reader waking up from a nightmare where aki dies and it's like a reoccurring thing, so when aki notices, he tries everything in his power to make sure she falls asleep and comforts her in any way that he can :,0
this is so sweet.... I had a thought about this before, because one of my headcanons is that aki has nightmares quite frequently because of his job as a devil hunter. so if you were to have regular nightmares, aki could really sympathize with that, and the both of you could help each other to sleep well.
the both of you would discuss your dreams every morning when you wake up... reassuring each other that they were just dreams, and it's okay, because you have each other. aki would promise you that he isn't going anywhere, while rubbing your back and holding you close, muttering softly into your ear, his voice smooth and comforting, it's okay, I'm right here. don't worry about anything, shh shh. don't cry. you would build the habit of always sleeping together because when you sleep holding one another, neither of you have as many bad dreams...

hey lovely girl💕 for the ask game please do 3, 5, 9, 17, 24, 28 and 38 (I'm being greedy haha but I'm nosey)
hey gorgeous 💚 for you, I'm happy to answer as many as you'd like:
3. 3 films you could watch for the rest of your life and not get bored of?
You can probably tell from most of my fics, I love rom coms and fluff:
✿ She's The Man: my sister and I watched this so much when we were younger, we even memorized the lines 💀 Early 2000s romcoms are elite. ✿ To All The Boys I Loved Before: just the first film, the second film sucked and I never ended up watching the third one. The first one though, so cute! My fic, ruin the friendship, is def inspired by it. ✿ The Princess and The Frog: my fave Disney princess film, aside from Tangled! A strong independent woman who also gets her man. Yes yes yes.
5. what made you start your blog?
I started out as a reader, liking and leaving comments on fics. Pretty sure I've left a few in some of your work. Anyway, it started with a fic idea I wanted to read but no one had done it so I took it upon myself to write stuff I wanted to read.
It's def inspired by Enzo too! Didn't see enough content of him so I exclusively write for him and Mattheo rn, might expand in the future.
9. tell a story about your childhood
My dad loved to take me and my sis to the park when we were younger. There was a little hill that we loved to roll down on, literally just lie down the grass and roll down. It's short and smooth, so definitely safe. The only thing is we'd get all gross and itchy afterwards, but we'd come back and do it all over again.
17. name 3 things that make you happy
My cats, reading, and writing! Key components for a certified cat lady.
24. what’s one thing you’re proud of yourself for?
Doing what's best for me even when it means making difficult decisions, choosing grief and putting myself through discomfort. It always pays off in the end.
28. do you collect anything?
I love special edition books! Especially those with designs on the edges (I'm obsessed). I have an OwlCrate subscription, so I get a signed special edition book and bookish items each month. It's my lil' monthly treat for myself.
38. fave song at the moment?
I've been obsessed with listening to Taylor Swift mashups these days. This one sounds like a movie soundtrack and this one has that popular TikTok audio ("you can hear it in the silence / Romeo save me"). So good!
Thanks for the ask! Love youuu 💚

FRUITS BASKET!! I remember seeing that in my feed too but apparently i Suck at checking things out </3 but omg what's shoujo and shonen? is it like action and romance? that's so interesting omg :0 I've not heard of toilet-bound hanako-kun but it sounds like a rom-comesque (? Is that even a word?) anime!! def gonna check it out :D
but omg I've also been feeding myself with sxf content by reading fanfic on ao3!! I've found some literal GEMS, i kid u not. like some of them could be canon and i wouldn't even bat an eye- they just fit the storyline so well :")

sorry for sending sm in an ask haha, but i hope u had/have a great day Alice!!! <3 - anime :)
^^ @ the other anon who’s getting into anime as well 🥰🥰
HAHAH yes fruits basket is v v cute !! :’) it’s a romance but also focuses a lot on family relationships and such 💗💗 it also has the fantasy element so it’s a lot of fun to watch :D i prefer the reboot honestly because it’s a better adaptation of the manga and actually follows the foreshadowing and storyline better, so check out that one if you plan on watching it !!
also shoujo is a genre of anime that’s more catered to audiences that like more romance and fluff, and shounen is a genre catered to audiences that like more action :’) usually the mangakas cater shoujo to females and shounen to males so shoujo leads are usually girls and shounen leads are usually guys :o
but yes toilet bound hanako kun is sort of a rom com !! 💗💗 it’s more fantasy and humor with some romance but it’s rlly fun and cute 🥰 lmk what you think if you end up watching it! also omfg send me those ao3 fic recs por favor because i love good story driven fics 🤩

Speak now, or forever hold your peace. (III)
Summary: You successfully convinced Eliza to stop the wedding. Unfortunately (or is it really), Eliza has come to a solution that she thinks would be best for everybody and it’s happening no matter what. 
Idia x GN!reader. Reader is MC, or takes the role of MC in this story.
(Part 1) (Part 2) (Part 3) (Part 4)
Warnings: none
As if by some miracle, he was still standing—even after you failed to convince Eliza how unnecessary a wedding would be. Now face-to-face with you on the altar, he still couldn’t believe how things turned out. This wasn’t  supposed to happen in real-life. Things like these were the stuff of movies. Or anime. Or dating sims. 
