Simon's Month - (Cat)Fish
day 19!! @youngroyals-events
Simon tries to convince a man on a dating app that, yes, that is his actual face in those pictures.
read below or on ao3 (T, 500)
You got a match! 
Wille liked your photo!
Wille sent a message!
_____________________
Wille: If you’re gonna use fake pictures you might as well make them believable…
Simon: im sorry what?
W: I’m just saying, it’s pretty obvious you’re a catfish. Those pictures are not real.
S: um yes they are? that's literally my face
W: Nice try! No one actually looks like that. Way too perfect.
S: is this some kind of weird pickup line because im not sure you’re executing it properly
W: No? What do you mean? Clearly those are photoshopped or something. Who has skin that smooth looking? Or eyes that beautiful shade of brown?
S: literally i do
W: Seriously, where did you find these? Did you edit them yourself?
S: did you get dropped on your head as a child or something
W: … I mean, probably. But that doesn’t matter here. I know an edit when I see one.
S: clearly you dont because that is my face thank you for the compliment, i guess???
W: You’re welcome for complimenting your editing skills. But I still don’t believe you.
S: ok now im convinced this is some weird plot toget me to send like nudes or something
W: Oh my gosh, no! I’m not even on here for that! I’m too much of a romantic for hook-ups. We’d have to go on at least a few dates first.  And I would only ever ask if I knew you wanted to.  To send pictures.  Naked ones. And only you felt safe doing so. But I think in person is better anyway.
S: okay…
W: Sorry if that was weird. I keep staring at the pictures and they’re making it hard for my brain to work.
S: hard huh?
W: Ha. Ha.
S: i guess that’s kinda sweet i’m not much into hook-ups either
W: Oh. That's cool. But, seriously, where did you find these pictures?
S: i remind you. that is me im starting to question your sanity Wille
W: Sure, Simon. You just walk around like that all day and somehow you’re still single and on a dating app. Sure, very believable, *catfish*! 
S: omfg i do have pet fish but im not a catfish you're one to talk no ones hair is that color also there is no way u have a perfect little freckle on ur top lip or do you put that there with makeup
W: What?? Me?? No, it’s not makeup! I am just Swedish! I get freckles in the sun!
S: suuuure
W: Don’t turn this around on me, Simon.  Except, wait, do you really have pet fish?
S: yes, i do
W: Can I see them? 
S: [Image attached]
W: Beautiful!  What are their names? 
S: idk if i can trust you with their names you think i’m a liar
W: :( Simon
S: :( Wille
W:
You can trust me.  It’s justified, I think, that I don’t believe you.
S: [Image attached] literally me [Image attached] me with fish for proof i cant believe your awful rizz is working on me … Wille? here i’ll write out a little note for you so you know its actually me [Image attached]
W: ‘.,;-=p./ ?um I-m her e SOrry I was.. You are real? 
S: lol i am real
W: When are you free?
S: huh?
W: I would like to take you on a date, Simon To apologize for calling you a catfish But also because you are funny and pretty, and I need to see you in person just to be totally sure that you’re actually real. 
S: hm i guess i’d be okay with that i wanna know what that freckle on your lip tastes like
W: asdnasfwaogjfan
S: their names are oski, olle, and felle, btw are you free tonight?

YOUNG ROYALS SEASON 2 SPOILERS AHEAD, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
Here we go, part 2 of my mess of thoughts while watching young royals
Hot take: Simon and Marcus aren't that bad tgt, but Simon's heart isn't entirely into it so it's never going to work out. I just hope Simon is direct with him now before shit goes down with Wille again
SIMON THROWING THE DODGEBALL AT WILLE 😭 that was personal 💀
Ahhh I get why Simon is mad, but Wille does have more to consider when it comes to big decisions 😭 I feel so bad for him
YES YES YES FELICE AND WILLE MAKING UP, WILLE APOLOGISING FOR KISSING HER LIKE THAT, FELICE BEING SO UNDERSTANDING AHHHHH I LOVE THEM
No honestly? Any doubt I had abt Felice back in season one? Squashed, killed, crushed underneath the sole of my foot. Absolute top tier character I love her to bits
"it hurts so much. I feel like I'm gonna die" STOP PLS MY POOR WILLE JUST SHATTERING MY HEART WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER
THE LOVE LETTER TO FREDRIKA, IT HAS TO BE FROM STELLA RIGHT? SHES LOOKING AT HER LIKE THAT THERE'S NO WAY IT'S NOT FROM STELLA
WILLE IN TEARS WHILE PUTTING ON HIS MAKEUP PLS 😭😭 SOMEONE PROTECT HIM PLS STOP HURTING HIM
MORE FREDRIKA AND STELLA MOMENTS IM CALLING IT RN THEY'RE A THING
Ok, not them making me feel bad for August??? He set up a whole romantic thing for Sara and she bails? Yikes
Marcus showing up for Simon? Aww
But Simon not telling him the names of his fishes bcs they remind him of Wille :(
I FUCKING KNEW IT, STELLA AND FREDRIKA AHHHHHHHH I AM HERE FOR IT 🏳️‍🌈
FUCK YES THEY FINALLY KISSED!!! BUT SIMON IS STILL WITH MARCUS?? ITS MORE COMPLICATED NOW 😭 Lowkey feeling bad for Marcus man he does seem to like Simon a lot
Simon singing to Wille 😭 y'all I'm in my feels rn
WILLE WAS SO HAPPY AFTER THE KISS AWWW <3
NOOO SIMON CALLED THE KISS A MISTAKE
OK, ITS HAPPENING, WILLE TOLD SIMON THAT AUGUST POSTED THE VIDEO
Ughh this whole music room fight, I hate that I understand both sides and it's just a whole djoajdkskfkwjdjxn
Wille going to Simon's house to talk to him 😭 AND IMPLYING THAT HE'D ABDICATE FOR HIM
That phone call, August was tryna buy Rosseaou for Sara right? That's kinda sweet actually
WILLE THROWING UP AHHHH
THEY CLOSED THE CURTAINS, I REPEAT, THEY CLOSED THE CURTAINS
Okok, I rlly do feel bad for Marcus. I mean, he was harsh and Simon is not wrong in saying he did tell him that he didn't want anyth serious, but I do understand his anger and it makes me feel bad for him, bcs I do think he did like Simon a lot
OK, ANYTH I SAID ABOUT FEELING BAD FOR AUGUST? KILLED, CRUSHED, COMPLETELY DEAD. HOW FUCKING DARE HE
Ok, it doesn't erase that I did feel bad for him when he went thru shit but my rage at him for blackmailing Wille is overpowering any sympathy I feel for the guy

