on him . You were pretty sure half of the girls in school did . But it never accrued to you just how far those feelings ran .
"Why do you care ?" You titled your head .
"Because your Scotte best friend " he smirked with yet another mout h full of his burger. You giggled at his terrible manners .knowing full well he was doing it because he knew it annoyed you .
And it was in this moment you knew
'He will never be your y/n and keep it that way to keep both Scott and Chris in your life '
You put on a small smile , as the first crack appeared on you new found love for Chris that will forever be on you heart . If only you knew it would be the first of many. Leading to the one big hole you feel currently. But that's the pain of being in love

pulling up with a baby with tendou bc of the quarantine and how the team would react pls 🥺 i feel like coach washijo would be happy and would try to convince yall to let the bby go to shiratorizawa 🤣
anon ive been having the worst day but this request made me lose my shit thank u so much GOOD LORD LMFAOO
I did my best to do this request JUSTICE lol. it turned into general baby havin hcs but I hope you like it regardless!! its rlly long so my bad 🥺
Shiratorizawa reacting to Tendou + his s/o leaving lockdown w a mfin BABY
OK. so he was prob at your apartment when the lockdown was announced
so since all his shit was already there, he had clothes and a toothbrush n it was just generally more convenient for him to stay at your place
he did! he messaged his mom to let her know where hed be, she Didnt Mind lol (we dont know much ab tendous family so?? aah)
now. not saying yall spent all ur time fucking. but u 100% did
and since u ran out of birth control and condoms pretty soon into quarentine......... 👀
both of u sorta just went
FUCK IT
both of you were pretty in love anyway, and even if things didnt work out, you guys figured that youd always work together to be the best parents for the kid you could possibly be
which led to were ur at now. a measly week out of quarantine. n ur being rushed to the labour ward.
tendou is RUNNING AFTER U W HIS LONG ASS LEGS
shiratorizawa closed for the rest of the academic year, which meant that as a 3rd year, you guys and a lot of the team wouldnt see eachother in uniform again
but not to worry!! to make up for the missed celebrations theyve organised a prom and a couple days where 3rd years can come in and give proper goodbyes to everyone, including the coaches!!
everyone on the team showed up, because they wanted to say bye to their senpais 🥺🥺
but. that's like 3 months from ur labour
so when u n tendou pull up to the school, with a 3month old CHILD they r. astounded.
they know its u guys' tho
literally theres not even the possibility for a JOKE that u cheated on tendou because the kid has the same fucking hair.
it's only a little tuft (u know what anime babies look like lol) but that nose n that hair? TENDOU SATORIS GENES CAME THRU
the baby has ur eyes. and compared to the rest of its tiny little face?? they're fucking HUGE
you guys let ushijima hold him (I feel like youd have a son?) and ngl ushi cries.
it's a single tear but tendou will INSIST that waka was SOBBING years afterward
everyone is so attached to the kid sorry
USHIJIMA IS THE GODFATHER LMAO DID U EXPECT ANYTHING ELSE???
the baby is so attached to semi tho!!! the second semi reaches forward to hold the kid and poke at its fat lil cheeks, hes giggling and blubbering up at his uncle semi 🥺
JWJDJD GOSHIKI FREEZES WHEN YOU OFFER HIM TO HOLD THE KID. HE JUST GOES PALE AND FREEZES UP
REON IS SO GOOD WITH THE BABY
he offers to help you guys go shopping for more baby stuff 🥺🥺 and when his mom finds out ab the kid (team sleepovers were at reons house n u were ALWAYS invited so she LOVES U sorry I make the rules)
she gives u some of reons old baby clothes!!! n ur LOSING ur mind because WDYM THIS TALL MFER WAS ONCE LIKE A FOOT TALL AND WEARING A BLUE BEAR ONESIE???
she doesnt judge u for being a young mother!! I imagine she was too?? Reon is real respectful n I'll be damned if she isnt just as sweet
the coaches are already on your ass about toddler volleyball. they call up a couple friends and have already organized a group for teaching young Young YOUNG kids how to play despite ur son being. 3 months old.
the whole team is Maybe in love with your son
sorry. it's our son now. shiratorizawa owns ur kid :/
when shirabu is holding your boy. the whole team watches as semi get jealous????? over a kid that's NOT his???
hes petty and tells him that hes holding him wrong (hes not)
washijo is obsessed with ur baby. hes so proud of tendou. insisting that ur son being 'the size of a FAT volleyball' is a great sign for his skills in the court
the whole team. is offering money. they know u 2 are JUST out of highschool and with quarentine, are probably pretty low on cash??
BUT !! I 100% hc that tendou draws!! nd hes been doing a shit load of commissions for like. years LOL
n hes always saved that money!! he only spent it on shounen jump, which dont make too much of a dent in the money pile lol
besides he took emergency comms the second you guys found out ab the pregnancy
if you draw/write/do any work from home that's gets you money, then you do that too!!
he forces u to do less work than him tho because hes WORRIED AB U N THE BABY 🥺
but you guys appreciate the offers from your friends!!! Reon and Ushi's mom both volunteer to baby sit when you guys want a date night, thus ur child creating one hell of a friendship between the ex-captain and his vice's mothers 🥺
I'm not gonna go thru ALL the team members reactions
but they're all really happy!! ofc they scold tendou for not using protection and are MAJORLY GROSSED OUT KNOWING THAT THE TWO OF U HAVE INDEED HAD SEX
even tho the fact that satori is a Horny boy should be universal knowledge by now
the team is there for you guys while the baby grows up!! the second the kid can walk ushi is kneeling down and teaching him to spike
tendou is just as bad and insists that his son is a prodigy and should be a pro volleyball player already
LISTEN
TENDOUS SHIRATORIZAWA NUMBER??? HIS JERSEY
U GUYS GET A TINY VERSION OF THAT MADE
EVEN OF HE ISNT DOING VOLLEYBALL ANYMORE THIS MAN IS SO PROUD TO SEE HIS NUMBER ON HIS BOY 🥺🥺🥺👉🏻👈🏻
ur son is a mamas boy n it breaks tendous heart ngl
u make up for it by having a daughter a year or two down the line 😳 n shes OBSESSED with her dad it's cute but also BABY ur 4 please stop sleeping in mommy n daddies bed 🥺🥺🥺
also ur sons first words
oh boy
u can tell that the whole fuckin team has been teaching ur son volleyball stuff
u came home n ur son is sat in the living room SURROUNDED by ur (other) boys
ur (main) boy starts blubbing and bouncing at the sight of his mama 🥺 (or dada/other parent if ur an afab trans person!!!)