Ace, Epel, Rook, and Riddle were freed at your request. They, along with Ortho, were now arranging the paralyzed students into chairs, since Eliza refused to let them move for disrespecting the “couple”. When you ran out of excuses, some heavily opposed the impromptu wedding. Idia knew why: he wasn’t the only one in NRC who liked you like that. He’d been aware of some schoolmates’ attempts to romance you for a while now. Really, all you had to do was pick a route. 
How did he know, you might ask? It’s not like he secretly researched and listed down his competition so he could keep an eye on them. 
Alright… maybe he did. Heat crawled up to his neck at the thought of anyone finding out. 
“So… we’re getting married,” you said, pulling him out of his thoughts. You spoke slowly, as if testing the words in your mouth. Like him, you couldn’t quite wrap your head around the fake wedding just yet. You fidgeted more than usual—barely looking at his face or talking to him since you joined him at the altar. 
Were you thinking of the same thing? The inevitable kiss after you say your vows?
A weak hum was all he could manage. A smile appeared on your face, showing that you understood. You didn’t tell him to speak up; you never told him to. Somehow, the sight of that smile put him at ease like a recovery potion after a Despair battle ailment. It felt like another day in his room, the two of you hanging out and eating candy. 
“Nice suit, by the way.” 
“Th...anks?” Idia turned his head to the side. If he looked at you any longer, he might combust. Not that he didn’t already. Which was embarrassing btw.
You inched closer, making him gasp and jump back as multiple alarms went off in his head. Really… mind the Personal Space Bubble! Oh wait… that’s right. He’d stopped telling you off for getting too close long ago. 
Your face flashed a look of surprise, which quickly faded into concern as you observed him. When you whispered, your breath grazed his neck and ear. Hopefully his shudder escaped your notice. 
“You okay?” Immediately, you backtrack. “Wait, that was stupid. I know you’re not.”
“So many people watching...” he mumbled. His eyes quickly scanned the hall. “I can’t do this.” And he ended it there. You didn’t need to know how he felt about marrying you.
Again, you understood. Your smile faded and Idia found himself missing it immediately as it went. 
“Sorry, I...” you look down, fiddling with your fingers again. “I really should’ve tried harder to stop this.” 
Idia silently wished for dialogue options, because he didn’t quite know what to say to that. However, it looked like he didn’t need to. You took his hand and squeezed it, a determined fire flickering behind your eyes. 
“This’ll be over soon. Just hold on,” you said, squeezing his hand. “It’s just another quest, player 1.”
At the familiar nickname, he smiled in spite of his thumping heartbeat and everything that had happened. “Let’s do it, player 2.”
“Let us proceed with the ceremony!” Eliza, who had been watching the two of you closely, was eager for the wedding to commence. She clasped her hands in anticipation, looking no different from a normie watching a Rom-com. At her command, the wedding music played again—the same one as before. You gave Idia a look and shrugged. 
“Can’t believe we’re getting married to this music...”
“Sounds like doom, doesn’t it?” 
“Isn’t that what marriage is? Doom?” 
“Haha! E-exactly…” Normally, he would’ve agreed wholeheartedly. This time, he couldn’t help but wonder if that’s how you felt marrying him. 
The ghost officiant returned to the makeshift altar (maintaining a good distance from you). Each NRC student who had the misfortune of attempting a proposal sat in a chair, watching the event. You smiled reassuringly, eyes sparkling like embers. 
“We are gathered here today to unite these two lovers in the bonds of matrimony,” the officiant begins. The darkness of the hall gave him quite a sight: the flickering flames of his hair illuminating your face in blue light. Seeing it, when in the safety and darkness of his room, made him feel this warm, fuzzy feeling he thought was reserved for 2D characters. 
“Do you, Idia Shroud, take … as your lawful spouse, to have and to hold from this day forward—for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, keeping yourself solely unto them for as long as you both shall live? If so, answer " I do". 
This’ll never happen in real life. “I do.” I don’t have a chance, do I?
Confessing would only ruin the bond he had with you. If it meant never losing your friendship, then this fake wedding would be enough. 
He looked at you, standing in front of him as you were about to say your own vows and silently implored Mnemosyne to burn this scene into his memory forever. 
“Do you take Idia Shroud as your lawful husband, to have and to hold from this day forward—for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, keeping yourself solely unto him for as long as you both shall live? If so, answer "I do."”
It seemed that you were doing the same. Idia faltered under the intensity of your gaze. “I do.”
“I now pronounce you as spouses. You may now kiss!”
Here it comes. CODE RED! CODE RED!
The way Idia’s face burned rivaled that of his hair. He was becoming hyper-aware of the snickers coming from his schoolmates. Seeing you made him worse—the corners of your mouth twitched and your shoulders shook as you fought back a laugh. 
“Hey! We’re about to kiss and you’re laughing?!” he cried, covering his face. “Kill me now.”
Just like that, your quiet and tender moment was gone. You couldn’t hold it in anymore. Covering your face like he did, you erupted in giggles. Peeking out from the gaps of his fingers, Idia thought about #3 from the Signs of Attraction list he found on the Internet: 
“Another unconscious sign of attraction is mirroring, or matching another person's movements. When people are interested in one another, researchers have found that they tend to mimic each other's movements and gestures.”