steve harrington with a golden retriever girlfriend headcanons??
hellloooooo so. so i am not good at headcanons but i did write a little scenario because the idea is so cute love u <3 golden retriever gf x completely in love steve 0.8k
"Steve!" you exclaim, bursting into the shop with a huge smile on your face. 
You stride fast between shop patrons to where he's sorting through returned tapes. He stands up knowing what you're wanting and feels only mildly winded when you leap up into his arms, hands steadfast around his neck as he bends under your weight. 
He gives you a good squeeze, always happy to see you. 
"You're never gonna guess what I got," you say into his neck before pulling back and dropping onto your own two feet again. 
"What'd you get, doll?" 
You dig into your purse and pull out a box of Swedish fish, brandishing them like they're made from gold. "For you," you say, passing him the box offhandedly. You skirt around him to where Robin is sitting behind the counter on a stool. "And for you, my favourite Family Video employee."
You pass her a pack of twizzlers. She grins. "Thanks, Y/N." 
"You're welcome. You know, I saw, like, a huge ant hill outside, they were climbing up my socks by the time I remembered they could climb. And- Steve, what are you doing?" 
Steve rolls his eyes and guides you back, hands on your hips and lifting. You get the picture and kick off the ground, sitting on the counter with your legs swinging. 
He catches your foot in his hand and sure enough finds you've still got at least a hand's count of ants on your shoe and sock. He wrinkles his nose. "Baby." 
"I thought my socks were itchy." 
He starts pulling ants off of your sock, enamoured and exhausted with you. You quickly forget what he's doing, leaning backwards to talk to Robin with your head upside down. 
"How's it going?" 
"Slow day, slow Steve. Same as usual," she says. 
You lean a little too far and would've likely tipped off or almost when Steve grabs your thigh and holds you down. 
"Slow Steve," you giggle. 
He shakes an ant gently off of his hand and onto the floor. "Nice, babe." 
"Steve, don't, they're gonna get crushed," you say, having sat up to watch his process. 
"They're gonna bite you. Doesn't it freak you out, bugs all over you?" 
"Not really." 
Steve huffs. "Typical," he says under his breath, continuing to steal ants off of your sock. You get distracted by the radio, humming along and then quietly singing to the cheerful pop tune. 
Steve looks up at you from the ground, your carefree smile, so pretty and so charming, bubbly and beautiful. He gets distracted, watching as you karaoke the rest of the song like a lovesick fool.
When he looks down most of the ants, maybe five or six, have crawled into his arm hair. He shakes his arm hard and shivers as they fall away, jumping up onto his feet and brushing himself down, phantom ants crawling all over him. 
You beckon him forward worriedly. "You have one-" you gesture to his face. He rushes to push between your thighs, eyes closed and face inclined to yours. 
"Get it for me," he demands. 
Your hand cradles his face. You brush your thumb over his cheek. "Huh, must've been a trick of the light," you say after a moment. You squeeze his cheek. 
He opens his eyes to glare at you, finds it softening fast at your loving smile. "You're pretty," you say. 
He throws his head back, hand waving at you. "Get outta here, Y/N." 
You beam at him and jump off of the counter. Steve winces for your poor ankles though you don't flinch, straightening up your bright outfit with a flourish of the hands. 
"How do I look? Good enough to go play a game of Dig-Dug?" you ask. 
He's genuine when he says, "You look adorable." 
Robin groans and gags and Steve doesn't care, smirking to himself as he wraps his arms around you for a goodbye hug. Always strange to find himself missing your hugs so quickly. 
You rub the side of your head against his chest and he can't help the boyish rush of heat to his cheeks when you kiss his throat. 
"You smell so good. Like lavender. Are you wearing lavender? Did you switch colognes?" 
"I did," he says. "Obsession. You picked it, babe." 
"It's good." 
You sniff him loudly. He blushes worse, looking away from you for something to save his heart from giving out. He's punished by some higher power when he meets Robin's patronising gaze, though he knows she really likes you. It's his happiness she can't abhor. 
"Okay, bye Steve," you say succinctly, giving him one last squeeze and then making quick time out of the store, leaving behind only your smell and the lingering heat of your grip. 
Oh, and the Swedish fish. And a few ants.

request: soft frankie🥺tired quiet soft frankie after a long day of work, and maybe reader taking care of his needs? just something domestic and soft for him, he deserves it and i’m feeling so sappy and soggy over him lately. i have no limits, go wild with the direction u wanna take it in
Happy Frankie Friday! Hope you like, @babydarkstar xoxo
_____
Frankie takes on a lot at work; he wants to be the best team player, putting all of his heart and talents into his current position of two years. But the stress accumulates as deadlines approach, it does take its toll.
He’s so quiet when he gets home, just giving you two or three-word responses, at most. He’s moving slowly, you know everything hurts. At a certain point, he’s working on toeing off his boots, but he grunts and a few choice words echo through the kitchen.
“Hey, let me.”
You know he doesn’t always ask for help, but thankfully he leans against the countertop, staring at the ceiling while you slip the boots off. You don’t take offense. You both know what works and what doesn’t when you’re having a hard time. Patience and communication, through words or actions, is key.
“Thanks.”
He’s trying to be upbeat, pressing a gentle kiss on your cheek when you meet his gaze. But your heart breaks because your sweet, strong, wonderful baby boy doesn’t feel his best.
Sometimes he just wants to be a couch potato, work through this little funk, and zone out. And that’s okay.
When the time is right, you offer to run him a bath. He always agrees. Turning on his favorite playlist of Fleetwood Mac, Prince, Herbie Hancock, and Tame Impala, you begin to wash his hair and massage his scalp, pressing the pads of your fingers down a little bit, so there’s good pressure. When a favorite lyric comes on, you both hum or sing. And you take the opportunity to kiss him softly.
He likes that. A lot.
Frankie starts to talk more as the water, lavender, and epsom salts do their work on his exhausted muscles. The headache is starting to fade, and you sigh when he sighs.
You leave him be, so he can get clean and finish up, to retrieve the fluffy robe you bought for him out of the dryer. You admire how he looks when he finds you, in a towel, sitting very low on his hips. Sopping wet curls almost blocking your view of his pretty brown eyes that reveal everything.
“Here you go, baby,” you hand over the robe. He nods in gratitude, shamelessly dropping the towel. He throws a wink as he slowly pulls on his boxers.
Relaxed Frankie usually turns into Flirty Frankie. Now he’s asking for kisses, mumbling I’m sorry, and thank you. Maybe even a little booty squeeze or pat when you walk by. When he wants to keep touching you, you know he’s coming around.
You set aside a cold one, mozzarella sticks, and Swedish fish on the coffee table. You always have these comfort snacks in the house. It’s something easy to pick up and munch on while he watches a few reruns.
Usually, you work on something, or read in another room. When you hear him chuckle, or even burst out laughing, you smile to yourself.
And then he calls for you. It’s not a whine so you know he’s not in pain, but the tone is definitely needy enough for you to quicken your steps.
He pats the cushion to invite you over. You grab a somewhat still warm breaded piece of cheese to have. Frankie squeezes your knee.
You ask if he’s feeling better.
His cheeks rise, and he tilts his head towards you, nudging his nose into the crook of your neck, breathing in your familiar warm floral scent, which comforts him.
“I am. Thanks, lovey.”
________
@moralesfish, @heythere-mel, @fireproofmarta, @oogaboogasphincter, @nicolethered. I don’t know who else to tag, but hopefully you’ll see it.
Have a great weekend, xoxo.