you tell off the team for tryna get ur baby into vball when hes barely 6months at this point
but before the boys all leave 🥺🥺 ur son grabs his favourite uncle semi and just goes
'sehtah!!!' (setter)
SEMI BREAKS DOWN CRYIBG LMAOOO
ngl tendou n u r kinda pissed that ur babies first words werent mama or dada. but then u see how happy semi is n u both just 🥺
semi is soft for your son and as the kid grows up hes still attached to him
he cant get away with being a brat though, boys got a whole mfing TEAM of dads/uncles PLUS grampy Washijo are ready to scold this boy
your son (and future daughter) are both SO loved though
theyve always got SOMEONE they know they can depend on
the team loves tendou and they love u, so OFC they ADORE any kids u guys have EVER.
they stay in contact with both of you even if you split up later on, they care enough about you guys that the y/n tendou powercouple is something every new generation of shiratorizawa volleyboys are taught about and introduced to
and YES ANON. WASHIJO DOES INSIST ON YOUR KID(S) GOIN SHIRATORIZAWA
they're guaranteed a spot!! they dont even have to work for it lmfaooo
mostly because coach threatens to leave the school and work with karasuno if they dont confirm them a place
it's an empty threat but it WORKS
the worldwide lockdown of 2020 is something you and tendou remember fondly forever 🥺
even if it was in bad circumstances the two of you made something so positive
this turned into general baby hcs with tendou MY BAD LOL IM IN LOVE WITH THIS MAN AND ALSO CONSTANTLY GOING THRU BABY FEVER

Prompt #30: “Splinter” - FFXIV Write 2020
“So, that’s it then.” She watched him paw at the last crate, like a child waiting to be scolded. Again. Always. His shoulders sagged. He smelled clean, not a whiff of gin, not a hint of whiskey. It made her wonder what the hell he had been up to all night. Where could he have gone other than some bar? What did he have to do but drink? And why couldn’t he have just stayed and drank here? She wouldn’t admit, even to herself, that only the first half of that question mattered.
“So, that’s it then.” She echoed his words, hoping that they’d find meaning at some point between her throat and her lips, but they tumbled away from her just as hopelessly as the ashtray she had launched at him when he said he was leaving. Finally leaving, he had put it, she reminded herself.
He fidgeted with a dent in the crate. That damnable last crate, she reminded herself. For days now, there had always been one more crate, one more bag of laundry, one more excuse to come back home—No, not his home, she reminded herself. He doesn’t want it.—but this was it. This was the last crate. 
She wanted one more crate so he’d have to come back tomorrow.
She wanted one more crate to burn in effigy.
Thinking about this man was exhausting. It was vexing. Feeling about him? That was even worse. She was halfway through Wine Bottle #2 last night when she resolved not to do that anymore. And here he was, being all sad. This wouldn’t do. She wouldn’t do this again. She wouldn’t tear herself open so he could find another comfortable place to lay. If he wanted to go, he would go. She would make sure of it.
She drew a deep breath and stared at him through half-lidded eyes, though there was nothing even the slightest bit inviting or suggestive about her demeanor. If she was to be through with him, she had to be tired of him. Usually, he hated it when she was tired of him. “So, what’s after Gridania for the Great Evander?” she asked, and did her best not to give half a shit about the answer. She had to ask, and it had to be perfunctory. This conversation had to be pointless.
He has to want to walk away.
He cast his gaze somewhere off to nowhere. She could tell he didn’t like the question, which felt rewarding. Rewarding, and sad. He took in a long, sharp breath and answered her anyway, for some reason. “Thanalan, I think. Horizon, maybe. Perhaps Ul’dah proper.” He was just making it up. It was charming, and infuriating, and she hated it. “So what’s after Gridania for the great Lucinda?”
She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, not because it bothered her, but because it gave her something to do. She tried not to turn that realization around in her head until it turned into a metaphor, like a rough gem being polished in a goldsmith’s tumbler. Or… shit, is that a simile or a metaphor? She waved her own thoughts away and hoped he interpreted it as her waving him—or his question, at least—away. “There is no ‘after Gridania for the great Lucinda. But you know that.” She chuckled, again, because she had to do something. “I’ll stay here. I’ll find studio space. I’ll paint. I’ve always painted. I will always paint.”
He looked at her. Or through her. Sometimes she could tell the difference. Sometimes she couldn’t. Another thing she couldn’t let continue. 
And it hit her. She wasn’t letting, or not letting anything continue. She wasn’t stopping anything. She wasn’t making anything happen. He was leaving. He was walking out. He was doing whatever the hell he damn well pleased. And he picked a fine time to do it, a fine time to decide that nothing mattered. Not a year in the Shroud. Not a shared home. Not a hundred sweet wines and not a thousand sweeter words. Her eyes shot to the dent on the crate he had been worrying at and she vaguely recalled their exchange, just before she sent the ashtray hurtling at him. “You gave me a promise!” she had shouted. It felt like she was always shouting. “I gave you a warning,” he had hissed. He… had never hissed before. It didn’t suit him, but it somehow still stung.