Nah. Can’t be. He would have thought it was cute, if you weren’t laughing at his expense. 
“S-sorry! Your hair’s just—” another round of giggles interrupted you. “...burning really brightly!” 
“I can’t help it, okay?” he said, face red from annoyance and of course, the thought of what you were about to do. “Stop!” 
You tried to stop, but just the sight of his red face and hair sent you into another round of wheezing laughter. So hard you laughed, that an inhuman sound came out of you. Immediately, you stopped and looked at him, eyes wide. 
But it was Idia’s turn to lose it. 
“You… sound like… a Minecube pig!” he said, each word punctuated by uncontrollable peals of laughter. The wedding attendees had no choice but to watch on as you and your groom wheezed at the altar instead of kissing. 
“Baaya, what is wrong with them?” a confused Eliza asks. 
“I do not know, but it is apparent that they were made for each other.”
It wasn’t until the annoyed officiant cleared his throat that you and Idia stopped. You straightened up, wiping tears from your eyes as you tried to catch your breath. It was only then that your expression turned serious, but not without a few traces of your mirth from a few seconds ago. 
“Idia, we don’t have to—I’m really, really sorry about this, okay?” you whisper to him. “I know how much you value your firsts…”
“It’s fi—”
“...not that I’m assuming you haven’t had your first uh, kiss yet but—oh god, I uh… ” 
No dating sim—nothing could have prepared him for this situation. But strangely, laughing his ass off with you gave him a spark of courage that he rarely ever felt. In a moment, he would be kissing you. He hopes that courage lasts. 
“Let’s get this over with,” Idia surprised even himself with how steady his voice sounded.
“Oh…” 
You were still, staring at him open-mouthed for what seemed like a few minutes. He stared back, until you were forced to avert your gaze to the ground. Something told him that he was doing something right. A lone voice from the audience chanting “Kiss!” pulled the two of you back to reality. Someone was making an obnoxious kissing sound. Neither of you dared to look and see who it was. 
“Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!” the ghosts joined in on the chant. 
Shyly, you lifted your head back up. “O-okay. Here goes nothing!”
He tried recounting how first kisses were described by people on the Internet, from his manga, and the countless dating sims he played. Some said there were fireworks. Some said it felt electric. Some described the feeling as the rest of the world falling away. One swore it made them feel like the ground disappearing beneath their feet and before they knew it, they were floating. 
Should he close his eyes? Which side should he tilt his head? Where does he put his hands? How exactly do you kiss? Questions, panicky thoughts, and movie kissing scenes ran through his head like a computer reading code. When you leaned in, someone pressed ‘mute’ on the sounds in the hall and all that was left was him and you. 
When you held his face in your gloved hands, it was Error 404. He let his eyes flutter closed. When everything went dark, all he felt was the shy, feather-light brush of lips against the corner of his mouth. Not quite on his lips, just dangerously close. 
Purer than a first kiss, but more than just a friendly peck. The students of NRC witnessed Idia’s hair at its most fiery just the same. 
~~
To be continued. 
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA Characterization hard
Hehe, hope you liked this. Part 4, the finale, coming soon.

Taglist: @misnmatchedsox​ @monviemoo​ @love-beyond-words​ 
Part 1 || Part 2 || Part 3 || Part 4 || Part 5 || || Part 5.5 || Part 6 || Masterlist 
The blaring sound of a phone going off echoed through the bedroom as you sleepily reached out for it and took it off its charger. Squinting at the sudden brightness, you saw who was calling you and sighed. Right when you pressed the green button, the upbeat voice of your best friend could be heard. Still trying to wake up, you changed the call to be on speaker as you listened to Nishinoya ramble about his morning. Then you winced when he suddenly exclaimed about the new information he received from his fellow teammates during their morning practice.
“You’re tutoring the two idiots later today?!”
You yawned and stretched to get your body to feel more awake before replying, “Oh yeah...Hinata asked if they could squeeze in some more studying time before exams this week.”
“(Y/N)-chan, you’re a girl and you can’t just have two boys over when you’re home alone!”
You rolled your eyes and picked up your phone as you got out of bed. Making your way towards the kitchen, you smiled to yourself as you saw the plate of food your mom left. Taking a seat in front of the food, you settled down to enjoy your meal.
“You’re being overprotective Yu-nii. Just because our moms went on a trip together doesn’t mean you’re in charge of me.”
“UH YES I AM, I AM OLDER THAN YOU BY A YEAR.”
You laughed before digging into the food and said, “Okay and if it’ll ease your mind you can come over if you’d like and join us.”
“Ugh I wish I could, but I already promised Ryuu and Ennoshita that we would study together...we’re not trying to let you first years beat us!”
“Wait, how did you know they were coming over anyway?” You asked before taking a sip of your water.
“We had an early practice today and during our jog, Hinata was saying how excited he was to hang out with you.”
“Aw, that’s cute. He really is a ray of sunshine, isn’t he?” You snickered.
“(Y/N)-CHAN! Do you have a crush on Hinata?”
You burst out laughing and immediately said, “No I don’t Yu-nii, he seems like a brother to me at this point. Because of how innocent and bright he is, it makes me just want to take care of him like an older sister y’know?”