hi it’s me... clicks across the linoleum of the dash wearing high heels w a spray tan like i’m a member of jersey shore suddenly..... best summary of willa is that she got moira rose as her #1 chara on a What Character Are You Most Like personality test out of thousands of options.... says so much. u can find her pinterest here n her playlist here 😋 like this or hmu fr plots!!
* ashley moore, cis female + she/her  | you know willa deneurve, right? they’re twenty-four, and they’ve lived in irving for, like, most of her life, on and off? well, their spotify wrapped says they listened to watch me by the pom poms like, a million times this year, which makes sense ‘cause they’ve got that whole sticking gold stars over old polaroids until you can barely see faces, dressing as marie antoinette at your high school prom & delivering fake laughter to a bratz doll you’re pretending is a talkshow host thing going on. i just checked and their birthday is august 1st, so they’re a leo, which is unsurprising, all things considered. ( nai, 24, gmt, she/her )
HISTORY:
willa ws born to honestly like….. the perfect family not to honk my own tit bt……………. they were jst rly quite wholesome. her mum celeste was this larger than life person who could never b contained by the four walls of any room she was in. she hd the presence of a gold glitter chess piece on an otherwise mundane wooden board. her dad marlon used to always joke that he had absolutely NO idea how he landed her bc he was just this like. rly average guy by all accounts n purposes….. blended into the sea in high skl……. had a few close friends but was never rly Notable or made a proper impression anywhere…… he always retold it as him coasting thru life until he met her in college. kind of like he’d been half awake before. they just Clicked n no-one cld believe she’d chosen him bt she was jst. completely head over heels n didn’t care what anyone had to say bc that was That
willa always very much took after celeste…… there’s this one quote i remember reading that goes vaguely like “my mom and i would sit and listen to leonard cohen and joni mitchell lyrics together. from a young age i remember her being like "i’m playing this song and when it’s done i want u to tell me what’s happening in it” n she would give me a fake glass of wine when i was 8 and i would listen and b like. i think there was an affair.” which so much summarises their dynamic…… she ws just so like. dramatic n fun n always encouraged that in willa too. her mum was like. everything she aspired to be…… got scouted by a modelling agency in college n shot one campaign before blowing it off simply bc she was bored. starred lead in a play. spent a few weeks travelling asia selling handmade candles shaped like koi fish or curled up foxes or elegantly stretched hands. dated a parisian movie star during a break she and her father took n was featured in tabloids on his arm at the premiere. sm fun n exotic stories willa literally cldn’t get enough. whenever she’d tell them to willa as a kid her dad wld roll his eyes like ohhhhh here she goes again but it’d all b playful n he’d smile bc he honestly cldn’t get enough either. the stuff dreams are made of luv (lizzie mcguire stans rise)
(car accident & death tw) so u know when ur walking down a flight of stairs n then out of nowhere u miss a step n u get that lurch in ur stomach like ur in free fall? yeah. i won’t go into it too much but one night they were driving back from getting frozen yogurt and then suddenly they weren’t. she doesn’t rly remember much about it except for completely ignoring the doctors trying to give her the news and just saying “dad chose pecan. who chooses pecan?” n repeating that over n over n over until it didn’t rly register in her ears as english any more.
willa was uprooted from irving at 11 to go n live w her aunt in NY. this was like. a huge adjustment honestly….. her aunt blanche hd always been a little unconventional bt extremely glamorous. she lived in an old defunct theatre she’d bought out n came from a lot of money. willa’s mum’s side of the family hd always been well off bt celeste opted to live a little more Ordinarily shall we say after settling whereas blanche ws jst balls to the walls dripping w eccentric excess…. wld say she was never naked bc she ws always wearing black opium by yves saint laurent…… probably the living embodiment of la vie boheme….. she’d been admitted a yr early to a rly prestigious parisian design school n is an AMAZING seamstress. a corset she stitched a broadway star into got commissioned fr an actress’ red carpet walk at an indie film festival. rly just lived such a life rich w lots of stories n lots of talent too…… had that star quality essence tht her mum had n that was smthn willa found quite comforting everything considered.
(grief tw) u would think maybe a situation like this (one involving so much sudden change) wld cause a kid of tht age to withdraw into her shell bt willa only came out of her shell MORE. she coped w her situation by spinning it into a celebrity origin story inside her head. the tear jerker tale someone tells during their x factor audition to get the judges rooting for them. mentally streamlining things. repackaging all that hurt as a surefire ticket to success bc it had to be useful for something right? there had to b a point to it right? willa decided the point was she’s a star. KFHSGKFHGFKHGKJSFHG. get it girl….. she ws literally just like ok well clearly i’m destined to be famous n i’m the main character of this story. this story called earth. it’s all about me.
rly heavily immersed herself in her high skl theatre scene……. loved experimenting w fashion n literally wore the most outlandish things like. she treated the hallways like her milan f/w debut every new school yr…… a lot of the things she wore were actual like. costumes frm her aunt’s collection…… she has a multi-story closet u have to climb ladders to reach things in like a very rustic library…. it rly wasn’t uncommon for willa to turn up one day corsetted like a pirate with billowing sleeves or sporting the baby blue gingham of a swedish milk maid. it’s like she literally jst…… became a role. always. every day. the world ws her stage. the cameras were always rolling. her aunt only encouraged this tbh n honestly? icon. we love to see it. willa partied a bunch n rly lived a lax lifestyle where responsibility was concerned…. her aunt ws her best friend…… made rly gd friends with performers in the drag club scene n loved the glitz of that….. lots of wild nights turned grossly bright mornings
snagged an agent fresh into her first yr of college (she gt accepted to a pretty competitive theatre program at [redacted] in NY bc i haven’t looked into what that wld be yet <3 i’m merely a helpless british lass <3) n booked a few commercials n things….. when i say willa wld enter audition rooms like she owned the place i’m rly not exaggerating…. once she turned up to a casting call for MEN n just walked right to the front of the line scraping a random chair along the way n then took a seat w her legs crossed popping a bubble in her gum as they all glared at her like wtf is literally going on who are u. she received several complaints n she was just like “ur all acting so jealous of me….”
i feel like she got a pretty big role in a theatre production in her last yr at school. haven’t decided what yet. maybe smthn rocky horror or even mimi in rent. this was meant to b some like huge moment for willa like yes girl finally making it ur on ur way this is what u wanted n she WAS happy abt it but once it was wrapped she jst had this strange like Huh feeling in her chest……. n a la celeste w all her exciting stories was just like well i’ve done that so what’s next? i think she’d graduate n then jst suddenly decide to move to irving in a fit of impulse. to all her college friends she’d be like “ugh a beach retreat is so necessary honestly the city is sooooooooo toxic this place cld literally enlarge my pores if i wasn’t so rigorous with my skincare routine” bt like 🤔 what u seeking girl? results pending.
SO basically i feel like she finally moved back to irving little over a yr ago. she hd a brief stint starring on a reality tv show tht filmed in one of the larger beach houses where her dog gained a handful of fan accounts dedicated to him……. u maybe will see why in the first bullet point of her personality section………… FKGHKSHFGGKFSHKHG. honestly she ws received pretty well too (mostly bc she’s so fking dramatic n like a caricature of a person) bt it wasn’t anything to warrant actual Fame (despite what willa herself might think). she’s mostly jst like. chilling honestly. accepting scripts n flying out fr auditions still. she’ll nab the occasional part bt she’s looking for that One Thing that rly feels like her big moment….. otherwise i cn just imagine her treating irving like a little dollhouse compared to the roaring mansion of NYC n having fun playing around in it. strikes a pose w a hand on my hip…. and now to personality.
PERSONALITY:
got a very large n lithe greyhound n named him marlene dietrich bc she was a black n white hollywood starlet famously known for her affairs n “bedroom eyes”. willa was like ugh. icon status instantly. didn’t rly foresee the responsibilities tht came w owning a dog tht loves exercise n complains abt him being like “ugh he wants to run soooooooooo much 🙄 like where are u literally going”. having said tht loves him dearly n he can often be seen wearing little clothes. a baby’s bonnet. a quilted leather waistcoat. a custom dog boa. he’s very glamorous. willa calls him a gay icon despite no evidence to support this theory. she also says he can sniff out evil in ppl so she brings him sometimes when she’s first introduced to a friend’s new bf n if his nose quivers a certain way she’s like “marlene has spoken. it’s done”. her friends r like omg? what’s done? willa gets up n walks away without elaborating. marlene’s little paws clicking along the floor w attitude.
literally dressed as marie antoinette for her high skl prom even tho there was no theme pertaining to this. jst loves the spotlight. can fake cry and WILL to get out of a parking ticket or teach someone to watch their tone or even simply for the theatrics of it all. the Most dramatic………….. rly fits being an actress like when people find out what she does it’s very like oh that makes sense.
says she doesn’t get hangovers. she’s just like “i revoked that it doesn’t happen to me”. alludes tht this is bc she’s an all powerful deity that was Chosen to be Blessed bt really she’s jst great at bouncing back n acting fine even w a blistering headache. it’s about believing the performance so much that u even convince urself.
has an extremely elevated sense of self importance bc this is kind of the equivalent of several layers of bubble wrap to cushion her frm the world. strives to b extraordinary bc ordinary honestly feels like a death sentence n there’s nothing she’d want to b seen as less. despite this weight she puts on that she rly doesn’t tend to let ppl’s opinions affect fr the most part like she’s quite firmly set in this I’m Literally The Most Gorgeous And Beautiful Angel Star Creature To Walk This Narsty Little Earth view
probably an incredibly big fan of dramatic short lived love affairs. she wants the glamour of it all. the scandal. the randomly breaking up w someone in a public place n sliding on sunglasses after delivering the words over a freshly ordered coffee (tht she’ll leave without drinking bc that’s star power babey she waits fr no man or no hot beverage)…….. has no preference gets w any n all regardless of gender……… romanticises things so they hv a better spin or story in her head n doesn’t rly take things seriously like jst has fun in her fantasy world…. she’s like ugh chuck i know u wanted to marry me but i’m a beautiful bird in a cage n u literally need to undo the latch n set me free……. the guy’s like……. my name’s chase n we’ve only been on two dates….. willa’s like…… please don’t take this so hard i can tell ur besides urself but people r starting to stare……. gets up n leaves. no-one was staring. chase is confused n honestly probably semi concerned fr her welfare.
always has to b the hottest n most glamorous person in a grocery store…. probably goes to them when she doesn’t even need anything jst holding a basket nonchalantly over her forearm glancing over at a cashier in her wizard of oz corset seamed interpretation on a dorothy dress thinking he wants me soooo bad it’s not even funny….. seduces him over the check out counter jst for him to ask her to come back to his so she can lean back scandalised n cry “IS THAT THE KIND OF WOMAN U THINK I AM, PAUL?! YOU’RE A GHASTLY LITTLE MAN, YOU ARE….” with all the gusto of a telenovela. attracts the shocked glances of all surrounding elderly.
speaks fluent french. probably on her brief stint on tht reality show i mentioned earlier was like “ugh can you believe Deneurve of this guy?” n in her head was like this catchphrase is sensational it’ll catch on fast the twittersphere is abt to implode but it didn’t become a thing except for in a small isolated community. despite this she’s like “yeah it went viral….. go figure. just another day in the life.”
honestly like a lot of fun bt also a huge handful at the same time. keeps her real Serious emotions in a locked box bt is always overflowing w melodramatics n rly giving her all at the drop of a hat where Performing is concerned. probably Loves parties n sees them as another form of production in which she wants to b the lead. rly just. loves herself. except does she? 🤔 lifts my hand up like rihanna n winks. find out next time. lucky by britney plays as i slowly disintegrate in spiderman rp…..
WANTED CONNECTIONS
unrequited flame: willa burns thru people like matches. bright n fast. honestly i feel like she struggles to take romance seriously so it cld be fun to play around with someone who’s been singed by that in the past…. mayb they hd actual feelings whereas willa was just messing around n having fun…. living la vida loca so to speak…….. we can discuss a time frame or specifics to expand upon this but. sexy angst perhaps.
those she knew from childhood: willa moved to NY at 11 n i feel like it was very sudden n soon after the accident. maybe she didn’t even say goodbye. maybe they were rly close n all of a sudden she didn’t show up to school the next day n when they rode past her house on their bike the sign said sold and that was that. honestly very dramatic of her even at a young age. we love a disappearing act. houdini who?
acting rival: honestly jst feel like this cld be funny. willa’s so dramatic she’d be like i literally want them dead they’re a despicable little gremlin fr trying to steal my spotlight. cld be as simple as having auditioned a few times fr the same parts or something.
childhood sweetheart: i think it cld be rly cute n sad if there was someone that kind of echoed the dynamic her mum n dad had except she was the celeste n they were the marlon…. (open to any gender)…….. so like. willa was always very larger than life commanding attention in a room n they were more to the sidelines but they just kind of got each other n brought out the best in one another. added angst to the fact tht willa wld maybe want to avoid them as much as possible now bc it dredges up feelings she doesn’t want to confront where her parents r concerned n also in a way any possibility of them winding up together feels like sellotaping an expiration date to both of their foreheads in willa’s brain
someone who was either a fan of or also on the reality show willa was: i imagine it like a reinvention of the hills honestly except based in these irving beach houses…. probably didn’t run that long bt there was a bunch of drama on it mostly staged…… maybe they were willa’s love interest bt it was all fake fr the cameras…… it wasn’t like. a huge deal n didn’t rly catch flight so much where popularity’s concerned bt. cld be fun to play with <3
patti frands: jogs in high knees to translate that into party friends as i adjust my spectacles. willa’s very sociable bt she’s also like kind of full of herself n obnoxious so do with that what u will. KFHGKSHGKGHFSKG. she knows hw to have a gd time tho like growing up she was rly into the gay club scene n the drag scene in NY so like. let’s hear it fr the gays who know how to do it right <3
someone equally over the top: i luv the idea of willa having someone who just like runs with made up scenarios n roles she makes up on the spot n them hanging out is like a 24/7 improv session tht they reel random surrounding strangers just fr the fun thrill
the other woman: willa is quite detached n selfish so she wld easily be the other woman in a relationship n not care about it n this cld make for good spice <3