And he had never walked away.
But he was doing it now, and she could do nothing about it.
The only decision you ever made was to walk away. You… don’t get to do that. There was still one thing left, she realized. She couldn’t make him stay, but she could make sure he was never really rid of her.
“Say, Evander,” she asked, making sure her voice was equal measure reluctance and, she hoped, a lingering fondness. Perhaps a touch of regret? “Would you like one of them? A painting to remember me by?” She canted her head to the side, a familiar stance that she knew made him feel weak. “Of course.” He smiled. Smiling always came so easy to him, even when he didn’t mean it. “How could I say no?”
“We both know how you could say no.” You’ve become so fucking good at it all of a sudden, after all. But you won’t say no. You should have learned that word a long time ago, when it would have done us both some good, instead of now, when it’s just convenient for you. She smiled at him again and turned on her heels to walk back to their—Not ‘our,’ she reminded herself, ‘my’—house. 
Everything in the studio reminded her of him, and it made her hate the studio. It made her hate him. It made her hate herself. She hated the frames, the canvas, the easels, the pigments, the oils. She hated the air and the empty wine bottles and the empty woman that busied herself with all of it. She grabbed the one thing she didn’t hate and made haste out of the room. As her fingers slipped over the wooden frame of the painting, she felt something brief, jagged and miserable, but she pushed through it. She only had to endure this with a smile for a few more moments, and then she’d be done. She tried to think only of the painting, and not of the man it depicted. She tried not to think of the hours she had studied him sleeping, of the blissful moments spent tracing every scar or freckle with her perpetually stained fingertips. She just tried to think of how perfectly she had blended the colors, how perfectly she had rendered his expression. Idles of the King, she called it. That was enough to make her smile, to let her endure. Well, that, and the knowledge that he’d be too embarrassed to hang a nude portrait of himself and too damn sentimental to ever get rid of it. On one hand, it stung that perhaps her final piece would never be seen by anyone, but it also felt so fitting. No matter what, this painting would live wherever he did, and even if no one saw it, as long as he knew it was there, she would be living rent-free in his head. In a way, they were never truly done with each other.
She smiled when she handed it to him. She smiled as her finger throbbed. She smiled as she removed the cloth covering and unveiled her masterpiece to its subject, and to her, that moment was the real art. That moment, and every moment after, when the piece, or the woman who made it, occupied even a shred of his attention, was the real art.
He was breathless, which was both exhilarating and painful. This was it. He had actually never seen the piece, then. All these months she had been working on it, and he had not once stole into her studio when she wasn’t there to snoop. Somehow, that respect for her privacy was galling. “The eyes are perfect,” he finally said. She rolled her eyes—this asshole had actually called them jade, once. Jade!—in response, as if it was nothing. “Amber. Cliche, but I always knew, from day one, which pigment I’d use for you,” she lied. She had labored meticulously for weeks to create a blend that actually captured what she saw when she let herself get lost in his gaze. 
“Thank you, Lucinda.” He stalled, his fingers tracing the wooden frame while securing the painting’s place in the cart. “So, that’s it then?” She wasn’t repeating his words anymore. This time she was asking. She was making sure. He would answer to her. “So, that’s it then.” He nodded, and echoed her words, and she finally felt that measure of control she was looking for. As he disappeared around the bend at the end of what had once been their rolling, pastoral property, Lucinda Winsome finally brought her attention to her aching, throbbing finger and the splinter that remained.

Covid has really been hitting people hard, but today, as a University student in her third term, I'd like to talk about schools spesifically
I remember last year in my second term when classes got moved online. I had an anxiety attack week one because I just couldent do it. I just cant do school things while I'm at home - I cant even read for leasure (something I really enjoy doing) at home. Theres too many House things to do at home, that's why I designated spesific things to do elsewhere. But now I cant leave my house except for work.
My english teacher too, told me of the day it was announced the whole college was going online, that he saw teachers crying in the hallway. If I were teaching that year it would have been me aswell. But instead, I took the 2020 fall term off, picking up more hours at my essential worker job with my terrible boss who somehow hadn't gotten fired yet. I took the term off, hoping to avoid the chaos of online learning while it was at its worse. But I couldent avoid online school forever, if I skipped a second term in a row i would have to re-enroll; an unnecessary spending of 50$.
This 2021 spring term, I was talking with my counselor about the due date to drop classes; he said the final day to drop without getting marked down for it AND fined for a late fee was feb 17th, a good 3 or 4 weeks after classes start. Great. Except today I got an email saying a 3% late fee would be applied by the first of February.
That was 17 days of class I could have spent figuring out if I had too much on my plate or not. I was already prity confidant I would keep astronomy and psychology, but Spanish Film became a big issue today. The teacher was sick the first 2 days, so today was our first real lecture. Her native language is spanish, and thus she has an accent. An accent I just cant understand (none of which is her fault).
It's hard enough paying attention to the zoom lectures, but now I dont even know what the teacher is saying? How am I supposed to deal with that. I tell my mom and shes completely unremorsful - saying I should just turn up the volume (I have sensitive ears and would like to actually be able to hear when I'm her age so hard pass - it also genuinely just does not work for me, I did try it) or I should just drop the class. But then I start wondering what if this spanish film is the one class for its UCORE requirement I can actually pass? What if the other options are harder and I make things worse by dropping it? What if - what if - what if -
And I feel myself start to spiral. But I dont - I cant have another anxiety attack over online school. This is only the beginning of the term, I barely made it though the last 4 weeks of last years term. Pull yourself together and just email her
I finally gather enough courage to press send on the email I typed up asking her to see if she can figure out how to add CC to help me pay attention and focus (and also just genuinely know what the fuck she is talking about cause I was so lost today). A few hours after I send that email, she posts the next film and assignment along with graphic scene warnings for the film. I cant even read the warning sentence without almost getting triggered.