“Oh okay, that’s good to hear. Well, I’m glad BECAUSE I’M NOT READY TO LET YOU GO TO ANYONE ELSE. YOU’RE MY PRECIOUS LITTLE (Y/N)-CHAN.”
“There, there Yu-nii. You’ll always be my best friend, no one’s ever going to replace you. Even if I did get a boyfriend you’d just have to live with it.”
“Ugh whatever, I don’t even want to think about it yet. Anyways, I’m stopping by for dinner tonight. I’m going to need a breather after studying with the guys.”
Finishing up your breakfast, you hummed in response and gathered your dishes to clean them.
“What do you want for dinner? I’ll bring it over!”
“Oh~ if it’s your treat then I want takoyaki and yakisoba pan!”
“You’re so cheap.”
“Oh? So if you’re okay with paying more I want tonkotsu ramen, carbonara pasta, fried chicken, onigiri-”
“OKAY, OKAY TAKOYAKI AND YAKISOBA PAN IT IS. Geeze, you’re more simple than I thought.”
“I’m being easy on you, Yu-nii.”
“Alright, I got it. I’m about to go over to Ryuu’s house so let me know if Hinata or Kageyama do something you don’t like. We’ll be there in a flash to whip those two in shape.”
“Yeah, yeah~ take care Yu-nii.”
“You too (Y/N)-chan, I’ll let you know when I’m on my way later. Bye-bye!”
You smiled to yourself as you dried your hands and put away the dishes. It was always nice to know that Nishinoya would always be looking out for you even if he did so in such outgoing ways. His positive personality always lifted up your spirits especially since you were the more reserved one between the two of them. Taking a look at the clock the time for the boys to come over was nearing, so you decided to go ahead and get ready before cleaning up the apartment.
‘I wonder how today is going to go?’
---
Hinata and Kageyama were walking side by side as they made their way towards your area. The two had met up at the intersection they usually split up from to walk together since they didn’t want to awkwardly show up and make a fool out of themselves in front of you if they had shown up by themselves.
“Hey Kageyama, I wonder what her room looks like? Do you think it’s all frilly and pink like on TV?”
“I don’t know.”
“I hope she doesn’t think we’re even more stupid since we’ll be studying with her longer.”
“Who knows?”
“Kageyama, you also need to be more welcoming to her.”
“Shut up, Hinata. I already know what I need to do.”
“Are you sure, you seem pretty scary towards her if you ask me.” He laughed.
Kageyama clicked his tongue before slapping the back of Hinata’s head. “You’re just imagining things, you idiot.”
He quickly fastened his pace to get a head start and the boys began another race to see who would reach there first. In a matter of seconds, they were standing in front of your apartment complex and Hinata called you to let them in. The boys made their way up and Kageyama knocked on the door to let you know that they had officially arrived. They could hear your footsteps approaching and their eyes widened at your appearance. Your hair was out of its usual braid and you were wearing an oversized graphic t-shirt that was tucked into a pair of light denim high-waisted shorts.
“Hinata, Kageyama-kun I’m glad you guys made it.” you smiled at them before walking into the apartment.
“H-H-Hi (L/N)-san! T-Thanks f-for h-having u-us!” Hinata stuttered as he clumsily took off his shoes.
“Y-Yeah, excuse us for the intrusion,” Kageyama said softly as he followed Hinata towards the living room.
“We’ll be studying in my room if that’s okay with you guys?” you asked as you began to make some tea for them.
“A-A-Are you sure?” Hinata asked as he blushed.
“Hinata, relax. You don’t have to be so formal. I thought we’re all friends at this point.” you replied as they watched you rummage around for their cups.
“Yeah, I guess you’re right, haha. My bad…” Hinata sheepishly said.
“It’s the room at the end of the hall, make yourselves comfortable! I’ll be there once the tea is finished.”
The boys followed your instructions and entered the room. They were surprised to find it very minimal. The walls were painted white with black trimmings and were filled with medals and certificates from the years that you played volleyball. There was a bed at the corner of the room next to your balcony and a desk that sat at the center and against the opposite wall. An array of polaroids were posted on the wall where your floor desk was. It had your laptop and textbooks neatly on top with a floor chair and your blazer hanging over it. On its side was a shoe rack and had a volleyball sitting on the corner of its top rock. A white coffee table sat in the middle of the room on top of a black rug with a couple of cushions for guests to sit on. Your closet was closed and located nearest by the door; painted with a chalkboard medium that was filled with all sorts of critiques for volleyball, self reminders, and important dates to keep an eye out for. Along the wall where your bed was, there was a body-size mirror snuggled on the opposite corner and a bookcase near it. You had a record player sitting on the floor with a couple of your favorite albums sitting in its holder.
“Woah...it’s so organized,” Hinata muttered as he let his bag drop by the coffee table and wandered over towards the wall where all your medals and certificates hung.
