#oops made myself cry

[alltoounwellll]

after azkaban sirius notices the new scars. some fresher than others. winding themselves around remus’ body like jagged wire.

“show me your scars” he says one morning. their legs tangled together beneath linen sheets.

“why?” remus asks, shying away.

“because I want to see how many times you needed me and I wasn’t there.”

[nap-mak]

What soft love songs the Fellowship dedicate to you (and why) <3

In the mood to make myself cry, plus I’m in my ‘i was i wasn’t lonely’ phase of the night.

Pulled most of these from my notes app lmao, and i listened to each one while writing, I highly recommend giving them a listen!

GN! reader, mostly you/your used :) (Obviously some songs will involve specified gender, please correct as you need, and remember that these characters would absolutely make these changes as well)

Frodo Baggins - Hopelessly Devoted to You - Olivia Newton-John (Grease)

He definitely has the distinct memory of the classic slow burn moment of “Oh. Oh.” happening, where he realises just how much he loves you. He knew he was head over heels, and he looks at you like you hung the moon. And if you sing it to him- UGH😩💙. IN LOVE, HE SHALL BE. He probably hums it a lot when doing work or writing. Of course, the lyrics are quite relatable to him. Frodo has this internal belief that the person/people he love/s can’t love him nearly the amount he adores them. He was willing to sit around and wait on you, in the hopes that you would see him in the same way. His brain knew he should just move on, but he couldn’t let go, and he’s glad he didn’t. He’s so devoted to simply loving you.

“Hold on to the end, and that’s what I intend to do. I’m hopelessly devoted to you~”

(gotta appreciate that me looking up his name resulted in a bunch of po-tay-toes memes. anyway. back to the hcs)

Samwise Gamgee - Hello, Hello - Elton John ft Lady GaGa (Gnomeo & Juliet)

He’s a sucker for meet-cute stories, and would unironically love this movie, even setting aside this banger of a song. The moment he saw you, he felt captivated by your beauty, whether or not the meeting went well or if you fell on your face. The song is just so cheerful and wholesome. He probably told you that the song reminded him of you, and that sparked the romantic relationship. Every time this sequence plays he’ll just look at you (if/when you watch the movie). PLEASE SING THIS AS A DUET WITH HIM AAAA. (He isn’t Elton John, but his voice is lovely 🥰)

“Hello, hello (Hello, hello), my, my, my, what have we here?”

Peregrin Took - I’ll Be - Edwin McCain

Honestly it’s hard to explain this one. It’s just so soft and sweet and really describes how he feels about you. Also as the youngest and a, quoting Gandalf here, “fool of a Took!”, the line “and I’ll be, better when I’m older…” is just- MWAH. This song reminds me of him honestly. He is, as the song states, “your crying shoulder”, the “greatest fan of your life”. Everything about you takes his breath away. We all know he’s the best singer in the fellowship, and its just gorgeous to listen to him sing it, especially because he means every word. He also probably dedicated this to you early on in the relationship, and it was definitely your wedding song (if you got married).

“I’ll be, better when I’m older. I’ll be, the greatest fan of your life~”

(tumblr needs more Merry gifs istg-)

Meriadoc Brandybuck - Nothing - Bruno Major

Honestly you wouldn’t expect such a lowkey song for such a high energy guy, but he’s a sucker for lazy days and sweet moments. He’s, as he likes to say, ‘work-avoidant’, and just wants to spend all his time on you. He also finds the song easy to sing to you, so thats a plus. The lyrics just resonate with him, similar to my picks for Pippin and Frodo. He’s very competitive, but he honestly doesn’t mind losing to you. He pretends like romantic or soft movies don’t make him cry, even if they do. He gets the appeal of going out and drinking and laughing, but just staying at home with you just sounds so much nicer to him. Its all about the little things in life with him, the small moments, the laughs, and every ‘I love you’ that makes him feel lighter than air.

