NO WAIT HANG ON yes sort of.obviouslg what hang on HANG ON pls does it seem like im in l**e
#ough.#idk man like .#you have some weird ass unrelenting connection with someone and it Does Not Die and it never lets up#and no matter what happens or whatever the two of yall do no matter how long yall are apart or how much yall are determined to not do#anything about it#no matter if yall are determined to be friends or strangers or friends who act just a bit friendlier than friends in your own personal#inside friend type of way#yallre just Drawn to each others side like theres something literally magnetic between yall & you cant help but enjoy them jn any capacity#like just that Connection yk. it doesnt force you to do anything. its just there and it draws you to be right next to each other#and its like bothve you could be content just being next to each other. like their presence is enough for you independent of what you can#get from them.#like. sure there are particular circumstances that made it so yall could never take that further or go anywhere with that#but imagine just being so UMPHGH over this person for nearly a year out of your life. and its magnetic for them too#its as if you two could be content with not going further so long as you know yall can have those small moments#tucked away in your own little space in your own little language that yall created together#IMAGINE that. like its not a crush. i Like him but that connection as spinned out some sort of. CREATION its not really anything you canput#a name to. but its like. it doesnt even matter. like it just organically happened like the most natural thing in the world#like atp. even if its not romance its just NATURE. and yeah im waxing poetic and YEAH im biased#and maybe ive never admitted before that i think just because of this. NATURE if we were to see each other again years down the road i have#no doubt this could be rekindled. if it ever dies.#god. yeah im biased here YEAH ik. but its. like.theres something thats been organically spun and i cant deny that. it doesnt have a name#its more conscious and active than liking and just feelings and i. cant call it.loving. i just cant. but theres something THERE and its#driving me nuts. i just WISH we could talk this out. and atp like. i dunno. the way he looks at me .#its hard to believe hes just a lust driven jackass. even though THAT would be more comforting at this rate.#just. i dunno#anonymous#archived.crush#tell ya one thing though. films where theres an initial connection and then misunderstandings and mistakes and then eventual rekindlings#brighter than ever (see p&p/before trilogy/when harry met sally/etc) have been driving me CRAZY recently

Hrmm... put together a roommates quiz finally after years of thinking it would be an interesting idea lol.. Though obviously not meant to be taken super seriously, I just like thinking about this aspect of personality compatibility. Like yeah, maybe you could get along with someone just chatting with them, but living together is such a different thing. .. curiouse...
#Not that I think that many people would really care since I barely know anyone on tumblr in real life and would never live with random#internet strangers lol but... idk.. I made this to give to friends from time to time and thought... why not post it here too#just out of sheer curiosity if anyone takes it what the most common results would be and etc.#My initial assumption is that most people would probably fall into the 'maybe' category and that either extreme of 'best roomates'#and 'worst roomates' would be the least common#very long also since I like to be thorough I guess#THOUGH... upon second thought... tumblr is home of the like Weird Introverts Who Sit Inside All The Time.. so maybe it's more#likely to come across compatible poeple on here. given that many of the questions are about how meticulous#people are with their scehdules or how often they invite friends over or if they like to mostly stay inside etc.#(since personally I think having a roommate coming and going and bringing random people over all the time would be too chaotic#lol... I need a peaceful quiet household)#Also I kind of don't like the way uquiz seems to do results. I was hoping it would be a number tally? I used some sort of quiz making site#before where you weight the question responses with a number (so the 'Best' response is worth a 0#The worst is worth like 5 points. and all the in between are like 1 - 4 points or something). So then it is actually possible to have a#''perfect score'' category (someone who gets a literal 0 points). and also you could weight some EXTREMELY bad answers#to add like +10 to the score instead of just +5. And someone who got the MAX possible points would be the WORST compatibility. etc.#But uquiz seems to just be like ''which category did you score towards the MOST'. So someone can give some pretty bad answers#that are VERY non compatible. but as long as MOST of their answers landed in a 'compatible' category#then they would still be listed as compatible despite still actually having some dealbreakers in there. Which is also possible with the#'every answer is a number amount' ranking system too. but I feel like that one does allow for a little more customization#and accuracy (like making the dealbreakers add like...+40 to the score or something so that#there's basically NO way that someone could answer with one of those and still get a good score. Or the ability to have a literal#'perfect score' (getting a zero) etc.#BUt anyway lol... inchresting.. inchresting... curious to consider maybe making a uquiz#for the characters in the gameI'm making like.. which npc are you type quiz or something#now that I've made one and seen how it works.. hrmm hrmm....#(< game will not even be done for like another year but still thinking about nonsense like this lol)

So ya know how some pokè fans are tired of the "friendly" rivals , like Hop ? I have an idea that I think could be a good alternative to the friendly rival, and very interesting from a story pov.