Kageyama let his eyes wander as he took in all the small things that you kept for yourself. He made his way over towards your desk and looked at the different memories you captured through your Polaroid. There were many of you and Nishinoya throughout the years from early childhood days to when you went to middle school together. He noticed that if you smiled hard enough, there was a small dimple that would appear on your left cheek. His eyes softened as he continued to see small tidbits of your life before you came to Karasuno. There were funny ones with your old teammates and a couple of photos with you and the upperclassmen. The one that mainly caught his attention was one that Nishinoya probably took for you. You were surrounded by your teammates as you held up the national trophy with happy tears streaming down your face, sitting in a wheelchair to celebrate your victory.
‘She really loved volleyball, huh?’ He thought to himself as Hinata walked up to him and looked at the photos as well.
“Do you think we’ll make it on her wall someday?”
Always leave it up to Hinata to voice some of his own personal thoughts that he could never say out loud. He shrugged and went to go sit down to get ready for their session. Hinata joined him as well just as you walked through the door with some snacks and their tea. As the three of you got out your notebooks, Kageyama couldn’t help but peek at the polaroid wall once more wishing that he’d have a special photo with you soon.
---
Before you knew it, the sun had already begun to set and Hinata freaked out. He was supposed to be on his way home already to look after his baby sister and Kageyama also needed to leave in order to pick up some food for his family. You walked them down towards the entrance and was taken aback to see both of them bow to you in thanks.
“Man, you’re a lifesaver! (L/N)-san, thanks for helping us study on a Saturday!” Hinata exclaimed with a bright smile on his face.
“Thanks,” Kageyama said and nodded at you.
“Sure, let’s do our best on the exam!” You smiled and Kageyama’s eyes slightly widened as he saw your dimple.
‘Cute…’ He thought as you and Hinata engaged in another conversation about your time as a volleyball player. Kageyama sighed and shook his head to get rid of those thoughts. He didn’t understand why his attention slowly shifted towards you whenever he was in the same space as you. His main priority was to focus on getting better as a setter so Karasuno can beat Seijoh the next time they plays against them.
“Oh? The two idiots are still here?” Nishinoya asked as he walked up to the trio with a plastic bag filled with food slung over his shoulder.
“Noya-senpai!” Hinata exclaimed.
“I hope she was a good teacher to you guys?” He smiled at them before taking his place next to you.
“Yeah! I’m gonna ace that exam for sure now! I think!”
Nishinoya burst out laughing and went to slap Hinata on his back for some encouragement. “Just as I suspected, Hinata! You’re always so positive and let’s hope that what you’re actually saying is true! Or rather, I won’t let (L/N)-san’s kindness go to waste!”
“Kindness…'To have a caring heart. A term used to express a caring attitude one has for another.’” Kageyama muttered as he continued to mentally go over what they had been studying for.
Nishinoya stared at him before laughing again. “You better pass too or else you both won’t be able to go to Tokyo. That and you would have wasted my precious best friend’s time.”
You sweatdropped and tried to calm them down. “Now, now let’s have some faith in them Yu-nii. You’re basically in the same boat as them so don’t be trying to act so superior towards them.”
Nishinoya pouted while Hinata and Kageyama gave you thankful looks. You sighed as your best friend jumped onto you and looked at the other boys. “Have a safe trip home Hinata-kun, Kageyama-kun.”
They waved goodbye and Nishinoya let go of his grip on you. He cheekily held up the food he brought and stuck his thumb towards your apartment. “Let’s go eat shall we?”
You playfully rolled your eyes and made your way up to settle down for the night. Once all of the food was laid out in front of you, Nishinoya was about to play the movie you were planning on watching when out of nowhere your cell phone rang. You picked it up and was surprised to see who called you.
“Kageyama-kun?” you answered and Nishinoya sprang up from his seat, pointing at your phone with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
You let out a small gasp but Nishinoya was too quick for you as he tackled you, trying to get the phone out of your hand. On the other side of the line, Kageyama weirdly looked at his phone when he heard the chaos happening in your apartment. He raised an eyebrow at the clatter of the phone and slowly brought the phone back to his ear in time to hear Nishinoya over the line.
“HUUUUH?! KAGEYAMA?! LET ME ANSWER- WHAT ARE YOU- HEY DON’T SLAP ME AWAY- (Y/N)-CHAN!”
“Um...is everything okay?”
You kicked Nishinoya off of you and quickly ran to your room. Locking the door behind you, you walked towards the bed and plopped down onto it.
“Yeah, everything’s fine, sorry about that. Yu-nii was being annoying.” you laughed, slightly out of breath.
“...R-Right…”
Smiling in amusement, you shook your head and caught your breath. You mindlessly kicked your legs and asked, “Um...is there anything you needed, Kageyama-kun?”
“I...um...accidentally left my notebook.”
You sat up and glanced towards the blue notebook that had fallen off of the table. You went to go pick it up and said, “Oh yeah, I see it. Did you want me to give it to you tomorrow?”
“Actually...I’m downstairs…I wanted to try and study more tonight.”
Running towards your balcony, you looked down to see Kageyama looking down and then scuffed the ground with his foot. You giggled over the phone and leaned against the railings.
“Kageyama-kun, look up.”
His eyes widened as he heard you and looked up to see you smiling at him from your balcony. He felt something in his stomach that he only felt when his nerves were high during matches. As he racked his brain for the answer, you waved him up to signal that he could come to pick up his notebook. Clutching the strap of his bag, he swallowed down the nerves and couldn’t believe that he was nervous around you.