♡ Introduction ♡
Hello! It's occurred to me that I've never done a proper introduction post, for as long as I've had this account, so here it is! I'll be including both my Twitter and Discord at the bottom, in case anyone wants to add/follow me on either! <3
For starters, I go by both Dee and Saturn! Either name is fine for me, so it's really up to you! My pronouns are she/they, though I really prefer they/them when it comes to people I don't know/acquaintances. i’m 19, so i’m a baby adult compared to a lot of ppl in this fandom. i’m also native american and yt. don’t ask me abt blood quantum unless u feel like having ur eyeballs poked
i love horror in all medias. i’ve consumed way too many horror movies for my own good, including some really shit ones (lookin’ at u, slither 👀👀). some of my favorite video games r horror games, such as resident evil, tlou, prey, etc.
speaking of games, i also enjoy other games that r not horror! such as: animal crossing, legend of zelda, stardew valley, tbcte, hollow knight, fallout, skyrim, minecraft, genshin impact, pokémon, sims, etc. i also play way too much bitlife and wordscapes for my own good.
music-wise, i listen to a wide variety of artists, but i mainly listen to mxmtoon, marina, cavetown, ntmc, lovejoy, taylor swift, and mcr. there’s also a bit of lorde, pomme, and mitski. i think mcr stands out the most but it’s my comfort band dont @ me.
some people i look up to r kurtis conner, sam collins, chrissy chlapecka, jessie paege, hank green, toriphantom, and markiplier
i’m really passionate abt art and makeup! i have spent so much fucking money on both, and people tend to be intimidated by my makeup collection. i even have the sailor moon x colourpop collection, which is my pride and joy and also cost me $130. i never cried so much before making an impulse purchase. in terms of drawing, i draw digitally and infrequently, since i like to procrastinate. i have an unfinished drawing of tubbo and tommyinnit as bee and puppycat that’s been sitting there for weeks *cri* i also draw my ocs a lot! they’re my children :D i also rp w/ them (i rp on discord if anyone is ever interested)
i love sharks, frogs, rats, cows, fish, whales, etc. i also love a lot of bugs and other crawlies, but i’m too scared to touch them :c do not talk to me abt capybaras or else i will cry at u. they r just guinea pigs on steroids that r scary as fuck
some things i like to eat/drink r chai, boba tea, sweet potato fries, swedish fish, cherry coke, cherries, peaches, mangoes, monster, and pancakes/waffles.
ok now i’m bored and i gotta stop before this gets too long. like, no one’s gonna fuckin read it at the length it is currently. uh, anyways, if anyone wants to be friends/moots, hmu :D i literally talk to no one on this app and i promise i’m friendly
Twitter: @/satsumasaturn
i mainly tweet/rtwt political stuffs, jokes, lgbtqia+ stuffs, and mcyt stuffs
Discord: strawbeariecake#7626