Since Scarlett and Violet are the new games, let's say that's the games this story takes place in.
Ya start off as childhood friends with Infer (since Scarlett and Violet are based on the color spectrum of light, I chose Infer, like infrared light, as a name for the rival) .
They start out all nice and friendly, sort of like Barry from diamond,pearl ,and platinum.
Yeah you two are besties but they still want to win the battles.
After the first battle they get a bit weird. They make an odd face, something akin to frustration.
They aren't happy that they lost but they still congratulate you, even though the smile on their face is strained. They say that they'll get stronger, and this will be the last time they lose to you. They leave you there but the promise that they will get stronger.
Then you run into them again . It's a quiet place . It's calm ,it's peaceful, somewhere in a garden or something .There are beautiful flowers surrounding you .their smile is a little bit less strained than when you last saw them. They challenge you to another battle and they lose again. They are not happy. They do not smile . They frown but it's a sad frown. They are upset that they could not beat you this time ,even with all their training. They say that they will train even harder now, now that they know your tricks you can't beat them again. Not with the same old tricks at least.
A little bit later they asked something of you. They'd like to see your strategy on a Pokemon doll. They want to see what makes your team so effective. You show them ,of course you would, they're your friend. They seem happy. They tell you they just want to know what makes you so strong. They want to be strong.
It's been a little bit since you last saw them. They do not smile as they approach you . In fact they almost look angry. They challenge you to another battle, and they use some of your old tricks on you. Once you defeat them again they're more than angry. They're infuriated.
Infer has always been kind to you ,yet at this moment, you have your doubts. Infer use something you showed them to their advantage in a battle against you. You show them your strategies and what do you get ? A knife in the back!
Throughout the game you always fight some evil team and this time will probably be no exception. And one point or another you and Infer end up sneaking into this team's base. Infer will not let you leave .They will not heal your Pokemon . You have to keep going further in, you have to keep battling.
Then you need the big boss. Except there's no one there, the room is empty except you and Infer. They smile and tell you their plan.
They had not been involved at first ,but well to beat you they had to grow stronger and what better way to do that ,than gain control of the legendary Pokemon? The old boss had a good plan together ,but Infer was stronger, and simply replaced them.
Now they've got you here , tired , weak , helpless , alone. Because you had to be a hero and go in by yourself, of course like the good friend they are ,they followed after you. And you didn't think anything of it.
So now it comes down to one last final battle. It isn't rival versus rival anymore. Now it's much much bigger than just the two of you. Now your life lies in your hands and the hands of your Pokemon. And depending on how this battle goes ,it just might be the sake of the world too.
OMGOMGOMG I /LOVE/ THIS
AND IT'S HARDLY EVEN A TWIST/SURPRISE VILLAIN (AT LEAST IT'S NOT VERY SURPRISING) SO IT'S NOT LIKE IT WOULD BE EVEN CLOSE TO BORING EVEN PLACED DIRECTLY AFTER VOLO
#*AGGRESSIVE VIBRATING AND HAPPY HAND FLAPS* /POS#I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE SLOW AND CLEAR DROP INTO HATRED INFER HAS FOR THE PLAYER HERE#SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN GAME WOULD BE SO HECKIN HARD TO EXECUTE PROPERLY#BUR IF IT WAS!!!!!#/DAMN/ THAT'D BE SO MAGNIFICENT#!!!!!!! I'M JUST IMAGINING THE FINAL FIGHT SCENARIO HAPPENING IN A HUGE ROOM#AND DIRECTLY BEFORE THE FIGHT ACTUALLY STARTS THE CAMERA PANS OUT TO SHOW HOW SMALL THE CHARACTERS ARE INSIDE IT#AS KINDA A WAY FOR SAYS DESPITE THIS STARING OUT AS A TINY ISSUE WITH TWO PEOPLE#IT HAS NOW COMPLETELY GROWN OUT OF PROPORTIONBAND NOW EVERYTHING RELIES ON THESE TWO PEOPLE#AND!!!! IF A FIGHT WHERE THE PLAYER'S TEAM IS ALREADY MAJORLY LOW HP (CONSIDERING THAT THIS IS STILL A GAME PRIMARILY AIMED AT KIDS)#THE LEGENDARY POKEMON COULD HEAL ALL OF THE PLAYER'S TEAM JUST UNTIL INFER CAN FORCE IT BACK DOWN UNDER THEIR CONTROL#HOWEVER THE GAME COULD MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THE PC THEMSELVES ARE STILL VERY PHYSICALLY AND VERY VERY MENTALLY EXHAUSTED#:D!!!!!!!!!!!!#OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO#AND Y'KNOW HOW THE RIVAL ALWAYS CHOOSES THE STARTER POKEMON WITH A TYPE ADVANTAGE TO THE PLAYER'S??#WHAT IF SOMETIME AFTER THE DOLL INCIDENT INFER WERE TO SWAP OUT THEIR TYPE ADVANTAGED POKE WITH THE EXACT SAME STARTER THE PLAYER HAS :o!!!#WITH INFER NEVER USING THEIR ORIGINAL POKEMON FROM THAT POINT ONWARDS IN THE GAME#THROWING ASIDE ANOTHER FRIEND JUST TO REPLACE IT WITH ONE THAT INFER BELIEVES#WILL GIVE THEM A ADVANTAGEVE AGAINST AND HELP THEM BETTER COPY THE PLAYER#AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!#THIS IS ALL SO FUCKING COOL I'M ABSOLUTELY LOVING THIS IDEA SO MUCH#THE SLOW FUCKING DECENT INTO WANTING NOTHING BUT TO BEST THE PLAYER#IT'S NOT EVEN BEATING THE POKEMON LEAGUE#AND IF INFER STARTS OUT EITH THE GOAL OF BECOMING CHAMPION LIKE MOST RIVALS !!!!!!!!!!! IT'S COMPLETELY IGNORING THAT TOO!!!!!!!!!#💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖#THE OVERFLOWING NEED TO BE BETTER TO THE POINT IT DESTROYS THEM#maddymayhearts#Hearts my beloved /p#asks