At first I thought telling her about it would be out of the question, considering she still hadent responded to my previous email - that would be asking for help twice in one day on 2 different subjects. But as I keep thinking about it, weighing my options, I cant stand it anymore. The warning sentence alone was too triggering - and if I watched the scene I would surely get worse and worse symptoms of my irrational fear. I cant watch that scene. So I email her again telling her as much, asking for an alternate film to watch (as she stated she would do if students needed one) or if I should just try to skip past the scene and watch the rest of the film.
She emails back rather quickly, saying not to worry and I dont have to watch it. But she doesnt say anything about an alternative and still hasnt responded to my other email. I start to worry again. How bad of a student must I be to ask for help/special circumstances on 2 completely different areas of the class to put me on an equal playing field in less that 12 hours. Now I'm that student that's always asking for special things to help me. What if it turns out I'm lying about needing them and I'm just doing it to be lazy and get out of extensive work? How terrible of a student must I be then?
No. I remember in 8th grade my math teacher told us about 2 students he used to have that raised their hands and asked a lot of questions every day in class, and one day they came up to him and said 'we must be your worst students, huh' and he was all 'on the contrary, you are my best students'
They asked questions. They asked for help when they were confused, and they learned a lot more by asking than doing otherwise - I'm sure a few other students learned at least a bit from their questions too.
So no, I am not the worst student for asking for accommodations. I'm a responcible adult who genuinely wants to learn from that class and not fail or need to drop it. I want to be successful. And if that teacher wont help me, it's not worth taking her class.
So go forth, and ask your teachers questions with the youth of a 6 year old asking random off topic questions just for fun!
Tl;dr you arent the worst student ever for asking for help no matter what kind of help or how much you ask for - it just makes you a better student, and better than the teacher if they refuse to help you :)

Hi uhm this is a bit random but lately i cant find the passion to draw or make OCs... i normally have some kind of video game, movie or tv show to inspire me but lately nothing... you have any tips or even recommendations? Its totally cool if you dont answer its a hard question... thx for your time
Tumblr media
I feel you man. I really feel you. ✋😔
For a very long time, I have struggled to make OCs that really stick with me. I used to have so much passion and made tons of elaborate OCs all the time, but not anymore.. I cant tell you how to get that passion back, because I don’t know. I wish I did.. But.. what I can tell you is how to make new OCs without it.
Now first, before anything else, one thing you could try if making new OCs isn't working.. is to dig up some old OCs and try them again. Drawing them in your updated style or redesigning them usually helps. 
But of you’re set on making new characters, one thing you could try is drawing simple characters. Simple shapes, colors, clothes, hair, everything. Trying to draw a relatively complicated character from scratch without the passion to back you up can feel like a chore. Try to make the character really easy to draw, so you don’t feel like you’re wasting time or like your doing a chore while drawing them. And if you end up scrapping the character for one reason or another, because of its simplicity, it won’t really feel like much of a loss. 
Now if you want to make something more elaborate but don’t have the passion, making fan characters is a good way to do it. Because you’ll have other characters in the series for reference on what your character can look like. Like Steven Universe Gems and FNAF animatronics for example. Also sometimes you can find some character generators and just digitally stich your character together. It takes little effort and there’s a decent chance if you draw the character in your style you’ll get attached to them. I’m not embarrassed to admit that I will make sonic characters a generator when my passion is lacking and end up getting attached to them. 
Now another thing that you could try is making your own passion through basing your character off of something that you are attached to in real life. A good example is my Transformer OCs. How I believe I’ve stuck with them is the layer of reality that these characters have. Them being based off of cars that I can physically touch and have a sentimental connection to, helps me stay attached to them and makes me want to draw them more.
Lets say you have a dog, or a cat, or a car or something you’re sentimentally connected to right? You could draw them as character, human, humanoid or other. That could really help you not only find the energy draw them, but keep the love you have for them in place.
However.. Lets say that none of this works. And no matter what you do, the passion just isn’t coming back. Then maybe the thing that you need is not tips and tricks, but maybe you just need a break. The idea to make Transformers out my family cars has always been in the back of my head, but I never had enough motivation or passion to try it for the longest time. Well, after taking a weekend vacation to the beach, I was very refreshed. After a little encouragement from my family, I got to work. and made all 16 of them back to back in about 2 days or so, and then I drew them all again in digital to color them.
So, if none of this works, I think you just need a few days of fresh air to let that passion kind of.. regenerate itself? Just give your mind some time to rest? I know that is hard to do in this particular time in 2020 but.. anything from just time away from your computer/sketch book to watch TV or play games for a few days could be just what you need.. At least.. that’s how it worked for me.
I hope that at least one of these things works out for you, I wish you the best.

Part I : Redirection and Centering
Ola! I’m having an emotional breakdown right now so I decided to create a new blog and write my feelings out. But because I’m a control freak, I want to start from the beginning. Hence, this is the part I of my self-discovery journey. 
Last February 2021, I realized that I have been keeping so many hard feelings and negative energy in my mind and heart. So, I decided to take a little break from the social media blackhole and take time to digest everything I have bottled up from the past year. 
2020 have not been great at all to everyone. The virus caused the end of lives or the disruption of lives. Add to that the PH government’s way of handling the “unseen monster”. Definitely, it was not a good year. Aside from the chaotic world I live in, my little bubble of world was not also a good place for me. 
I have been struggling a lot last year because of my personal life too. Work, my family being affected by the virus, the boredom that sucks the life out of you from the lockdown, homesick, and of course the number one enemy of my peace of mind, my ex-boyfriend. 