most recent thing i bought is weve all seen helena but i might buy swedish fish in a bit. might also not tho bc i want one of ofsorrowz’s prints. weather looks nice here but i havent been out, its usually nice on my birthday tho :) i dont have an ideal interior design. fucked up wizard maybe. i can show you my room tho its like super messy and has a lot of plants. i dont use a backpack bc i have not been to real school in months but i usually use a canvas bag with like a knitting slogan and(1/2)
(2/2) a blue backpack. the bag is for books knitting snacks headphones etc. backpack is for homework (so i can forget it) textbooks and computer. and well i am either listeninf to music or im not :) i think statistically i listen to music most of the time tho since i listen to it in my sleep. been listening to more audiobooks recently tho so less music
OUGH weve all seen helena looks so pretty ur the second person I know that bought her. swedish fish are cool tho!!! i support both those AND one of ofsorrowz prints. uve got good taste
oooh yeah that's tmrw right?? i hope you have nice weather for it!!
i think I saw ur room the other day? you posted pictures of your plants and they all looked very nice. do you name your plants?? i always forget to but a lot of my friends do
okay true I forgot a lot of ppl arent uh. going anywhere rn but that two bags thing is SMART i just hauled all my shit around all the time in highschool and probably that wasn't good for my spine.
people that are listening to music are just people that arent listening to music listening to music :) I cant listen to music while I Sleep sleep but for naps i can. i bet ur spotify wrapped has off the Wall high numbers for amount of music listened to. also audiobooks!!!! vv valid of u my dad used to listen to those when we went on roadtrips and when I was homeschool i listened to norse mythology books I think but that was a While ago

·         As usual, Ben and Klaus are bad at everything

·         Oh I see the deliberate parallel with Vanya, Umbrella Academy, you aren’t fooling me
·         SWEDISH ASSASSINS BABY
·         Do you think they’ll say a single word or?
·         Literally the only way this show knows how to signal danger is through flickering lights
·         Two bopping fight scene and Five hasn’t been in any of them
·         Lila and Diego have no braincells between them it’s beautiful