So you know how people make corndogs?
Imagine, okay. Takeru's monologuing to Aguni about something, perhaps a new fabric he's gotten. Maybe about some new restaurant that's opened up that makes really good apple based treats. Or just talking about how it's a shame that they passed by that dead fish that was run over by a bike, although neither can explain why exactly a fish got run over in the first place.
Then, as any normal citizen does, they get robbed. Well, that's a lie, kind of. Really, people broke in with the intent to rob the place, but it's kind of occupied by a pair of dudes. Well maybe they knew that it wasn't empty, because they have weapons on them. Nothing serious, like guns, just knives, bolt cutters, things that would make robbing easier in the off chance something is locked away.
Aguni isn't having it, obviously. Tries to subdue them, but it's one against a group of them. As much as Aguni wants, he can't fight them all off in the current state he's in. Maybe he sprained an ankle, or is coming down with a cold and can't realistically do anything except maybe spread a cold around (Which is ineffective as a quick solution).
Takeru talks them down, somehow. Charisma off the charts convinces them to stay for corndogs, because he's already in the middle of making some and it would be quite rude if they interrupted him. Don't they respect the sanctity of preparing food from scratch? Principle of the matter.
Anyways, it works (Somehow.) and Takeru continues on making corndogs. He's efficient in it too, talks the entire time. Distracts them from actually robbing the place, because hell is he not good at generating attention.
They get their corndogs. They look delicious. Fresh from the fryer, glistening hot.
Now, I don't know if you know, but when you eat a corndog, typically there's one of two ways. You bite from the top and go down, or you attack it like a corn cob from the side (Although why you would is beyond me. Wouldn't that just fall?) And usually, unless you take shitty bites, you go for it, you know?
Neither really protects you when a man uses knives in place of skewers.
#aib#alice in borderland#hatter#takeru danma#aguni morizono#now logistically this can't kill you but being stabbed in the mouth in my opinion doesn't sound particularly like a good friday night#plus these aren't JUST knives. These are knives that are inside a freshly baked corndog#and if I'm correct I'm pretty sure metal is a conductor of heat#so not only is your mouth likely stabbed but it's gonna burn#unless you sir/ma'am are a master of consuming hot metal then you're burning that flesh maw#now you may be wondering: how did they NOT realize that Hey These Skewers Don't Feel Right#takeru is a man of the dramatics and therefore would likely have oddly shaped knives#alternatively takeru was bored and instead of making hats figured out the art of Really Shitty Shivs#aguni as his best friend simply did not question it/did not know takeru up and weaponised the sticks#aguni also knew that takeru would never intentionally hurt him so yeah he was surprised when people got stabbed#his skewer is normal obviously#alternatively again takeru knows aguni is the type to eat his REALLY weird#in a way that aguni's mouth never touches the stick#therefore knowing that he can trust aguni not to stab himself because no rational person eats a corndog like that#granted aguni likely stops eating his at all when the robbers he's forced to share the table with startle in pain#or aguni doesn't touch his period because when he picked up a corndog it was just... off to him#takeru trusts aguni so deeply that he's willing to serve him weaponized corndogs

#let’s say i miraculously get a car and to move out post-september getting my license#it definitely won’t be until christmas at the earliest because i have to finish out the year#but as soon as the year is over my parents are back on my head about applying for master’s programs which i still don’t want to do#i don’t have a break to be free#and i’m certainly not gonna to be inspired to find my dream artistic lesbian job in middle of nowhere GA at an elementary school of all plac#like everyone too old or too young to understand me. no real work friends no real ACTUAL friends im just going to be going to work and going#home. oh lol i started crying typing. im really over talking into the void i need someone to hear me and help me#but even if up to that point EVERYTHING somehow falls into place. now i’m entirely alone with more bills no resources no one to call and no#idea what i want in any capacity. like i feel like a caged animal i feel insane#im falling into my coma of uselessness and i already lost the entirety of my adolescent young adult years i don’t want to lose my 20s too#not to be like 30 is ancient your life is over then obv not but i don’t care