“Dumb conversations, we lose track of time. Have I told you lately? I’m grateful you’re mine~”

Aragorn - Dark Red - Steve Lacy

He knows how dangerous his work and life is, and he’s always had this fear of leaving you behind (hence the ‘something bad is ‘bout to happen to me’). He only sees you in his life, no matter who else is wanting for his attention, he’s so devoted to you. He only hopes that you’ll stay by his side and fight with him, and he’s not willing to give up on you. No, he refuses to give up when you are involved, and he fights so hard to keep you safe and protected. The song also is easy to mumble to you when he’s tired, and it’s soothing for him to listen to. It’s just a symbol of how much you mean in his life, and how he trusts you with his heart.

“Only you, babe, only you darlin’, only you~”

Legolas - Lover - Taylor Swift

Unabashed Swiftie in general, but this song just hits different. So first off he probably already called you his lover, and when he found the song he thought it was perfect. I can definitely see him learning guitar and playing this song for you as well. Into the actual song analysis, this song frames his want to be close to you, the mysterious way he was drawn to you, the way he felt like time flew by whenever you talked. Also I feel like he’s made jealous relatively easily, and that’s also in the song. His heart has been borrowed before, but he’s glad he’s ended up with you, to hear your jokes, save you seats, and call you his lover. He definitely likes to sing this to you late in the night, and i can see him humming/mumbling it whenever the two of you just stand and hold each other. Its so wholesome, and he loves the way your eyes light up when he sings it with all the love in his heart, all of it for you.

“You’re my, my, my, my… lover~”

Gimli - If You Love Her - Forrest Blakk

Honestly, he’s not a very observant dwarf, but he does pay attention to you. He knows you, and he cares a lot. Protective of you to a fault, but just wants everyone to know that they shouldn’t take you or your heart for granted. He hates to admit it, but he thinks you are precious (I’M SORRy-) and every small thing about you is worth taking note of. And he does, so he knows exactly how to make you happier. He’s your personal hype-man, and truly believes that you are the best thing he has ever had. He uses the song as a guidebook on how to treat you, and while he won’t say it, or sing it, he does play this song for you and leave in a huff, just hoping you’ll know this song is meant to say that he loves you. (He might even dub it over with your preferred pronouns for the big reveal, and it’s quite funny)

“They’ll love you, if you love them like that~”

Boromir - Summer Love - The Workday Release

Boromir really thinks this song demonstrates his feelings towards you, and how he wishes you’d stick around with him. You remind him of the summer, warm, bright and hopeful. It was so simple for him to fall in love (it’s like counting 1,2,3). He’s awestruck by your beauty, and doesn’t find it enough to dream about you, he needs to be holding your hand, feeling your presence. He wants to face the world with you there next to him. You always manage to give him a smile, make sense to him, and be honest. He’s not sure how to articulate everything he feels around you, so he just says that he loves you.

“Surely this is love, this is love, this is summer love~”

WOOOOO IM DONEEEE

Ive been writing for the past 2+ hours and it’s late and I’m tired, but I really hope you enjoy. If you want to request a fic, any fandom will do, I’ll get back to you on it, I promise.

Let me know if you want me to do a Part 2 with some other characters <3 Have a great day!!

[heavnlyhetfield]

Have you seen that Connie Burton interview where she says that Cliff showed a lot of signs of someone who knows they’re passing soon and when he was going off to the tour she told him “don’t go” and he responded with “I have to do this” (not the exact words but along the lines of that) and she also mentioned he was reading a book about spirituality or something of that sort

man.

this hurts. at least he was at peace in some way.

there’s a story about the last photo taken of him for the damage inc tour pamphlet; he’s kissing the camera goodbye and wanted the photo thrown out because it was so out of character for him. lars insisted they keep it, and it was printed.

also, his last words. “maybe i will, maybe i won’t.”

in some way, he might have known his time was limited. i believe certain people are more in tune with energies and stuff like that, and cliff was definitely one of them.

i love him a lot

[kadextra]

it really is all about love, isn’t it <3

"Please forgive me for what I do When I don't remember you..."

[inconsistentracoon]

Unsure if I'll have a good spot to put this in the next chapter but I'm quite happy with this draft scene so sharing it here in case it gets cut...