Mrs. Wahlstrom--Feb 5, 2021
How do you get into a fight the first time you see someone? When you’re the ripe old age of six? That’s the way it happened with Lloyd Tichey and me. We had just moved in to Midfield Avenue. I saw a kid across the street, playing between the two garages that took up the block. I crossed the street to inspect and got pelted with a clod of dirt for my trouble. I found a hiding spot and armed myself. After a brief fusillade, I poked my head out; so did Lloyd, who said, “My mom’s got iced tea.” Within first sips, our friendship was cemented. Lloyd was younger than I, not by much. He was a bit taller (who wasn't?) and better at sports and games. The surrounding streets were our arena, with plenty of kids and fewer cars. Were moms really allowed to drive? Not in our neighborhood. It didn’t take us long to confront a common enemy. Mrs. Wahlstrom lived next to me and anointed herself the personal enemy of kids having fun. She appeared regularly in attempts to quelch our enjoyment. Some of the games could attain high volume levels, particularly kickball. The sport was similar to baseball. An inflated ball would be rolled to the “batter.” You can figure out the rest. Four bases, hits, runs, enjoyment. Wacky Wahlstrom, as we called her, used her porch as her pulpit. Fortunately for us, she was a native Swedish (we guessed) speaker. Diatribes, accompanied by boney, croney finger-points, began with, “You keeds,” followed by screechy, unintelligible syllables, accented with various avian screeches, hoots and gabbling. Since she was a grownup, we didn’t sass her back, nor did we listen to her admonitions. Occasionally, a ball would find its way onto her porch. The nearest kid would race up there to retrieve the precious piece before she could confiscate it. Lloyd Tichey (pronounced “Ticky”) feared her least. He would march right up to Mrs. Wahlstrom and face her down until she surrendered whatever she had just nicked from us. One time, during a game break, I opined, “I wonder if there was ever a Mister Wahlstrom?” Several theories ensued. Lloyd’s stance was, “There was a guy, once. He musta killed himself.” We howled. Lloyd had an older brother, Barry, who was in my grade. He was quiet, virtually tacit, forever riding his bike down to Birch Creek to fish. An even older brother (Jimmy, I think) lived elsewhere. He was wild-eyed with bushy uneven hair and given to loud forms of addressing anyone. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING, TIMMY?” he would shriek as he raced from his car to the house. I never knew how to answer him. Mr. Tichey was a dapper, tanned, mustachioed man who travelled for work. His wife always looked furrowed; she seemed to worry a weathered washcloth in her hands as she walked about the neighborhood. She was followed everywhere by Baby Myra, a rotund little girl whose face needed constant swipes by her mom’s accessory. Their house smelled of cabbage. All the kids looked to Lloyd for leadership. He was a skilled organizer of games--a natural arbiter. If there was ever a problem, Lloyd seemed to rule. For a time, Dark Mark Longuiel, who lived down by The Field, started hanging around our street. He readily disagreed with anyone, and always seemed champing for a dispute. He even got mad at Ellen Botsford, who was far and away the prettiest girl who played with us. (Yes, we needed no Title IX; we just naturally went co-ed.). Lloyd Tichey got in his face. Harsh words, no blows, no Mark. As we grew, street play lost its popularity. We rarely saw Mrs. Wahlstrom. Once, when she was inching her ancient DeSoto down the driveway at a glacier’s pace, little Martin Botsford yelled, “Hey, Wacky Wahlstrom!” Lloyd immediately shut him down. “Leave her be,” he said sharply. Little Martin was already growing into quite the pain. But the little old lady seemed to fade into her dun, once-burgundy house. “She must have eighty Wiffle Balls in there,” remarked Lloyd one time. He remained an untitled leader in the ‘hood, but I was his consigliere, so to speak. Lloyd would ask me Big Questions. Many of these were about the aforementioned Ellen Botsford.
We were approaching the age where kickball dimmed in intergender activities. Most summer evenings, we played a game of Chase. This was a sort of an offshoot of the classic pastime, but much more hiding was effected as opposed to any seeking. I was just emerging from one of my favorite lairs, behind Crabby Creiner’s shed. I just happened to spy Lloyd Tichey and Ellen Botsford sneaking out of Muldoon’s lot, which provided excellent leafy cover. They were holding hands.
Wait! What? Suddenly, the rules of every game changed. Such manual interlocking was a brave, new world to a pre-shaving Catholic boy, at once exciting and terrifying. But Lloyd and Ellen? No way! No wonder all the questions.
I guess I liked some girls. There was a brief crush on Lisa Longborg, who was our eighth-grade lunch monitor. A veritable amazon at five-seven, she would camp at Sister’s desk while we ate on days too wet for recess. I would invent reasons to approach the desk while she sat there, imperious over her bologna-on-Wonder (pencil-sharpening was a good one), managing to sneak glances at her ever-burgeoning mammarial development. I wasn’t the only boy to attempt this ruse.
There was also the exotic, raven-tressed Ann Marie Pandolfo, whose glamour faded for me when she ironed a Paul Anka image on the back of her coat. This also garnered the disapproval of The Good Sisters.
I barely had the chance to recover from this tectonic shift in my life-views when another tremor hit. Lloyd announced that his family was moving up to Northfield, a suburb some ten miles north of town.
It seems Mr. Tichey had earned some sort of promotion at work, enabling his brood to improve their lifestyles. I was forlorn at first, then resigned.
The school year was bearable (Lloyd went to the public school), but that first summer loomed dusty, empty and stifling. There was the LAG (Lark Avenue Gang) for fun, just a couple of blocks away. Games of Chase still took place. Again I hid alone, noticing that more and more couples were pairing off.
My father even drove me up to Northford once to visit. The streets had no sidewalks or phone poles, with names like Chipshot Road or Rolling Mews Lane.
The Ticheys had a big, split-level ranch, a bigger yard. As neat as it was to see Lloyd, the entire scenario loomed disjoint, foreign. Even Baby Myra seemed clean, and the  house didn’t smell of cabbage
.I didn’t realize our city was slowly draining. People, stores and services were migrating. And a friendship faded, tattered pages of memories from a book hidden away on a musty shelf.
Not long after, I went off to Campion Prep; Lloyd ended up at Northfield High. I found the drums and Lloyd did the same for basketball. Our teams never played each other, for my school kept  an urban schedule. But the Despatch would cover Lloyd’s games, where his star would shine brighter as we neared graduation.
No sports legend, I even took Ellen Botsford to the movies once. She later ditched me for a Campion U. guy who had a sleek Honda bike. Who could blame her?
When I returned home after my freshman year at Sacre Coeur College, I fielded an odd phone call. It was from Mrs. Tichey. Her voice trembled as she told me how Lloyd had joined the Marines right after graduation. This unnerved me. I had thought for sure that a hoops scholarship awaited him. I asked for a way to get in touch. She gave me an FPO address. I wrote to him in vain.
Two summers later, I was rehearsing nightly with a local band, awaiting our maiden visit to a recording studio. One evening, a long Cadillac convertible pulled up to the house. Inside was Lloyd Tichey, in civilian clothes, but looking every bit the cut-and-pressed Marine.
Surprised, I hopped in, and we drove down to Lady’s, the seawall where Park Terrace met the Sound. It was his father’s ride, but Lloyd produced some cold Schaefers.
“I’m sick of this Honor Guard, shit, Timmy,” he began. An influential state senator from Northfield had arranged for Lloyd to secure this light-duty post at the governor’s mansion in Hartford.
“But, Lloyd,” I said, “this keeps you out of the war. Easy going.”
“Bullshit. Anyone can carry a flag. I’m a Marine; I want to fight.” I saw this was no time to voice my concerns over the Viet mess we had gotten into. His anger blossomed: sharp eyes, tightened features. I felt the tension.
We drank in silence. We both knew an argument was futile. As he dropped me off, we shared a brief hug, something we had never done as kids.
Our lives, like two opposing streams, changed courses, each divining its own path, surging forward in separate worlds.The ne
xt May, I read in the paper about Operation Georgia in Viet Nam. What made me notice was that the 9th Marines were involved. Lloyd’s unit.
I didn’t get a phone call. Reading the article in the Despatch galvanized my spine. I didn’t care about the heroes in Quang Nam province. But the article did include that a Lloyd Tichey of Northford wouldn’t be returning home. His remains, however, would.
I gleaned that there would be full military honors at Quantico, but not until a viewing was scheduled here in the city.My mom had sold the house by then, but on the day of the wake, I drove down Midfield Avenue. Why? An unseen force directed me down our old street. Maybe I wasn’t that surprised to see a cab pulled up next door to my old house.
I parked and walked over to the cabbie. “What’s the fare?”
“Some Mrs. Wallstorm. Goin’ ta Wolke’s funeral parlor. Sposta wait.”
I tipped him and told him to grab a better fare. Soon, she appeared on her porch. Hunched over like a question mark, she made for the stairs. I hustled over to help her. How old could she be? She seemed ancient when we were kids. I cradled her elbow as she descended.
“I gotcha, Mrs. Wahlstrom,” I said. She finally looked up, peering at me through veiled, powdery crinkles. I was afraid her arm, impossibly frail, would collapse under my grip.
“Oh,” she said, “leetle Teemy. We go see Lloyd, no?”
We drove the mile or so in silence. Every other time I had listened to her, she was yelling at me. This, somehow, seemed more appropriate.
My buddy, Juice Staley, worked at Wolke’s, so he procured a wheelchair for my passenger, who seemed grateful. We briefly stood beside the closed casket, bedecked with Old Glory. We were greeted by a forlorn Mrs. Tichey, looking uncomfortable in a dress. No husband in sight. She was propped up by Myra, now a young woman. I could see Mrs. Tichey’s washcloth lingering on a nearby chair. Jimmy, no longer wild-eyed, comforted Barry. The scene was fraught with an uncomfortable confusion.
 No one seemed to recognize Mrs. Whalstrom, and I saw no fruit in explaining who she was. Some folks, obviously from the suburbs, entered to pay respects. This eased my tautness. Mrs. Wahlstrom gave me a look that said, “Enough,” and we made our way out.
We passed a Marine officer, all gussied up in his dress blues. He said, “Folks, you might want to stay. We are having a color guard, and an armed salute…”
Mrs. Wahlstrom, still in her wheelchair, was having none of this. “YOU GO TO HELL, MEESTER! ALL YOU KNOW IS FIGHT! FOR WHAT? TO KEEL YOUNG BOYS LIKE LLOYD!”
The man bristled and said, “You best get her out of here, you damned hippie,” he said. I answered with a mock, left-handed salute.
All Mrs. W. could manage on the drive home was, “I guess I told heem!”
At her house, she said, “You come in for tea, Teemy. You must.” How could I refuse this?I had never dared to venture through the door before this moment. I was a bit frightened as I did so. “You seet, Teemy,” she said, leading me into a living room. I rested, cradled in comfy cushions bedecked with lace antimacassars. I could smell the furniture polish and soak in the patina of age that seemed to settle on everything.
Then, I shot out of my seat, drawn to an opposite wall. It was covered with decorations, almost a shrine. There were dreamed newspaper clippings (“Tichey Scores 38 in Tourney Win”); pictures of Lloyd as an All-Stater. Handshakes, trophies: a celebration of Lloyd’s career. Looking further, I could see clips from my Who’s Who in American Colleges honors. Even that shot from an old Billboard when they handed out those Sesame Street gold records.
I stood there, in awe (was it joy? terror?) as she brought in the tea. She sensed my questions as we sat.“
I had no keeds, Teemy. You and Lloyd--good boys. Noisy but good. So I follow you, like you was my own boys.”
As the murky, late-afternoon sun slithered through the blinds, I could hear the thump of a ball and the shouts of youth. I fought tears mightily.
Somehow, it all made sense.