about what i do in my life at 30 and beyond#i want my life to be happy NOW i WANT the best of my life to be in my 20s where i can get away with the most stupid fun because i’m just#young and gay and i still have an excuse for not knowing what my life is yet. i cant breathe not knowing what i want to do but at least its#an excuse. i feel like dying i feel like my insides are rotting to black ash we’re social creatures and im suffering#i sound so stupid. i know i really know. but the people i see living the life i want carefree making money as it comes#have parents who lovingly text them who care but stay out of the way who are supportive but aren’t up your ass and down your neck#they’re just people that would raise kind smart independent individuals and im none of the above so i don’t have a good shot as it is#but i still want to be free. i want to die but i want to be free just a little before then#i hate my life. i hate waking up in my bed every day and seeing my bedroom and being in my house. i want it to be over

this week (this is my attempt at journali-fying my blog)
- ive been complimented the most since this new school started
- met an old close friend i don’t talk to anymore because he transferred to a boys school notorious for raising rich and arrogant assholes when we were 14 and changed drastically after that (i u-turned instantly when i saw him but pretended not to recognise him even when made eye contact like ten times but he still waved at me at the end so it’s okay)
- got a dm from my old classmate to catch up (actually ive spoken to so many old friends recently my heart is so warm and full ❤️❤️)
- but have also realised this clique leader doesn’t like me and she’s influenced one of her members to be afraid of speaking to me too even though we we chatted in a shared class the week before
- realised that im not the only one who noticed the clique leader being hostile ish towards me 😍😍 (anyway my friends and i all agree that it is much better to be the bullied than the bully so i don’t care and i’m grateful she doesn’t like me because i don’t want to interact with her anyway)
- omg but also the girl that was scared to talk to me in front of the clique leader was so nice to me in our shared class like… the first time i tried speaking to her when the leader was there she was so dismissive and kept backing up when i was trying to help her with her project but the next day we clicked so well again and she kinda waited for me after class but idk i told her i needed to stay and ask the teacher if my submission went through and then we accidentally met each other in the lift again and she complimented my hair colour but we just awkwardly stood away from each other after that because we were texting our own friends ro meet for lunch
- actually half of them are nice and i can talk to i just think Thing One is the common… idk fear (??) here because lots of people even those from other classes have pointed this out
- oh and i managed to compliment this girl who’s style ive wanted to compliment for WEEKS because i love casually dropping compliments but she was so pretty and intimidating with good style so it took me time but i did it
#i was so mad on the way to school on thursday#was actually about to skip class too#because i was exhausted and mad from how the clique girl dismissed me the day before#and i was reminding myself of all the negative things that has happened since school started#and i was like wtf if she doesn’t want to speak to me in public because she’s ashamed or whatever then i don’t want to speak to her AT ALL#but it turned out okay#but idk left a bad taste in my mouth when i realised Thing One was the common denominator#but tbh idrc because i just want to get through school#but omg i got my overdue period the next day and had the worst cramps ever#suffered through our coldest (24 degrees celsius) class#with CRAMPS#horrible horrible cramps#wait but let me promote menstruheat rq theyre like 24h heat packs you can stick to the inside of your pants#and they work so well i promise#and then i had an econs project after where one of my friends pointed out an incident where Thing One was hostile towards me#and i was like omg i didn’t wanna talk shit about her but you noticed too??#because i was actually really humiliated by that incident tbh#also this is so petty but Thing One took a pic with a plaque or whatever that had my country’s name on it (i’m a minority ethnicity here)#and i got so mad#or like disgusted idk#that’s MY country step away from it rn#anyway its past midnight rn and im like doing my econs work 😞😞#and studying the different types of theatre stages or whatever so#life is silly

HOW TO GIVE PERSONALITY TO A CHARACTER
Giving personality to a character is an essential part of character development in storytelling, whether you're writing a novel, screenplay, or creating a character for a role-playing game. Here are some steps and considerations to help you give personality to your character:
Understand Their Backstory:
Start by creating a detailed backstory for your character. Where were they born? What were their childhood experiences like? What significant events have shaped their life? Understanding their past can help you determine their motivations, fears, and desires.