----

Merlin's quill was flimsier than the ones he used. Merlin must keep some spare ones around. Arthur began searching the desk drawers and found them as messy as Merlin's desk. No doubt Merlin had his own unique organisation system, based on how he liked to arrange Arthur's belongings. He rustled through the papers and found a collection of battered quills buried beneath them.

He was about to close the drawer when one of the many notes caught his eye. One with his name amongst the words. There was a piece of string looped around it and when he reached for it discovered it was tied to a small wooden box, and there was more writing on it. He'd read enough of the speeches Merlin drafted for him to recognise his penmanship. He took it from the drawer and as he read the note his pulse quickened.

Gaius, If I don't make it home, could you give this to Arthur for me? I'm sure he'll want it back, and please tell him thank you, I'll forever be grateful for it. -Merlin P.S. In case you haven't found it yet, there's a letter for you in the book you gave me.

When he pulled the paper away Arthur recognised the little square box at once. With shaking hands, he opened it and took out the sigil bearing his mother's family crest, that he had given to Merlin so many months ago. He ran his fingers over the familiar engraved bird. It's edges had become smoothed over the years because of how often he used to do this. He tucked the letter away in his pocket, placed the sigil back in the box with care, and returned it to the drawer. He'd leave it there for Merlin to find when he woke up.

[mystycalypso]

grabbing you and shaking you bc u ars like one of three ppl who post abt the silly hello neighbor show. you are doing me specifically a great service in these trying times (being in a fandom with 0 content)

How it feels being one of the big 3 wtrb creators /j

But seriously tho, thank you so much.

I've mentioned it in passing to Kaydin a lot, but Hello Neighbor was the first fandom I was a part of (even before fnaf which has arguably had a bigger impact on my life as a whole). I remember way back in 2016 when I was just a wee lad with very little internet access and the just- joy the alphas brought me. I remember waiting patiently for ANYONE to make videos on the game, for MatPat's theories on it, and so on. Hell, I remember getting so upset about the final game that I swore off Hello Neighbor forever (you can guess how well that went, heck even at the time I couldn't keep away completely from Hello Neighbor 2)

But when I was in those early fandom spaces, like a lot of young artists probably do, I wanted to be up there, wanted to be one of the artists you recognize with their content about a certain series, yknow? And it's cool that while the Hello Neighbor Fandom today is quiet, it's still active enough to share my and Kaydin's art and theories and way WAY over-analyzing.

Maybe this show will be the push this franchise needs to get it back on the water, floating with the other indie series. I mean it certainly dragged me back in.

All this to say that it's so cool getting to be one of the artists making stuff to satisfy the hyperfixation of the rest of the fandom lol. And getting this ask has legit made my week <3

(It's for my own sanity too dw, if I bottled up all this hyperfixation I'd explode, even after dragging Kaydin into it. And that's not to mention my Senior Promise (tm) I've made lmao)

[figmentof]

it's about having something, someone, to lose

it's Ed saying "i don't fear anything" but takes the blame for the murder of Nigel and yells act of grace in terror when Stede's in front of a firing squad. it's him immediately going over to Stede and physically putting himself between Stede and the bullets, it's him signing his life and reputation as Blackbeard away in a heartbeat. anything for Stede

it's Bill never caring about anything other than surviving, his house dim and colorless and full of dust, his town run down and not maintained but openly admits he's terrified of growing old before Frank, how his immediate thought after getting shot is to make sure Frank isn't alone and will be protected, how he never could fathom living in a world without Frank

it's about loving someone so deeply that you live with the fear that you can't keep them safe from harm. and it's because of that fear that you love so fiercely and unapologetically, and pray to god or whatever higher power that it's enough

All the Stars in the Sky

(aka: I was lonely and made myself sad... )

Fives x Reader - Fives doesn't see a good outcome to his situation so he writes a letter to his cyar'ika just in case 💔

To all my Fives lovers out there, he gave Rex this letter specifically for you:

Hey Cyar'ika,

It's Fives. I guess by now you've seen the news. I can't imagine what you must think of me but I swear it isn't all that they make it out to be. You know me - I fight for the Republic, for you and my brothers. For the truth. No matter what you hear, please believe me. This plot to overthrow the Jedi, the Republic, and everything we believe in is so much bigger than just me. I've gotten way in over my head, Cyar'ika, and I'm scared. I'm scared they'll shut me up to hide the truth. I'm scared they'll take you away from me. Please believe I'd never leave you of my own accords. Believe in me. I love you, Cyar'ika.