AXEL SWEDES X OC!VANESSA LEBEDEV
chapter one
words: 1216
Tumblr media
The milk truck did hit a few bumps on the way to the Commission. Vanessa had a weird feeling that the brother who was driving was hitting them on purpose just to piss her off. So far it was working. Vanessa hit the back of her head at least twice on the metal she was resting on, thankfully, Axel was nice enough to put his hand behind her head so if it happened again her head would hit his hand instead. It was less painful
At some point, Vanessa fell asleep on the trip, she felt her head leaning on something soft but she didn't know what it was. Her eyes fluttered open a little bit, she saw her head leaning on a clothed covered shoulder. Vanessa slowly lifted her head up and looked beside her. She was sleeping on Axel's shoulder. A large blush came onto her face as she didn't mean to do that. It's a good thing he was sleeping too.
Vanessa crawled over to the front seats, leaning on both Oscar and Otto's seats. "Are we almost there yet?"
Oscar and Otto's eyes widened at her perfect Swedish. The two looked at her like she was crazy. Oscar quickly looked back at the road but Otto was still looking at her. "What? You didn't think I could speak Swedish? I taught myself when I was younger. So, again, are we there yet?"
Otto was still quite shocked but he answered her. "Almost. Just a little bit longer. Maybe, 5 minutes."
Vanessa hummed with a smirk. "Thank you." Vanessa extended the "u" as she went to sit back beside Axel. Vanessa heard a groan beside her and then a yawn. "Good morning, sleeping beauty."
Axel peaked his eye open, stretching his arms. He chuckled. "That's funny. So, you speak Swedish?" A smirk appeared on his face.
Vanessa blushed with a nod. "Yeah. I taught myself. It's—I had a lot of time on my hands while I was alone. I snuck into a library and waited until it closed. They had a Swedish dictionary, computers. I stayed there all night just studying Swedish. Being alone was actually quite fun. I pick things up quickly so it was easy."
Axel nodded, he got up on his feet. He patted her knee and smiled down at Vanessa. "You're very interesting. I like you. It seems we're almost there." Axel gave her his hand, helping her up from the floor.
Vanessa gave Axel a thankful smile and followed behind him. The milk truck came to a complete stop. Vanessa lost her balance a little but Axel helped keep her from falling. She couldn't seem to think that Oscar did it on purpose. It seemed he really hated her and for no reason. It was the same with Otto.
Oscar stopped the truck, taking off his seatbelt. He opened the door, getting out of the truck. Oscar opened up the back for Axel and Vanessa to get out. Vanessa slowly walked out of the back, her shoes hitting the pavement. Looking up at the building, Vanessa widened her eyes in shock. "Woah. This—This is incredible."
Axel hummed, he got out and stood beside her. "It is. Come. There's someone who wants to meet you." Vanessa felt Axel put his hand on her lower back to lead her into the Commission. The milk truck drove away to park into the garage.
As Axel walked her inside of the building, Commission workers were walking around everywhere, giving Vanessa strange looks and nodding over at Axel. She lifted her head and looked at the ceiling. The place was beautiful. "Who am I meeting exactly?"
"I think it would be better if you saw for yourself." Leading her up a staircase, Axel made sure to keep Vanessa by his side so she didn't somehow wonder off. Getting to Carmichael's office, Axel opened the door for Vanessa.
Vanessa looked at Axel curiously before just walking into the room. The evening just kept getting more weird. It was the body of a man in a suit, he didn't have a head though. Instead, it was a fish in a tank. "Umm, am I on crack or is this really happening?"
Axel let out a chuckle but didn't say a word. The fish swam around in his tank before facing Vanessa. "You're not on any drugs." His posh British accent came out of the speaker on the front. "My name is Carmichael. I've sent the brothers to collect you. We want you to work for us. As Axel hopefully told you, your powers are quite special. They would be a perfect asset here. You'd be working with the brothers, of course."
Vanessa stuttered for a little bit. She turned her head to look at Axel but he just gave her a shrug. Vanessa turned her head to look back at the fish, she was still slightly weirded out. "I—I mean, I'd love to."
The fish nodded. "Great. Now, I would just like to ask. Would you be fine with being an assassin? That's the real question."
Vanessa gulped. Never in her life has she ever been asked to be an assassin. Not until now anyway. Clearing her throat, she nodded. "Why not. What have I got to lose?"
Carmichael smiled. It was weird that a fish could actually smile. Vanessa would believe anything at this point. "Good. Welcome aboard, Vanessa. Axel will give you the tour. He'll help you getting settled in. By tomorrow, your training starts. The brothers will be helping you through that. I hope you know how to shoot a gun."
Vanessa couldn't say anything so she nodded instead. Axel took her arm, lightly dragging her out of the room. He closed the door and told Vanessa to follow him. "I don't know how to shoot a gun. Am I supposed to?"
Axel shook his head, he chuckled at Vanessa. "No. That's why we're going to teach you how. It's not hard. Once you get used to it, it'll be easier. Plus, you have your powers. Having to rely on a gun will be quite rare."
Vanessa followed behind Axel, he was walking too fast as she was trying to catch up with him. Axel's long legs seemed to be able to take him anywhere. "What am I gonna do? Assassin people with a—a truck? Just throw it at them?"
"Okay, so maybe you'll need to use a gun. But you know how to use your powers and control them. You know you can use them to your advantage." Axel stopped walking, he took Vanessa's hands and dragged her into a corner hidden away from everyone's sight. "Trust me, you'll do good. I believe in you. My brothers may not be your biggest fans, and I know you don't like them either. But I like you. Stick with me and you'll be fine. Yeah?"
Vanessa nodded with a smile. "Alright then." Axel took her hand and dragged her out of the corner. Vanessa smiled to herself as Axel wasn't looking. It felt like he was the only one who seemed to believe in her, he also seemed like the only one saw her as a human instead of as, the word she was very touchy over.
A freak.

Aaron.

Roman.
Can’t say I didn’t see it coming.
Aaron.

Roman.
He told us that he loved us but needed time to work on himself or whatever.
Aaron.
I don’t know Khai that well but it does seem like he’s got a lot of shit to figure out
how are you doing with it?
and jayc? Should I reach out to her or....does she not know we’re talking
Roman.
you can talk to her if you want. I think we both just don’t really know how to feel to be honest.
Aaron.
im sorry
i hope he's okay
and i hope you and Jayc are okay too
Roman.
don’t be lol honestly Aaron, I set myself up for it the second I agreed to close myself off, knowing all of the issues I need to work through as well

I’m naked on the couch eating cherry gilato while watching good mythical morning on YouTube
Aaron.
i would very much like to be naked on a couch with you
Roman.
I painted my nails and did a facial first lol i could do yours as well
Aaron.
ill take the facial
i couldn't pull off the nails though
Roman.
you’d look so kickass with some black nails
Aaron.
you think?
Roman.
hell yes. Even a sky blue, like those eyes
Aaron.
i blush
maybe we can try the toe nails first
in case I end up hating them
Roman.
OH, I’m also trained in Swedish massage, head to toe. If you want a personal spa day
Aaron.
that would just give me a boner
Roman.
well, it’s a FULL body massage after all.
Aaron.
sksjsks
dont tempt me
Roman.
Aaron. I just.
is it bad that I don’t want to stay away from you anymore?
that’s a dumb question
I know it’s bad.
Aaron.
its not dumb
I don’t want to stay away from you either
but I promised Landon
Roman.
I know. So did I.
You’re right, I’m sorry.
Aaron.
he’s my best friend
dont be sorry
im glad you’re being honest with me
I just don’t see Landon being okay with this anytime soon
Roman.
I know! I know. He’s mine too, and I care about him more than I care to admit. I shouldn’t be like this.
Aaron.
damn this is fucked up
Roman.
I shouldn’t have said anything
Aaron.
I wish this could be easier
im the one that started with the boner references
Roman.
Not really. I offered you a massage
Aaron.
okay yes but
I told you I wanted to be naked with you
Roman.
because I said I was naked
Aaron.
I just don’t want you blaming yourself that’s all
Roman.
I know, but it is what it is. I made a mess of everything, and now everything I had is ruined lol I deserve it.
Aaron.
Ro
I’m sad you think so little of yourself
Roman.
I don’t. It’s just consequences. I made bad decisions, and now I have to deal with the consequences. That’s all. It’ll all be okay.
Aaron.