2. Define Their Goals and Motivations:
Characters often become more interesting when they have clear goals and motivations. What does your character want? It could be something tangible like a job or a romantic relationship, or it could be an abstract desire like happiness or freedom.
3. Determine Their Strengths and Weaknesses:
No one is perfect, and characters should reflect this. Identify your character's strengths and weaknesses. This can include physical abilities, intellectual skills, and personality traits. Flaws can make characters relatable and three-dimensional.
4. Consider Their Personality Traits:
Think about your character's personality traits. Are they introverted or extroverted? Shy or outgoing? Kind or selfish? Create a list of traits that describe their character. You can use personality frameworks like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator or the Big Five Personality Traits as a starting point.
5. Give Them Quirks and Habits:
Quirks and habits can make a character memorable. Do they have a specific way of speaking, a unique fashion style, or an unusual hobby? These details can help bring your character to life.
6. Explore Their Relationships:
Characters don't exist in isolation. Consider how your character interacts with others. What are their relationships like with family, friends, and enemies? These relationships can reveal a lot about their personality.
7. Show, Don't Tell:
Instead of explicitly telling the audience about your character's personality, show it through their actions, dialogue, and decisions. Let the reader or viewer infer their traits based on their behavior.
8. Create Internal Conflict:
Characters with internal conflicts are often more engaging. What inner struggles does your character face? These can be related to their goals, values, or past experiences.
9. Use Character Arcs:
Consider how your character will change or grow throughout the story. Character development is often about how a character evolves in response to the events and challenges they face.
10. Seek Inspiration:
Draw inspiration from real people, other fictional characters, or even historical figures. Study how people with similar traits and backgrounds behave to inform your character's actions and reactions.
11. Write Dialogue and Inner Monologues:
Writing dialogue and inner monologues from your character's perspective can help you get inside their head and understand their thought processes and emotions.
12. Consider the Setting:
The setting of your story can influence your character's personality. For example, a character who grows up in a war-torn environment may have a different personality than one raised in a peaceful, affluent society.
13. Revise and Refine:
Don't be afraid to revise and refine your character as you write and develop your story. Characters can evolve and change as the narrative unfolds.
Remember that well-developed characters are dynamic and multi-faceted. They should feel like real people with strengths, weaknesses, and complexities. As you write and develop your character, put yourself in their shoes and think about how they would react to various situations. This will help you create a compelling and believable personality for your character.

“It’s just one date. I promise.”
You didn’t know how your friend had convinced you to go on a blind double date in the first place. In fact, you weren’t even the first choice, but when your friend came by to ask you to fill in for another girl who had bailed out last minute, you pity-agreed to help her out.
You weren’t sure if you were making the right choice. Dating wasn’t your thing, and you avoided it like it was the scum of the earth. Not to say you had bad experiences, per se, but you also didn’t have the best choice of men. None of them understood your situation to its fullest, but that was okay! You didn’t need their validation, and you were perfectly content with the way things were.
There was no harm in going on a fun date and having a few drinks and good food, you thought. One night, and you’d never have to see your blind date again.
Besides, your friend seemed to really be into her date from the way she’d gush about him after they met online (not your favorite choice, but you’d support her anyway), and you didn’t want to ruin that for her.
That’s what led you to be here, shoulder to shoulder with your friend as she rambled on about how excited she was with speedy hand gestures, how grateful she was that you came, that she’ll make sure your dinner and drinks are paid for. You weren’t exactly sure where the two of you were going, but judging from what she forced you to wear, it had to be a bit fancy and lavish.
You didn’t have the heart to tell her that was also not your favorite choice.
She guided you inside of the building, which was a preview of what was to come — high ceilings, ravishing decor, and low lighting that made everything much more romantic. You took in the fluorescent scenery as she spoke with the hostess. You didn’t know what they were saying, but as the waitress gestured with a hand for the two of you to follow, you assumed the two men were already there.
Your arm was looped loosely with your friend’s as the two of you walked after the hostess. When you approached a table, you took in the sight of one man that looked familiar — your friend’s date, a man with smooth, tanned skin and a smile that could cure sickness. The other man was new to you, and compared to your friend’s date — Kyle? — he was much more phlegmatic.
Kyle gave a polite nod towards you with a blinding smile, and you have one back, bowing your head in greeting. You sat next to your friend, watching as Kyle pulled out the chair for her, to which your date definitely didn’t do the same.
That was alright. You weren’t planning on making it past the first date anyway.