I just want to say for you to imagine how I felt during that time- I was so stressful, tired, desperate, and unsettled because of work, family, and self-issues. On top of that, the person I expect that will comfort me only gives me reason to overthink, be paranoid, and insecure. 
I really hope you know now how he made me feel last year. 
Anyway, after months of feeling trapped (mentally and emotionally only caused my sister took very good care of me during lockdown)  I was able to get home and be at my place of solace. However, of course, my ex-boyfriend was not yet done giving me headaches, doubts, and pain! 
I won’t tell the stories of how he made me feel that way. Just know that there was never a big event that caused me to feel so deep in my sorrows. It was the little things he did that made me feel lonely, misunderstood, insecure, jealous, ashamed, and all of the negative words you can imagine. 
I know in my mind I want to break up with him, I did! but I always end up giving him another chance..s. I don’t know why? Maybe it is just the way I love someone. All out. Even if I don’t get to be treated the way I deserve. 
Fast forward to January 2021, I knew in my gut there is no way he could be any better or even nicer to me. I found that hidden courage to tell him, stop I dont want you anymore. Maybe in times of desperation you will also get to see the door leading the way out. 
Even at the very end of ends, I still gave him two chances to somehow do something for me, for us. Cause I know I should be fought for.. But he didnt. In the end, I concluded, some guys will always be that. Just a guy. 
Weeks after break-up I decided to leave the social media and focus on myself. I wrote lot of things; what my heart feels and what my mind thinks. I even bought a self-love book to help me move forward. I worked out. I talked to other people. I re-watched my favorite series. I did everything I can possibly think of! 
Weeks after my “social media detox”, I was bored because of this lockdown and all, I cant do much at home. I decided to peek at my social media and felt somehow happy that I am not urged to post anything. Just visiting my feed is enough. I still dont talk to my old friends cause I feel that it could just exhaust me. And telling my story would mean reliving it and at that time I am not ready for it. 
A month past by, I think. Somehow my true friends reached out to me already. Little by little, I was able to let my anger out. Actually, I was not sure when my hard feelings turned into solid anger already. It’s just one day, I was so angry and frustrated about what happened between me and my ex. 
Maybe I was angry because he did not even exert a single effort just to fought for me. It says a lot about how he values me. Also, because I let him treated me the way I shouldn't be treated for a year! Aaaand, I was mad because one of my friends said something off when I was ranting about my ex-boyfriend and they seem to have that unspeakable attraction to each other. 
In summary, I was mad to the world and to myself. 
My ex after a month messaged me if he could talk to me and I said not now maybe after some time. Coincidentally, another ECQ happened so we really had to wait. Oh no, he ditched me this one day before ECQ we were supposed to meet. LOL 
Anyway, when the lockdown was lifted I messaged him if he would still like to meet. And boy, he said. No, he doesnt see the reason to meet anymore and that he is ok already slowly getting there to be happy. 
Bitch... I was dumbfounded. He was the one crying about one last talk, I invested energy and time for that “final talk” then he would ditch me, again? Again, the same realization. Guys will be guys. 
It was the time when I realized, after months of redirection, I was not really able to let go of my anger towards him. I spent nights after receiving that texts, awake in my bed, full of anger and frustration about this guy. I cant fall asleep just because I am mad. Can you imagine that? 
I found myself, redirecting myself.. again.. because of this stupid guy. Somehow, day by day, I realized... I am beyond tired and drained about this guy. I cannot let myself be stuck in time and baby this anger within me. If I allow myself to hold on to that anger just because I want him to know that I am angry, then I will let myself lose this stupid battle. 
So, once again I breathe out this negative energy. I told myself, fine starting tonight I am not angry anymore. It is what it is. I let those things happened, I cant do much about it right now. I should just accept it, let go, and move on.  I never expected we would talk about this closure for days. Last night, he said to me I should think what I want and if I want to meet up with him he would gladly do so just to finish in a clean slate. 
HUH? Why am I be the one to think about that when he was the one who called quits? WHAT A STUPID MAN HE IS. Then..... I did something stupid. I looked at my friend’s instagram account. Cause one more thing that I am mad about him is that he always consciously do these things that he know would make me jealous. I saw that he liked my “best friend”’s post even if we were broken up already and shit. Then there was it again.. I AM LOST AND INSECURE. AGAIN.. BECAUSE OF HIM.

Discord Thread || Alison and Landon
Discord thread featuring: Landon & @alison-haynes
Mentions: @aaronhart93 @luca-regio @lorencourtier @theharrykingston @romanbeckett
When: 27th July
Description: Landon visits Alison to catch up and ends up being told some news. 
Trigger Warnings: angst 
Alison.
Alison didn't know what was going on in her life anymore. She had just texted Aaron, and the conversation hadn't gone well. Alison's eyes were red and puffy, and she had two suitcases by the door. Alison wasn't feeling great, it had become her normal state lately. The morning sickness was awful, but part of her felt as though -- it wasn't just morning sickness. It was sickness from all that was happening around her. Alison had every intention on driving back to Rhode Island. Everything was more peaceful there, and she could stay on her house on the beach, watching the ocean waves crash to shore. Right now, she needed to be somewhere where she could think. Think about her and Luca, her and Aaron, but most importantly, where she could protect her baby. Stressing out wasn't great for the baby, and being around either of those guys were not helping it. Alison left her penthouse, and made her way down to the lobby of her secure building, and headed towards the door that led to the garage where she stored her car -- that she barely ever used. But then she spotted, Landon talking to the building monitor. Part of her said to run, the other part of her knew she couldn't. So she went over, and let the building monitor know it was fine for him to come in. "What are you doing here?" She asked him, leaning on her suitcase slightly, and hoping that he didn't bring up how crappy she looked.