“What’s this?”
Kageyama was greeted by Nishinoya and a teasing smile. “Are you trying to get at my best friend, Kageyama?”
The setter clicked his tongue and was about to retort back only to have you intercept and push Nishinoya out of the way. You sheepishly smiled at Kageyama as you lightly pushed him towards the hallway and followed him out. He watched as you glared at the libero and closed the front door, then sigh in relief before turning your attention towards him.
“Sorry about Yu-nii I know he can be overbearing sometimes.” you said while holding out his notebook.
“I-It’s fine...I’m used to it because he’s like that at practice.” He mumbled and gently took it out of your grasp to put it inside of his bag.
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome, I can walk you down too.” you offered and the two of you began to make their way towards the entrance.
A short and comfortable silence fell and Kageyama was trying to figure out how to start a conversation with you. You looked up and smiled to yourself when you noticed his eyebrows were furrowed in concentration. Trying to help him relax from worrying so much about his social nature, you decided to start the conversation.
“Are you nervous for the exam?”
Kageyama looked down at you as you looked in front of them with your arms behind your back and he shrugged. “Not really, you’ve been a lot of great help to us.”
“That’s good.”
Another silence fell and you finally reached the entrance. You stood in front of him and rocked on your heels, waiting to see if he would say something. He cleared his throat and looked towards the street before he asked, “Have you decided if you’re going to be our manager or not?”
You hummed in thought as you guys ended up looking at the strangers that passed by. “I’m still thinking about it. There are still some things I need to figure out.”
He peered down at you before readjusting his bag and said, “(L/N)-san, at this rate, you can’t move forward. If you want to do this, you have to just believe in yourself that you are able to.”
“Yeah...I guess you’re right.” you softly said as once again, Kageyama knocked some sense into you as if he could read right through the barricade you put up for yourself.
“...And I’d like to have you as our manager too…” Kageyama quietly added.
Your eyes widened as he rubbed his neck, a slight tinge of red could be seen on his cheeks. You chuckled and warmly smiled at him.
“Well if you put it that way, I guess I can’t say no to this offer, huh?” you teased. “I’m kidding, but really though, thanks Kageyama-kun. I guess I can’t let you down after all that you’ve said to me. Just wait for me to settle some things first.” ‘Like going to Ukai-san’s store tomorrow to talk about my past and how we can incorporate my skills into your practice…’ you thought to yourself as a million of new ideas began to form in your head. It also reminded you that there was finally something could do that would help the team raise money for their bus.
His eyes softened and a faint smile could be seen on his face. “You’re welcome, (L/N)-san.”
You smiled widely and excitedly tugged on the strap of his bag. Kageyama raised an eyebrow at you. “In that case, there’s something I need from you and Hinata for help.”

Hi friend! So I thought I would send you a recap of books/what I thought of them twice a month that way I don’t spam your inbox constantly and that way it isn’t so long each time! So here are my October reads thus far :)
-Alone With You in the Ether by Olivie Blake: this book was beautiful and it blew my mind away. I still constantly think about Aldo and Regan’s love story. Truly this book was perfection to me. I highly recommend it-also suggest if you read it to read the acknowledgements too they made the story even better and made me tear up. I could talk about this book forever it was a 5 star read for me
-Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas: I finally finished book 1 it took me around 3.5 months to get through but it finally happened. I have not started book 2 but I will be soon.
-Three Hard Lessons by Nikki Sloane: It is book 2 in a purely smut series. It was good, I enjoyed book 1 better but this one was still really hot. I would recommend the series if you like purely smut books, but if you need plot with your smut I would not recommend it.
-The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling: a rom com with witches!! It was so cute and such an easy fun read for October
-The Hating Game by Sally Thorne: I already sent you an ask telling you how much I loved that one-SO good
-Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco: I enjoyed this book for the most part-like a powerful witch and a sexy demon prince?? That’s exactly up my alley! And I loved it for most of the book, the world building was easy and it was fun. My only real con was the ending was so anticlimactic it did not make me excited for book 2 at all-but I will be reading it since it just came out and it’s NA now and from what I can tell people really like it!
Currently reading:
-Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren (which I am obsessed with so far)
-Lingus by Mariana Zapata (I am enjoying it is so funny)
-A Lesson in Vengeance by Victoria Lee (which I am hating I would have DNFed it but I’m buddy reading it so I am struggling through but more on that once I finish it)
-One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston (which is great! It’s taking me awhile since it’s a physical copy so I don’t read it as much)
See you at the end of the month!! Hope all is well
-ACOTAR anon
Hi there, darling friend! I am so here for your book updates! :D :D
Alone With You in the Ether is only $2.99 on Kindle so consider that one bought and officially on my tbr pile. I love reading the acknowledgements page at the end of books. Sounds like this one may require some tissues, however...🥺
You know, I feel like with ToG people either fly through it or it takes them forever to read. I fall into the latter category, which is ironic because I tend to tear through books like that. Oh well! I hope you're able to get into the story more as you keep reading. They might fly by for you.