Your friend began to chatter with Kyle while you and your mystery date sat in silence. Your hands remained in your lap as your eyes scanned the menu that sat on the table.
Focused on appearing as busy as possible, you were unfortunately snapped out of it before it could last long when your friend nudged your shoulder with hers. When you looked up at her, she was smiling, and she lifted her hand to signal the man in front of you.
Blinking at him, you realized he was possibly trying to talk to you, and you shifted awkwardly. He probably thought you were rude.
“Sorry, Simon. I forgot to mention she’s deaf, so she didn’t know you were introducing yourself,” your friend apologized, and you watched as he stared at her before nodding in acknowledgment. “It won’t change anything, yeah?”
You sat in tense silence as you averted your eyes back to the menu. Your date had eyes that could pierce right through you if they wanted to, and you weren’t quite sure you wanted to be their next victim, date or not.
A phone screen was slid across the table from where you were studying the menu, and your eyes flickered to see a string of words typed out in the notes app.
“Sorry if that came off as rude. I’m Simon.”
Glancing up at him, you flashed him a smile that was relieved. He gave you an awkward one back, and you thought maybe he didn’t do it much.
You picked up his phone from where it sat in front of you and began typing out your response before slipping it back to him. You watched as he read it, a look of amusement in his eyes as he did so.
“Not rude at all. Sorry she didn’t tell you. You can back out if you’d like, I won’t take offense.”
Kyle and your friend were conversed in conversation with one another while Simon and you had your own back and forth.
“Why would I do that?” his next note read, and you tilted your head at him. He offered you a shrug, and your fingers tapped along his screen in return.
“Most men wouldn’t like being blindsided by not knowing their date is deaf.”
You saw his mouth part open when he read it, and you wondered if he was chuckling to himself. You wished you could hear it.
Was it deep? What if it was one of those contagious laughs that sounded like the literal gates of heaven opening up, and you wouldn’t ever have the chance of hearing it?
You didn’t have time to think about it when he placed the phone back in front of you, and when you glanced down, you couldn’t help but smile bashfully to yourself.
“A pretty girl’s a pretty girl. I’d be an idiot for backing out on the prettiest one I’ve had the gall to see over something like that.”
Fuck.
You weren’t supposed to like your date, much less so quickly. You only came for the food and for the sake of your friend’s happiness, but here you were, cheesing to yourself like a stupid teenager with a new crush.
But as the date continued, with the both of you eating alongside Kyle and your friend, shamelessly passing his phone back and forth and filling his notes app with evidence of your growing infatuation, you knew it wasn’t only for the food anymore.
He was sweet. Sure, it was all on paper (well, screen), and you told yourself to always be cautious with men.
But when he asked you out on a second date, then a third, you allowed your concrete walls to crumble.
And when he showed you the new signs he’d been working on so he could communicate with you on the fourth date, spelling out your name with cautious, slow fingers, eyes searching for your approval? You could’ve already married him then and there.

Today's Adventure is that I, after an unintentional 13-hour power nap,
Got woken up at 6AM by a phone call from a friend stranded in Montana because of the heat wave and almost no cell service because of their crap provider.
OhSoThat'sHowIt'sGonnaBe.jpg
Ok.
I somehow summon a week's worth of spoons and in less than 30 minutes and 5 phone calls, get them
A hotel
An appointment with a mechanic from 2 states away
A perscription refilled from 2 states away
and A Pizza
Go me.
But then it's 8AM and there are unscheduled live humans at the door and while EVERGENCY MODE is still on, I have already blown through a ton of spoons, and also probably shouldn't meet whoever it is wearing just a pair of bootyshorts that say "CRYPTID" in Gothic Font on my ass.
So I greet them in those shorts and a T-shirt that I manage to put on both inside out and backwards
#nailedit
It is, Fortunately, not the mormons.
it is, Unfortunately, two UPS guys trying to deliver my other in-house friend's new phone except the new guy doesn't know how to operate the "sign for package" device, and the old guy that's supposed to be mentoring him is like, 92, deaf as a post, and doesn't actually know how to operate the device either.
by the way
it is already
over 100 out
it takes almost 30 minutes to sign for the phone
when i get back inside, i discover that apparently the Corgi has learned how to open his kennel from the inside because he is now out of the kennel and waiting for me to come in.
he also has cat litter all over his face because while he was waiting for me he also learned how to open the baby gate to the cat's room and help himself to a cat shit breakfast.
He'll be fine
He's a cattle dog, they're legally required to have at least 1 really disgusting snack they love.
but
more to the point
i have no idea at what point he learned to open his kennel from the inside
has he been staying there out of politeness this whole time??
And
I got other shit to do today.
namely.