LANDON
Elle had been staying with Harry since Saturday and was set to stay with her other dad for a few more days so Landon figured it was the perfect opportunity to pay Alison a visit. They hadn’t really spoken since their conversation at the cafe where Ali had talked about her wish for another child. He wasn’t sure how helpful his advice ended up being and they were due for another catch up session. He was explaining who he was to the building monitor to be let in when he saw Alison making her way towards him with a suitcase in tow. He hadn’t known that the singer was due to leave again for work so soon and he was even more confused when he saw her puffy eyes, almost as if she was just crying. What was going on? “Hey, thought I’d pay a visit and we can spend the evening chatting”, he explained, holding up the container with two coffee cups. “Don’t worry, it’s decaf. I don’t want to make it impossible for us to sleep tonight.”
Alison.
Alison was crazy busy as it was right now, this pregnancy couldn't have come at a worse time. With the album set to release soon, it was like Alison's mind was on overload. She needed peace and quiet, and the only way she would get that would to really not be around anyone. Of course, the blonde would be around her young daughter, and who she needed to be around for work, but other than that, Alison didn't want to see many people. But, Landon -- she hadn't seen him in far too long. Things had been crazy in her life, and she hadn't reached out much, which she felt awful about. And honestly -- it was nice to see someone else other than Aaron & Luca. Alison smiled sadly, "Yeah - uh, I was heading out, but I can stay for another couple hours. I mean -- you brought coffee, so how can I say no?" She grabbed her suit case and dragged it towards the elevator, "How've you been?"28 July 2020
LANDON
“I don’t want to make you late for wherever you’re going though. We can do this another time if you want”, he offered but Alison was already making her way towards the elevator so he quickly followed her. Landon could tell that something wasn’t right but he wasn’t sure how to bring it up without being rude. Alison looked sad and he was getting the impression that she’d been crying but he couldn’t just say that. “I’ve been okay, getting a little break which I feel was well-deserved which I like.” As soon as they got off the elevator and to her penthouse, Landon sat down and handed one of the coffee cups to her. “Are you okay?”
Alison.
“Don’t worry, you won’t make me late. I don’t actually have to be anywhere until tomorrow.” She mused. When they got up to her penthouse, she left her suitcase near the door. Alison took a sip of coffee, but the second he asked if she was okay, tears came to her eyes. She hated how emotional she had been this week. She hadn’t been planning on telling anyone else she was pregnant. Not until she was through her first trimester, but now she felt like she might not have a choice. Alison let out a shaky breath, “No. I’m not okay.” She admitted. “But if I tell you why—you cant say anything. To anyone.”
LANDON
Even though Landon could tell from his friend’s behaviour that something was wrong, he still wasn’t expecting her to start crying. Whatever this is must be worse than he thought if it had Alison reacting like this. “I promise, it’ll stay between us”, and Alison should know by now that he wasn’t one to break his promises. He just hoped it was something he could help with and that it wasn’t actually as bad as it sounded.
Alison.
Alison took a seat on her couch, letting out a huge breath, to try and calm herself down. She hadn’t been planning on telling anyone else for a while, but truthfully she needed to talk to anyone who wasn’t Luca or Aaron. “I’m—Im pregnant Landon.” She said, “And I — I don’t know what’s going to happen. I don’t know—“ she cried
LANDON
Landon wasn’t sure what he was expecting but it definitely wasn’t this. The last time they talked he did suggest she could try for a baby with her new boyfriend but her reaction gave him the impression that it wasn’t something she could really consider. And yet here they were. Landon knew it couldn’t be Aaron’s as his best friend told him he said no so it made sense for him to assume it was her boyfriend’s. “Oh wow, congratulations!” he said once he wrapped his head around it, even though Alison wasn’t looking very happy right now. “Is that...I mean do you not want to be? Because I thought another kid was what you really wanted. You know, a little sibling for Des.” He got up and sat down next to her, wrapping an arm around her when he saw her crying. “Hey, hey, it’s going to be okay.”
Alison.
Alison hadn’t been thinking about having a child with Luca. It was still early on in their relationship, and Alison had wanted to focus on the relationship before focusing on a child. Alison wasn’t upset that she was pregnant, she did want another child. “No,” she sniffled, “I am thrilled to be having another baby, a little sibling for Dessy.” Which was true, she wasn’t upset with the child, she already loved that baby just as much as she loved Des, she was upset with the other adults around her. “But, I feel like I’m in the middle of a war zone with Aaron and Luca.” She said, leaning onto Landon as the tears continued to spill over her eyelids.
LANDON
Landon didn’t know much about Alison’s boyfriend, he barely even knew his name. All he knew was that their relationship was quite new and that this was her first serious relationship. He did remember her telling him that she hadn’t even slept with anyone after Aaron. That was all he knew so he was surprised to hear that apparently him and Aaron weren’t getting on so well. “Oh, so I take it they don’t like each other then?” Landon knew first hand how protective Aaron could get of the people he cared about if he didn’t like someone they were around with. So if his best friend didn’t like Alison’s boyfriend, it was bound to cause problems. “What happened?”
Alison.
Alison wasn’t sure where to even start with it. She could right out tell Landon that Luca had gone to prison and that was why Aaron disliked her boyfriend so much, but when she told Aaron Luca had been upset she shared his business. So now, she had to pick her words carefully. Alison took a deep breath, “I’m pretty sure they hate each other. Neither of them have said those words, but I can feel it.” Alison sat back up, turning to look at Landon. “Let’s just say Luca has some stuff in his past that Aaron isn’t a fan of. But —it’s his past. And he’s not looking at his past, he’s looking at his future.” Alison has a few tears slip from her eye, “I told Aaron we need to take a break. Him and I. Was that wrong of me?”