People have been screaming about Kingdom of the Cursed and Kingdom of the Wicked everywhere lately. I actually almost bought both books when I was out the other day because, hey, who doesn't love a witch/sexy devil combo around Halloween time? It sounds like the perfect genre aesthetic for October. However, the bookstore only had 1 copy of each left and one was in paperback while the other was hardback. I couldn't bring myself to buy a mismatched set. I just couldn't haha.
Christina Lauren hasn't disappointed me yet! I haven't read Love and Other Words (added to tbr lol) but I absolutely Josh and Hazel's Guide to Not Dating. In a Holidaze was cute as well. It's one of those adorable holiday romances that gives you all the warm and fuzzy Christmas feels. I'm eager to check out The Soulmate Equation by them at some point, too. I believe I own both The Unhoneymooners and My Favorite Half-Night Stand.
Oh gosh, is A Lesson of Vengeance really that bad? I'm curious to know what you hated so much about it.
Is Lingus the first book you've read by Mariana Zapata? She's a popular name that's been floating around for a while. I need to peek into her stuff here soon. I have From Lukov with Love somewhere around-abouts.
Glad to hear you like One Last Stop. McQuiston seems to be a consistently good storyteller. That book has garnered mostly positive reviews so far, I think.
So far this month I've read six books:
-The Orphan at Cemetery Hill by Hester Fox (Gothic fiction. Cool premise but not my favorite. Didn't care for it much. Her previous two books were better.)
-Carrie by Stephen King (It's a modern classic for a reason. Loved the structure because it's told in newspaper clippings, book excerpts, etc. Inventive!)
-Stardust by Neil Gaiman (Loved it. It's essentially an adult fairy tale and it's full of magic and wonder. Gaiman is a wizard)
-Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas (Liked it but the fantasy plot wasn't as tight/developed as I wanted it to be. Great LGBTQ+ rep, though)
-The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling (Witchy and cute!)
-The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides (Mystery/thriller that blew my mind!!! I avoided it for a while because it had so much hype--I regret that decision. I really, really do.)
Happy reading, anon! I hope the rest of your month goes swimmingly.
xx Ashlee Bree

all i ask [peter parker x f!reader]
summary: You question your true feelings for Peter after missing out on five years of your life.
wc: 2400ish.
themes: angst(ish), fluff, happy endings, best friends to lovers trope, mention of dermatillomania, existential questionings...
a/n: this is the first x reader that i have ever written, so sorry in advance if it’s awkward:’’’) english also isn’t my first language, so please do hit me up if i make any mistakes/some things sound wrong! still, i hope that some of you out there will still like this lil thing. i just want to keep peter in my pocket gawd what a bby:’’’’’’’( p.s. title is a song by adele! just had to name this that cuz it unexpectedly came into my playlist while i was writing this and the song just fit so well that it shocked me haha
requests are open! & pls don’t forget to like and reblog, thank you! c:
THIS TAKES PLACE AFTER ENDGAME, RIGHT BEFORE FFH. IT EXCLUDES THE LOVE STORY BETWEEN LIZ & PETER IN HOMECOMING. 
available on ao3.
The rom-com flickered on the screen in front of your and Peter’s eyes, the only light illuminating the small living room.
Your legs were sprawled on top of Peter’s own, your arms becoming a bit numb from the fact that you haven’t moved them from their cramp inducing position for the past fifteen minutes. It wasn’t your fault— the small sofa could only leave you and Peter enough space to lounge about.
He had invited you over for some much needed “hang out” time. Considering the fact that both of you had missed out on five years of your life, you had suggested you both catch up on all of the movies the two of you had missed; but one thing led to another and now you were both watching late 90’s and early 2000’s films. 
You were surprised, and maybe even mildly offended, when Peter had said that he had never watched Mean Girls nor Clueless. The boy who spew out pop comic references every other second had never watched the classics for every teenage girl? The blasphemy!
You fiddled with the fluffy throw covering your legs and partially, Peter’s. Your attention wasn’t really on the movie anymore, you’d seen it multiple times. Could probably recite it by heart, you thought, if you concentrated hard enough.
Speaking of concentration, your eyes inadvertently found their spot upon Peter’s face. It was quite funny, and maybe even adorable if you wanted to go that way, how concentrated the geeky boy was over such a cliché film. You had never once thought, with all of the years that you had known him, that he would listen and take Cher Horowitz’s words to heart.
Peter didn’t notice your gaze, and so you took that as an unspoken permission to roam your eyes over his features: the small lines already appearing beside his eyes, a tell-tale sign of how much he smiled— or at least, tried to, these days. There were those chiseled cheeks and the sharp jawline that he somehow managed to maintain despite eating delivery food every other day. (You can’t blame May, she tries her best, really; but sometimes Thai or Chinese is just way more palatable.) His nose, a bit crooked, from an ”accident.“ (You still don’t really know the exact details about that one, and frankly, you think it would hurt just hearing about it.) Soft curls of his brown hair fell over his forehead, messy and barely brushed.
Truly, you could probably spend a whole hour just staring at him. It’s weird, you know, who the hell stares at their own best friend for long periods of time? Well, MJ probably does, but then again she draws people most of the time so that’s socially allowed... and well— she’s MJ. She just… does that. You suppose.
Maybe she does have a point, you mused. People-watching seemed fun, seeing the way that people processed information was interesting, but you couldn’t really imagine doing that to anyone— anyone else but Peter, at least.