I'm seeing a realator
The Devils most pathetic yet effective demons
I get a reminder text that I have an appointment with her
at least
I think that's what it is because what she sends me is: "🏡⏰12:00 ❔"
With the time typed in the middle like that.
She is, according to her profile, at least 80.
so I reply "😎👍"
and then she sends me a string of GODDAMN POST-MODERN EMOJI HEIROGLYPHICS THAT TAKE UP MY ENTIRE SCREEN.
She's on an iPhone so half of them don't even translate across platforms
It takes me half an hour and three different software programs and goddamn wingdings to translate, but she has sent me the address and rules about masking and not wearing shoes inside.
in emoji
instead of like
literally any other format
I am
FASCINATED
and simply must meet the woman so if I don't come back to update I got stolen by the fairies but I'm taking the Corgi with me as protection so I'll see y'all later.

Obsessed with lovers and piners calling the object of their affections their best friend. Like yessss blur the lines between platonic and romantic love. show how important they are to you in a multifaceted way. Cover up your feelings with another kind of love that is just as true. One type of love does not negate the other and but tragedy can rip both out from under you single handedly, and it will hurt so much more that way. Losing a friend and a lover. Gaining both and not needing any labels for what they are. Using labels but having it be so much more than a title. Were they friends before they were lovers? Or were they lovers whose friendship grew inside of their love? Unclear! Who cares!

TW: NSFW, noncon, yandere, stalking
gn reader
Tumblr media
There’s something very off about your roommate… something eerie that makes you keep your distance.
You can’t describe exactly what it was about the boy except that you felt it from the second you shook his hand. The way he introduced himself… you don’t know… you had this unshakable feeling as though he already knew you from somewhere.
It’s a weird thought to have of someone you’d only just met. You knew you were probably just being paranoid. It was your first time sharing your space with someone other than family, so it might very well just have been you being apprehensive.
Not that you’d ever let it show, though. You didn’t want things between the two of you to be awkward when you’d be living together for the next three years of getting your degree.
You just needed to get used to him, is what you told yourself. 
So you laughed at his jokes and listened to his brags with a polite smile as though nothing was wrong, even when he continued being strange. 
For starters, he had almost nothing to unpack – as though he only planned to stay about a month or two. Everything seemed newly bought as well – unused and sterile, like a movie set.
You don’t know… maybe he was a minimalist even though he didn’t seem the type.
It shouldn't really have made your skin crawl the way it did. But whether it made sense or not, you couldn’t shake the discomfort – walking around in a constant wariness of him. 
Everything about him seemed like a half-assed theatre act.
You’d see him in the lecture hall, walking from here to there, buying strawberry milk from the vending machines. His textbooks remained piled on his desk in your shared dorm room – but you’d never seen any one of them open. And when curiosity and suspicion made you flip up one of his notebooks, you found it was all blank except for a few shitty doodles on the first page. You never see him cram for exams or writing any papers. You don’t think you’ve ever even seen him pull a laptop out of his bag.
It’s like he isn't a student at all…
And something about the rest of his performance just rubs you the wrong way.
It’s as though he’s practiced all his facial expressions in the mirror – as though he’s studied social cues and body language in a human behavior manual instead of having learned them naturally. It makes you uneasy – how his smile is always a bit too wide and a bit too stiff to be genuine and how all his words are like dialogue off a script.
Somehow, it feels as though he’s wearing a second skin – hiding something… something that’s not quite right on the inside.
It grosses you out when he tries flirting with you. But you do your best to hide it. Brushing him off by changing the topic, inviting other friends when he asks to eat lunch together, laughing off his attempts as though he’s making jokes – always excusing yourself when you end up alone with him for too long. 
You try to avoid him as much as you can. Pretending to study when you’re in the dorm together – and otherwise going to bed early.
He tells you he’ll see you at the party later when you leave to pregame with some friends. You can only muster a smile and a curt “Sure.” before leaving. 
As for seeing each other later – you hope you don’t.
But of course you do. You can’t seem to escape him. Everywhere you go, he follows.
It doesn’t help that all your friends think he’s so hot, immediately calling him over, gushing over him as though he’s some type of celebrity. They don’t understand your reservation – if they were you, they’d have fucked him the first night of moving in together.
It’s not like you don’t find him attractive as well. You admit he is ridiculously handsome, and if the circumstances were different, you’d say you lucked out being assigned the same dorm room as him. 
But as it were – he gives you the same feeling as spotting a spider.
He’s got his arm slung around your shoulder as the two of you walk back together. 
He had a little bit too much to drink… And despite your thoughts about him, even you didn’t have the heart to say no when he was practically hanging off of you – cheeks dusted pink with his mothlike lashes droopy, drunkenly mumbling while blinking up at you with those awfully bright eyes, asking you to take him home and tuck him in.