I used to think that the day I became an ARC trooper was the happiest day of my life. But then I met you. When I first saw you in that pretty little dress sitting on a barstool at 79's, I had a whole thing planned. I had all the best pick-up lines ready to get you to go out with me but when I made my way over there, I saw the stars twinkling in your eyes and I couldn't speak straight and I fell off my chair. The only thing I could say then was "it looks like I've fallen for you." It was the dumbest line ever but you laughed. You laughed and it was the most beautiful sound I'd ever heard. Echo said you'd never say yes to going out with me after that, but you did. You did and I have no idea why. What made me so special?

Let's face it, I'm a clone - one of a million - I was never meant to live past this war. But you made me rethink that. I'm not so naive as to think I could have it all, but with you maybe I could have. We imagined our own little house out in the middle of nowhere with our three beautiful kids. You swear they'd look like me but I'd hoped they'd be as beautiful as you. I dreamed of wrapping you in my arms, finally having something of my very own that no one could ever take from me.

The reality of everything that's happened is so heavy right now, Cyar'ika and I'm not sure how this will end. I wish I could hold you in my arms one last time. If I have to die to fix this, I want you to know I died thinking of you. I died thinking of your lips on mine. Don't give up on me, Cyar'ika. I'll always be with you. Always. You can count on it. I'll tell Echo and Hevy, and all the boys up there hi for ya. I love you more than all the stars in the sky.

Your favorite ARC Trooper,

Fives

For the 500 request thingy:

Your choice of Riddler writing a love letter to your envisioned relationship!!

You alway write our requests and now I challenge you to write your own request 💜✨✨✨ huehuehue >:] (lighthearted)

-🐭💤

A/N: wha-what…what kinda uno reverse is this, Dormy?? Lmao this is super sweet though, I appreciate the thought and idea..and strangely…the challenge it was to actually do this. Y’all are going to see the absolute mess I am for BTAS Riddler so be forewarned lmao (or just how I crave validation and where my anxieties lie...rip)

BTAS Riddler - Love Letter for..me?

Hi there darling Ri, 

I hope this letter doesn’t cause any alarm for you. I was just reminiscing on our time together and I recalled how you mentioned you always wanted someone to write you a love letter. A true one, unsuspected and genuine. It felt like a good time to make that little wish come true for you, my dear. 

You have always been, and continue to be such a bright light. The brightest light, the perfect glow to chase away the darkness that sometimes plague my mind. My past of betrayal and deceit have left me wounded, wounds that I didn’t think could be healed entirely, until I met you. 

Your heart, how big it is, almost too big. I wish you’d let me take care of you or be kinder to yourself. I long for nothing more than for you to see the spectacular woman you are.Your creativeness always inspires me and no doubt others as well! Always kind, supportive, loving, and so sweet…I’ll never know what I did to deserve you. 

You’re probably shaking your head and scoffing, but I mean every word. We’ve been wed for how long now? You should know by now I’m a man of my word…

I just hope you know, that you are much more than enough. For your family, your friends, and beyond more than enough for me, darling wife. 

I promise to do whatever I can in my power to make you realize just how much you mean to me. Hopefully, one day you can see what me and everyone else sees for yourself. 

I love you, now, always, and forever. 

Your adoring husband, 

Eddie.

[mercilessobsessions]

After watching episode 11 for about the 200th time, I've come to the realization that I really wanna see Pete get shot.

Hear me out. Final battle. Pete is doing his job, protecting the main family. Vegas arrives, rabid with hurt and anger, thirsty for revenge.

They face each other, each holding a gun. But neither can shoot. They just stand there, staring into each other's eyes, feeling their feelings. They slowly lower their guns, lost in each other, lost in their memories.