LANDON
Landon could imagine that being in a situation where your boyfriend hates the father of your child was complicated. He didn’t even want to think about what he would do if he was seeing someone and Harry hated them. Throw another baby into the mix and it was a recipe for disaster. He was quiet for a bit, thinking over his words. It was a delicate situation and he couldn’t just blurt the first thing that came to mind. It was important to thread carefully. “I’m not saying it was wrong of you. Obviously I don’t know what Aaron said and I don’t know what Luca did so I can’t comment much about the situation. I just feel like it’s a little hard to take a break from your child’s father, you know what I mean?”
Alison.
Alison took a deep breath, there was nothing easy about this situation. Alison loves Aaron, and anyone who knew the pair knew that they had a different kind of love for each other that could never be broken. Alison also loved Luca, and she was currently carrying his baby. The whole thing was complicated. “I wouldn’t take a break from him when it comes to anything regarding Dessy. More of our friendship.” She sighed, “Luca and I have been fighting a lot. But whenever we fight it is always about Aaron. And between both of them — I’m stressed out and I know it’s not good for the baby.”
LANDON
Landon knew that there was a lot about the situation that he didn’t know and so had to be careful what to say but at the same Aaron was his best friend. They were only now getting out of a rough patch after what happened with Roman but still, he didn’t know Luca at all. So it wasn’t surprising that he’d be taking Aaron’s side while at the same time knowing not to ignore Alison’s concerns. “You guys have been friends for so long...the fights with Luca must have been pretty big for you to decide to take a break”, he said. “What were the arguments concerning Aaron about though? Because I know Aaron pretty well and I don’t think he would hate someone like that for 
Alison.
The blonde hated upsetting anyone. More often than not Alison went along with what others said because she didn’t want to upset anyone. So this situation was really taking a toll on her. She looked to Landon, “Well, Luca didn’t want me to tell Aaron about the pregnancy yet.” She mentioned, “But I felt as though I had to tell Aaron? I mean this baby is going to be Des’ sibling. He deserved to know.” That was one thing she knew she had been right about in this whole situation. “And Luca is mad at me for telling him. And well— Aaron left when I was telling him. I didn’t expect him to be thrilled about the baby, but — I needed him- and he just left me.” She said, rubbing her head at the thoughts that kept running through her head. “And I needed someone to talk too, and well I talked to Luca because until now— him and Aaron were the only person eho knew about the baby. And Luca isn’t making me feel great about my friendship with Aaron. I don’t know— I need to respect both of them. And I’m at the point where I just don’t know what else to do.”
LANDON
It seemed like both guys needed to get their heads out of their asses for long enough to realise that they were upsetting the person they were so adamant they cared about. “You did the right thing telling Aaron about the pregnancy.” That was the one thing he felt he could safely comment on whatever the situation was. “Aaron isn’t just a friend, he’s your daughter’s father. If Harry was going to have a child I would want to be one of the first to know because it’s something that would affect Elle and as her father I deserve to know so I can prepare for that change.” Landon tried to ignore how sad the idea of his ex-husband having children with anyone else made him feel. “And yeah, I can see why you would be upset with Aaron. That’s a pretty shitty move.” He wished his best friend was in front of him right now so he could give him a good shake because what the fuck. “As for Luca...I don’t know him so I feel like I can’t really talk about him much but making you feel bad about your friendship with Aaron is not okay. You’re raising a daughter together and you’re lucky enough to be on good terms even if you’re not together. Destiny is getting the best upbringing because of that so I can’t see how you two being friends can be so bad.” Landon really thought about the situation Alison found herself in and really started to understand her reasoning behind needing a break. “It kind of feels like you need a break from both of them right now.”
Alison.
Right now, all Alison cared about doing was protecting the child that was growing inside of her. She knew being constantly stressed out while pregnant, wasn’t good for the baby and she just wanted to focus on what would be the best for the baby. And right now, she didn’t feel like Aaron or Luca was helping her with that. “I went against what my boyfriend asked of me. Because Aaron was the only person I wanted to tell. Because he’s always been my person, and then he just left me there, in tears. After I asked him to not leave.” She said. That had stung, to watch Aaron wall out the doors of his penthouse. “I love Des. And I love Aaron, and their both my family. I don’t think Luca understands that Aaron is my family. He isn’t just some friend.” Alison said, “I was gonna just get away from New York for a while. Probably go stay in my house in Rhode Island for a bit. I need somewhere to just clear my head and be stress free, even if it’s just for a couple of days.”
LANDON
In a way, Landon could understand why Luca was upset. Alison went against what her boyfriend asked of her but it’s not like she did it to hurt him. Anyone who knew Alison also knew how important Aaron was to her. Those two with Des were a family, even though they were never together romantically. There was still a bond between them and Luca should have known better than to underestimate it. Although both Aaron and Luca were unfair to her for putting the pressure of their dislike for each other on her. Especially since she was pregnant and they should have been helping her avoid stressful situations not cause more. “I think the both of them need some time to cool down and to understand that this isn’t about them. You’re going to have a baby so you need their support not their judgement and pointless arguing.” And Aaron was going to have some groveling to do to get back into Alison’s good books after his behaviour towards her. “That sounds like a nice plan. Although if you ever need a familiar face around, you know the spare bedroom at my house is always available for you”, he offered.
Alison.
Alison wanted to do right by both Luca and Aaron. But I’m this situation, it felt like it was impossible to do just that.  Both men were now part of her family. No matter what happened in the future, Luca & Aaron both would be a father to one of her children. “And Luca basically told me that he wants to move in together before the baby is born. So there is also that.” Alison wasn’t sure why she had said those words, but she felt like she wanted to lay everything out. Talking about it was making her feel better, just a bit. “That’s how I feel. I just want to not stress myself out or the baby. So I need them to stop stressing me out.” Alison felt like her life was spinning and she couldn’t stop it. “Thank you, Landon. I’m just gonna go to Rhode Island. I mean I just want to sit on the beach, and sink my feet in the sand. But when I do come back, I will keep that in mind.”