“Ugh...” You sigh.
It’s a struggle carrying the nearly two-meter-tall boy, almost having to drag him down the hallway before stopping short at your door. He’s drooling on your shoulder with murmurs of sleep as you search for the key – not exactly sober yourself.
When inside, his bigger body presses you against the closed door – his face buried in the grove of your neck with slurred words.
“Dude.” You state with a grimace – as if saying his name was too much of a burden – sighing as you haul him off with the same exasperation of a parent putting an unruly child to bed. 
Ducking beneath his arm, you leave him kissing the door – thinking to yourself how you really should put him to bed before he can embarrass himself any further.
You open your mouth to tell him when his temper finally makes him grab your arm a little harder than intended. 
“This isn't how this is supposed to go.” 
You flinch instinctively, and his grip tightens in return. “Hey?”
You can’t see his face with the way he’s got his head bowed. But you don’t like the snuff growl that passes under his breath as he utters the next words.
“Why are you so difficult?”
You do more than flinch this time, yanking yourself out of his harsh grip before he can apologize for it – taking on a deliberate offensive stance. 
With your feet squared and your hands up to keep him at a distance, you look ready to try fending him off.
Something about it seems premeditated – something in the wary way you eye him. You don’t even look all that surprised – as if you had suspected this side of him existed all along and had only been waiting for it to surface.
Oddly, t feels like something you’ve kept secret from him – as though you’ve acted comfortable all this time when, in reality, you’ve been clutching your mental pearls.
He realizes then why you haven’t returned his affection – why all you’ve ever given him is cold-hearted rejection…
Of course. It’s obvious now – so obvious it’s funny. Even though he’s been the one parading around like someone else, it feels as though you’ve been doing the exact same thing around him – hiding your discomfort behind a sweet smile – hiding it so well that not even his keen eyes have picked up on it…
But it’s clear now….
You’ve both been playing a game of pretend – just a pair of perfect strangers – who've now shared their hand. Leaving you both feeling naked – raw out in the cold – just waiting for the next move.
“I guess the gig is up, huh?” He rasps, fingers twitching at his sides – looking ready to pounce.
You couldn’t defend why you'd kept the pepper spray in the drawer of your nightstand – but you were glad you had. Rushing for it, hands shaking as you pulled the handle and grabbed the bottle – twisting around and spraying it right in the face of your roommate.
He cries out from the attack, clutching his face with both hands – staggering back with a series of gruff curse words.
Still, he guards the door – preventing your escape.
The groaning turns to croaks instead, and you think he might be crying. It’s tough to see through the hands covering his eyes – but when he looks back up again, despite the red burns left by your pepper spray on his puffy teary cheeks, he’s got a smile on his face. 
He’s not crying – he’s laughing – as the hand covering his face slowly drags down the crazed expression – over crazed eyes, bloodshot and wet, staring at you through the gaps between his fingers.
The look alone is enough to give you goosebumps.
But when you try to make a run for it, he grabs you again – and this time, you’re not able to shake him off. It feels as though the tight grip splinters your skin as he pulls you back – shoving you down against your bed.
“Can’t say it hasn’t been fun, roomie. But I’m not completely satisfied yet.”
He’s on top of you before you get a kick in – pinning your wrists above your head as he leans over you – bright eyes gleaming with that sickness you’d almost convinced yourself you’d been imagining. You opt to shout, but he’s soon got his other hand clasped tight over the bottom half of your face before you get a sound out.
“You were supposed to fall in love with me, you know?” His voice is airy as though he’s confessing – but also on the brink of laughter as though he’s telling a joke in class. “That’s how it goes in the movies.”
You swallow beneath his hand – eyes peeled, heart beating so hard it hurts.
His eyes wander – roaming your neck and chest. It’s awfully quiet before he speaks again. “But I suppose we can act out a different plot line...” 
You whimper at his suggestive tone – already feeling the weight of his intentions bearing down on you, crushing you free of air. 
“I like romcoms, but horror stories have their charm, too...”
You shudder beneath the warmth of his breath, screaming into his palm once his warm lips mouth your throat, sucking on the tender skin with tongue and teeth in between words.
“An unfortunate college student finds themself moving into the same dorm as their unhinged stalker…”
There’s a thrill in his tone – something crazed and terrifying as he goes on.
“The two play a psychological game of endurance, trying to balance college and privacy while sharing the same space...”
Something hard and gross steadily ruts against your thigh. His voice gets thicker – breath hotter on your neck. The kisses turn sloppy. Tears burn your cheeks.
“Everything seems to lead up to a party held before Spring break, a fateful night on which their endurance finally runs out.”
He groans, and you sob.
“A rejected kiss, a can of pepper spray, a shared bed. What happens next?”