But then Pete sees it out of the corner of his eye. Someone (is it Kinn? Porsche? Some random unidentified bodyguard?) pointing a gun at Vegas' back. He has no time to think, just reacts, throwing himself forward, shielding Vegas with his body. The bullet strikes and he collapses, bleeding, into Vegas' arms.

Pete looks up into Vegas' panicked face and asks him, between pained breaths, if he's hurt. And all Vegas can do is choke out his lover's name, and hold him, cling to him, beg him not to leave him all alone again. Because he suddenly gets it. His happiness is no longer attached to the wildly abusive fists of his father. But to the tender touch of the only person who has ever asked him if he is okay.

In this moment Vegas finally feels something real, and it fucking HURTS. He's blind to the world around him, blind to the shooting and carnage, his entire being focused on the pale, trembling body in his arms. He's breathless and desperate not to lose the man he loves all over again, helpless to do anything but watch as Pete's eyes slowly begin to close......

[running-in-the-dark]

it's so frustrating that the only times I could actually look for a new therapist are when I feel relatively good and fine. but when I'm feeling fine I don't think I need one.

"I haven't had any really bad obsessive thoughts in weeks, I haven't had to do any compulsions, I haven't been too scared to leave the house, I haven't been so depressed that I can't get up - obviously I'm fine!"

haha yeah right, that's funny :)

[sparkles-rule-4eva]

Here's the first part - snippet? - of my Sonic Frontiers one-shot! Entire thing is on Wattpad now! I'll leave the link at the end. Enjoy! :)

(SPOILER WARNING IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED/WATCHED THROUGH SONIC FRONTIERS)

"Sonic Frontiers: Anything for Them"

Sonic had always loved freedom.

It was one of the things that he valued the most in life. He hated being tied down anywhere. He loved his ability to go where he wanted, when he wanted. It was such a wonderful feeling, so wonderful that he wanted everyone to have such freedom.

That was one of the biggest reasons he was so determined to stop Eggman all the time. Eggman’s actions hurt people. Took their freedom. Rendered them powerless. He hated having to see the fear and hurt in their eyes, in the eyes of strangers he’d never talked to but vowed to protect.

Exploring Starfall Islands had been an . . . interesting experience so far. Between destroying the robots he came across, taking time to just look around and observe the beauty of the place, and getting a ton of one-on-one time with each of his friends . . . Well, exploring new places was always fun, but there was something distinctly bittersweet about this time around.

“I wanna share that love with the world.” Amy’s quiet words of longing rang in his mind. “Even if . . . it takes us far apart.”

He was excited for her. It was a good thing. Let her go off on her own for a while, do her own exploring, share her love with as many people as she could. He’d miss her, but it wasn’t a permanent thing. Again, he wanted her to have the same freedom he did.

“I’ll admit, I do envy your lifestyle. Freedom to go where you want, when you want.”

It wasn’t something he’d ever thought he’d hear Knuckles of all people say.

“So do it!” he’d instantly replied. “Get out there and live a little!”

“Maybe I could. But first I need to be back to normal.”

Knuckles was bound to Angel Island for most of his life, guarding the Master Emerald. Granted, he was more bound there by his own obligations as the guardian than anything else, but still. It was great that he was finally giving himself the opportunity to get out and do some exploring of his own. Neither of them knew what to do with the Master Emerald for that time, though Sonic had considered guarding it himself for the time Knuckles was out.

Knuckles was leaving, too.

Again, it wasn’t permanent.

But then there had been Tails. His little brother.

First it was “Am I a burden to you?”

Of course he wasn’t.

Then . . .

“When this is all over, I think I need to go it alone for a while. I can’t grow into my full potential if I always fall back on you.”

Those words, admittedly, had hurt more than the others. Yes, he was excited for Tails. He would never want to hold his little bro back from going his own way.

It just . . . hurt a little. It would take some getting used to, not having the little fox flying around with him, going to his lab and finding it empty, etc.

But he would let him go. It wasn’t permanent. Thank goodness it wouldn’t be permanent. And while he’d miss him, he was genuinely excited to see Tails grow and become more independent.