Aaron.
damn
so bossy
but okay
Roman.
you know I’m spoiled.
Aaron.
that must’ve been my fault
okay Des like this one:
By the African river, know as the Nile The sun fell away and it rested a while The rhinos had braved all the smoldering heat They lay down to sleep as they wiped off their feet The elephants marched to their elephant beds And gently they rested their elephant heads Slowly the hippos sank into the river The water so cold that it gave them a shiver (Hippos can't swim, like the pelicans think They also can't float, they could easily sink) The hippos went bathing in cool, shallow pools Thinking the rhinos and elephants fools Underwater, they fell to the soft river bed On darkish green plants with a smidgen of red They strolled on the bottom, then bounced up for air They did it for hours, without any care The fish followed closely, and wove in an out Under their belly, and up to their snout Each of the hippos came up to the shore To feed on the grass by the river once more They dried off their bodies by shaking and stomping And took bites of grass, chewing and chomping With night fading fast, they were full from the feast The sun returned back, rising up form the east The hippos crept off to collapse for the day While rhinos and elephants got up to play Enjoying the warmth of the sun and its light Never knowing the story of hippos at night
just read it in my New York accent you’re so good at
goodnight Lois
Roman.
that was perfect. Goodnight Clark.

Stole this from Twitter lol. Lost the og post but here’s the blank!
I tried to go for some bands that aren’t as completely well-known as well as some popular ones. I even tried to add some albums I’m fond of for those that I can tell the difference with! Breakdown and song recs under the cut! 
(U don’t gotta for the meme, I just like talkin abt music lol)
Going by rows, we’ll start with Gorillaz. They’re usually the band I mention if someone asks my favs because I’ve been with em since their first album. All of their albums are really good, but I think I’ve had the most fun with Plastic Beach! Humanz is probably my next choice followed by Demon Days. An underrated song from Humanz is Out of Body!
Daft Punk is another group I’ve been with since Discovery, which is quite frankly still one of the best albums out there. Everyone loves One More Time and Harder Better Faster Stronger but one of their overlooked songs that I’m fond of is Face To Face!
Nine Inch Nails.... SIGH. Gotta be that edge, right? But let’s be fair, I’ve gone to the past like 5-6 concerts they’ve put on, I can’t say I’m NOT a fan lmfao. No fav albums since again... 5-6 concerts. That’s 5-6 album drops. They’re all so good. Not to mention I love Trent Reznor... One song I’d say doesn’t get as much attention as the rest is God Given. (But again... Ow the Edge)
Studio Killers! Hello! The band Tumblr has babied up since they first started... I even cosplayed as Cherry for the one con I went to haha. Everyone knows the Ode to the Bouncer, Jenny.... But the most absolute BOP that I’ve fallen in love with the instant I bought their album was Friday Night Gurus. Just WAIT til the chorus, okay!!!
Scissor Sisters start the next row and like... What can you even say about them. I’m surprised they aren’t more of a thing here on Tumblr, their music is so catchy and bouncy and they sing about the wildest things, not to mention I’m pretty sure most of the band is LGBT in some way! While I try to aim for the more vague songs, Don’t Feel Like Dancing is my jam morning noon and night. (Also just LOOK at that video!)
In This Moment was actually a surprise get for me. I first got to see them opening up for another couple of bands and they absolutely stole the show. If you can ever get the chance, see them in concert!! I describe her as the Lady Gaga of metal- her outfits are fantastic and she’s got some hella backup dancers! As for songs, the list goes on... Whore, Blood, Black Widow... But here, have her singing with Judas Priest in Black Wedding. Yes, another edgy band but it’s metal, what do you expect.
Janelle Monae’s entire Dirty Computer album is fantastic and if you haven’t watched the little movie she’s shot to go with it, go do it now! It’s on youtube, what are you even waiting for!! We all love Pynk, The Way You Feel, Crazy Classic Life... But not gonna lie, Americans still gives me chills when I hear it. Not only is it a bop but Janelle def doesn’t shy away from Shooting Shots.
Beck lmfao. I honestly wouldn’t have thought to add him if it wasn’t for the concert I managed to get tickets to not long ago. His concert was PHENOMENAL, not to mention this new album of his was so fun and catchy... I just can’t help now but to say I love him. Not to mention his older hits like Where It’s At and Loser... Colors and Up All Night are so good but the song that blew my mind in concert and I had to get the instant I got home was Saw Lightening.
Des Rocs actually popped up on my Pandora and I had to look him up! Not only do I dig the whole look and aesthetic (black leather jacket wearing greaser guys? Hell yea) but I absolutely do love the sound. It’s got this retro rock feel and like... If you could Bang a Voice, I’d def choose this one lmao. Let Me Live/Let Me Die was the one that started it for me... But don’t miss out on Used To the Darkness either!
Mitski... It actually took me a few times to get onto this Tumblr train but once I got there I wallowed in it. Most of her songs are on my Sad Bitch Hours playlist but you know what? I’d describe listening to her music as sort of cathartic, I can lay down and stare at the ceiling listening to Mitski for an hour and somehow feel rejuvenated. I think Geyser was actually the one that got me into liking her, but Pink In the Night and Strawberry Blonde of course are good.
Florence and the Machine is kinda in the same playlist as Mitski, but I do absolutely love a lot of her songs. Many of them make me rather emotional (My work started playing Hunger and I nearly teared up at the register? Wtf?) but I think that’s kinda why I dig it. Dog Days Are Over is gonna always be my most favorite of them, but if you want one I don’t see many others chatting about, go for Cosmic Love. Big God is also a wonderful video if you haven’t seen it yet.
I’ve already talked and mentioned the Dead South in a previous post, but man do I love these boys! People talk about Gothic Cowboys and boy do these guys deliver. Their songs can be about death, adultery, literally losing your mind, so many other sort of dark topics but with such a catchy tune! Long Gone is a song that I get stuck in my head quite often!
Gogol Bordello... Wow, there’s so much I can say about this band. I believe the lead singer is from the Ukraine, his pal on the fiddle is from a country I cannot pronounce, he has twin backup dancers that are Swedish-Chinese, he has a guitar player from Honduras- this really is just a rag-tag group of people from all over the place making some fantastic music! I was lucky enough to see them in concert and their energy is off the fucking charts, I absolutely adore this group! Most people learn of them from Start Wearing Purple, one of my faves tho has to be When the Trickster Starts A-Pokin’... Also they performed with Madonna once? Hello? (Also I’m in love with Sergio’s fiddlin tbh)
Sofi Tukker is another artist I stumbled upon while listening to Pandora. It seems like many of her songs have a different style than the others, but they’re all so very catchy and have a wonderful energy to them. Speaking of... The song that got me into her best was Energia. I literally cannot listen to this song without moving a little to it, it’s such a poppy and fun song! For an English song though, try Best Friend. (Batshit Crazy is one I find funny too!)
Gold Fish was one I actually had to dig for at the time- one of their songs was playing in the background of one of those shitty Kia Hamster commercials lmfao. It was SUCH a bop even in the commercial that I had to find it! (It was Fort Knox btw) Again, as a lot of my poppy choices here, there’s such a good energy and upbeat sound to everything they do, it’s wonderful listening to. I actually love putting these guys on when doing chores around the house, it’s fun and gets the energy flowing and makes things a little more enjoyable! One that I also love to turn people towards is Get Busy Living. If you can’t tell between these two songs, they’re actually a sort of DJ-ish band- different vocalists and different sounds mixed in, but it’s all very well done!
Jain, another found treasure from a commercial... (Makeba was in a Levi’s commercial lol) I was reading that she was born in France, went to live in India for schooling, and wound up in South Africa to learn different musical stylings there- and it all very well feels like her music flows with all these different influences! I hate when stores use the generic word “ethnic” but I think her music and voice can very well fit in that sort of category. She’s got a lot of bouncy, poppy songs, but also a few more mellow songs as well... But of course I really love the bouncy stuff haha. If you need a song to get your heart pumping in the morning, I’d def recommend Star! A stranger sort of song that still has a great feel is Hope!