LANDON
“Do you want to move in together?” Landon was worried about Alison. He couldn’t help but worry that the two were going to be moving too fast because of the upcoming baby and the last thing he wanted was to see a close friend getting hurt. “Because you shouldn’t move in with him until it’s what you really want to do and you’re a 100% sure. Baby or no baby, it should be your decision.” In reality, Landon thought then not stressing her out was easier said then done. Just because she left to Rhode Island for a few days didn’t mean Alison wasn’t still going to be thinking about them and about the situation. He didn’t want to upset her even more though so Landon just nodded. “Sounds like you have it all planned out already. I really hope you’ll get to relax, at least a little.”
Alison.
“Honestly, I don’t know what I want. Everything is changing so quickly. You know Luca hasn’t even met Des yet? I’m going to have a kid with him, and he hasn’t even met my daughter. How am I expected to just move in with him?” Alison loved Luca, and she would love to live with him, but there was still too much to figure out about him before they made that decision. And the fighting, she couldn’t live with him if they were going to keep arguing, especially about Aaron. As Aaron was destiny’s father. “I mean, I still have a lot to do for work. But I just think it’ll be good to be away from the mess that is here. I love them both, but I can’t be around them right now.”
LANDON
Alison was right. Moving in with someone who hadn’t even met her daughter didn’t sound like the greatest idea. And while living separately with a baby wasn’t ideal, it could still be done. It’s what Aaron and Alison had done for all these years after all. Living with someone just for the baby was dangerous and could end in disaster. “That’s understandable. They both did something that hurt you and it’s completely understandable that you would need a break from the both of them. It could help you figure some things out.”
Alison.
Alison didn’t want to just make impulsive decisions. She knew if she made the decision this early on in the pregnancy, it would be impulse. She hoped it would be easier to make that decision later on into the pregnancy. But right now, it was too much on the blonde. Everything was too much at the moment, “That’s what I need to do. I can’t just keep doing this constant fighting with them both.” She said with a sigh, then looked at Landon, “I’m sorry, you didn’t come over here to listen to all my problems.”
LANDON
Landon wouldn’t want to be constantly stuck between two people he cared about fighting either. “Hey, don’t apologise. I came here to catch up and that’s what we’re doing. Besides, what are friends for if not to listen to each other’s problems?” he teased, trying to at least get a smile on her face. Landon picked up his coffee cup again and took a sip.
Alison.
Alison knew Landon was right. That was what friends were for, and honestly it had been nice to talk about it to someone. “Thank you Landon. It means a lot. I haven’t had anyone to talk too about all this.” She said, reaching out for her coffee cup. “Is there anything new in your life?”
LANDON
“I can imagine but now that I know what’s going on you can talk to me about it anytime. Even while you’re away, just text me. I tend to be up at all hours of the night so don’t worry about the time”, he reassured. Landon was about to say that there wasn’t really anything new in his life when he remembered that there was something quite different the last time they got to talk. “Well, you probably know this already but I’m back to being single and ready to mingle.” He tried to put it off jokingly so as to not make it too obvious that he’d been pretty broken up about it.
Alison.
"Thank you, Landon. It means a lot really. It feels nice to get it off my chest," She admitted. Alison was planning on running to Rhode Island, and sitting on the beach, with everything pent up inside, but having told Landon, did make her feel better than she had an hour prior. She had really just needed some reassurance on the situation. Her eyes raised an eyebrow, "What happened with you two?" She questioned, not meaning to push, but she was curious.
LANDON
Landon was glad that he got to help a friend out and lend an ear, especially since Alison looked like she really needed someone to talk to. He wasn’t sure how to explain the situation with Loren, mostly because he didn’t understand it himself. He still wasn’t sure how they went from dating, to being broken up, then deciding to give them another try and...back to being broken up. All in the matter of weeks. And now his ex and Jace apparently even adopted a puppy so it was serious. “I honestly don’t know. Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t me trying to get out of talking about it but I’m not sure how we ended up here. We’re through though, that’s for sure.”
Alison.
It was nice to talk to Landon, even if she hadn't been planning on letting him in on her secret yet. It was supposed to be just family, but it was important that she had someone to talk too. But now, it was time to find out about Landon's life. She tilted her head, "Huh. Are you okay?" She questioned. She knew sometimes relationships just ended, but Landon looked as though he was doing well with it.
LANDON
Landon shrugged, unsure of how he should answer. He was still hurt over how things had ended between them but if this was the way things were supposed to be like then he was glad it ended when it did. At least he was spared from being hurt even more. “I am. I guess I still miss him sometimes but at least I’m at a point where I can safely say I’m better off this way.”
Alison.
Alison reached over, setting a hand on his shoulder. "It's better that it happened now instead of later, just have to remember that." Alison wasn't great at giving relationship advice, because well, she hadn't been in all that many relationships, and those she had been in, didn't work out. The one great one she was in, was falling apart currently. But, she would still make sure her friend was okay
LANDON
Landon smiled and nodded, agreeing with his friend. It still sucked that it had to happen but at least it all came to a head before he could introduce Loren to Elle. At least he didn't have to feel guilty about that. He drank the last of his coffee and got up. "I don't want to keep you from your trip to Rhodes Island, I know you must be on edge to get there. Just...text me if you need anything, okay? And don't be a stranger."
Alison.
Alison got up, giving Landon a soft smile. "Thanks, Landon. It was really nice to talk. I needed it." She admitted, as she strolled over to where her suitcases were. "And if you need anything, you can text me as well. Okay?" Alison said, leading him down to the lobby of the building. "I'll see you soon!"