Except, in order for all three of his best friends to be able to carry out and live their dreams, they needed to be restored. Something only he could do.

He’d trashed the Titans already, thinking that would do it. But when Tails had run up to him after he’d taken care of the last one, he’d still been all glitchy and digitized. And all Sonic could feel was exhaustion.

According to the spooky sky voice, now all he had to do was shut down six towers. Sounded simple enough. It definitely sounded better than fighting a tower-sized robot that had the potential to kill him in all sorts of horrifying ways.

He stood at the base of the first, staring up at the top. He already felt ridiculously tired from everything else, but that probably had something more to do with the fact he’d already gone Super three times within the past . . . however long he’d been here (which couldn’t have been more than a week or two), and the weird cyber infection that had slowly been wearing him down more and more ever since he’d first started freeing his friends.

All he knew was that it was some kind of weird cyber energy that he kept absorbing, the same stuff that had been keeping his friends trapped. At first he’d thought it was some kind of boost, but not long after had realized how, well, painful it was getting.

With Amy it had been minor. With Knuckles it had been more noticeable, but still brief and manageable. With Tails it had actually driven him to his knees.

Sonic shook himself, taking a quick breath before speeding towards the platforms and rails that would help him climb the tower. Whatever the infection was, it didn’t matter. It was hard to deal with, now more than before, but he could handle some pain to save his friends. They were more than worth it.

Hey! I was looking through the asks memes and love the spring time ones! May I request 29: starting to heal for a platonic Grog and Pike (if you write platonic pairings)?

29. starting to heal ofc i do platonic ships! the friendships on cr are more important than the romantic relationships, imho. there's more info on what i write on my drabble masterpost here. i'm gonna set this one in tlovm.

Pike's been trying to get a second alone with Grog all night. She'd've thought that the Herd would be more upset by their leader being unmercifully slaughtered before their very eyes, but no, everyone's having a great time. She's never seen so many drunk goliaths in one place, and honestly, she's worried that the furniture in this bar isn't going to make it through the night. They've been monopolizing her best friend all night, plying him with more and more ale and playing the kinds of drinking games that Pike can only describe as ill-advised.

After Kiki has passed out face-down on the table and Scanlan has disappeared with gods know who doing gods know what, Pike finally manages to tug on Grog's shorts and steal his attention away from Zanror. "Pike!" he booms, scooping her up and plopping her onto his shoulders. "My bestest buddy is here!"

Pike laughs and pats his bald head. "Hey buddies. Got a second to talk?"

"Uh, Pike, I can't say a whole lot in one second."

"C'mon." And like steering a horse, Pike kicks her heels into his pecs to get him to stand and then tugs him by the ears to point him in the direction of a quieter corner of the bar. Once they're a bit away from the noise, Grog sets her atop a stack of ale barrels so they're more or less of a height. "So...how you feelin', Grog?"

Grog furrows his brow, really concentrating on the question. "Well...kinda sore, on account of the pounding I took. Also pretty drunk. A little horny. Why?"

Pike rolls her eyes. "I meant about your herd. It seems...well, it seems like things are kinda okay again."

"Well, yeah, I guess they are. Zanror's alright. He'll steer 'em where they need to go."

Wow. Pretty insightful, Pike has to admit. "And what about you?"

"What about me?"

She shrugs. "Where do you need to go?"

Grog seems confused by the question. "Like, to the bathroom?"

"Like...I don't know, Grog! It seems like you got your old family back. Old wounds are starting to heal. Maybe...maybe you'd want to give things a shot with them again."

She didn't notice she's curled in on herself until one of Grog's enormous fingers comes to lift her chin so that she's sitting straight again. "But Pike, you're my family. Where would I go without you?"

Pike sniffles, then launches herself around Grog's neck. He catches her easily with a laugh. "You're too serious sometimes, Pikey. It's you and me, remember? Best buddies."

"Yeah," Pike whispers, squeezing him tight. "Best buddies."

[ninjadeathblade]

But what if the spirit flowers you get when they go through the Everdoor were the flowers that Stella bought them when they were nearing the end because they were that spirit's favourite and she thought she might be able to see them smile one last time-