You loved Peter. It wasn’t even a question. Truly, you did— he was family. However, after the Snap, you started to question how you truly felt about him.
Did you ‘love’ him? You had asked yourself that question multiple times already. Then again, he was cute, goal-oriented, stubborn, loyal, smart, geeky, strong... (not just physically, between his difficult childhood and what you both had just gone through, you think that he may just be the strongest person that you know, mentally.) He knew how to make you laugh, how to make you feel safe… God, he was your exact type. 
However, you had always put your feelings aside ever since you came back from the dead. What if it was just your mind craving for affection, afraid that you would never be able to experience the love that you had always wanted? Were you just terrified of the thought of not living your life to the fullest, that you started to ’love’ the first person to have ever given you warmth, just because the choice to do so was taken away from you? 
Did you actually love him in that way? Would you still have loved him in that way, even if that purple fucking raisin didn’t come out of the fucking sky and take you both away from reality without even asking? Were you just blindsided? Were you wearing rose-coloured glasses?
What type of love for him did you feel, exactly?
It didn’t really help that Peter was way more clingy and touchy now. Sure, you were best friends even before then, but you never really touched each other so often before. His actions only further spiraled your pondering.
His hands seemed to linger more on your shoulders, nowadays. Now, he would, absentmindedly, lay his hands on your thighs while you were talking. Now, his hugs were tighter, warmer, and always included both of his arms— unlike those casual, one armed hugs that you would give each other while saying goodbye after school, right before you both ceased existing.
While talking, his eyes seemed to stare straight into yours, which always made you falter with your words before you shook his gaze off. Once, you saw him fixating his eyes on your lips while you vented to him about a mathematical formula that gave you a hard time. 
He never really did that before— whenever you didn’t understand something, he would always just give you a small grin before shaking his head and finding a way to better explain the topic to you. At first, you thought that maybe he just had a lot on his mind, that he was just staring into space… 
Or maybe, just maybe, he loved you. In that way.
Though, now that you thought more about it, maybe he just craved affection like you did. He went through a lot. His life was never devoid of danger, and it wasn’t questionable to want comfort after all of the things that he had gone through. Did he truly feel that way about you, or did he only see you as a comfort tool? You wouldn’t be angry if he did, out of all the people that you knew that deserved more reassurance and love, he was definitely on top of the list. 
You didn’t mind. You understood.
Was he in the same boat as you? 
You startled yourself away from your thoughts when Peter suddenly retracted his body further back into the couch, as if he wanted to bury himself in it. His brows were furrowed, nose scrunched, lips curled up in disgust; though to your relief his eyes were still glued to the screen and he hadn’t just seen you checking him out. You chuckled at the unexpected reaction, “What’s gotten you so worked up?”
Peter shook his head from side to side, as if that would help him from his current situation. “I get that they aren’t really related, but it’s just— weird.” He replied. 
Intrigued, you shifted your eyes over to the screen, and was welcomed by Cher and Josh kissing. You laughed at Peter’s disgust.
“How is it weird? They’ve had— like, very evident tension for half of the movie, Pete.” You replied, eyes watching the way Josh held Cher’s face in his hands. As much as you would never admit it, your stomach fluttered at the scene. “Don’t tell me you didn’t expect it to happen.”
Peter groaned. “It’s not that I didn’t expect it to happen, it’s just— Josh is what, almost twenty or something? And Cher is our age!” He rattled off. “I’m having flashbacks to when I learned that Luke and Leia were actually related.” 
You shook your head and let out a snort. Typical Peter, always finding a way to reference Star Wars.
“It’s just a lil’ kiss scene Pete, don’t get so worked up about it.” You chuckled. You let out a dreamy sigh, your lip unknowingly curling into a small smile. Truth be told, you've always wanted something so passionate yet so soft like that to happen to you. 
You couldn’t help but let the next words tumble out of your mouth. “Isn’t it romantic though? The fact that the person that Cher has been searching and looking for so hard was actually just right there.”
“Always there…” Your voice slowly found itself becoming quieter, until it was only a ghost of a whisper. “Right by your side.”
You felt your cheeks grow hot. What the fuck was all that sudden sentimental bullshit, Y/N? You thought to yourself.
You hoped that Peter just didn’t pick up on what you had just said. The movie was loud enough to cover it, right?
With a reassuring breath, mostly to yourself, you turned your gaze back to Peter’s face.
Only to find him staring back at you.
Fuck, what were you thinking? With his enhanced senses, of course he would’ve heard what you had said.
Your breath got caught in your throat as your brain almost short circuited from the unexpected eye contact. His stare was unrelenting; from the dim light of the television, you can see his dilated irises, swimming with what you can only assume was longing… and hope.
The air suddenly seemed thick with tension. What kind it was? You weren’t really sure, but the movie and its noises were now just background noise and lighting. From the corner of your eyes, you see Peter’s Adam apple bob up and down as he opened his mouth to speak.
“Y/N…” He started, slowly, seemingly unsure of how to word his sentence. You mustered up a small bit of courage and sent him a small smile, patiently waiting for his brain to catch up with his mouth. It was one of his quirks that you adored so much, how much he struggled with the right words to say, because he knew the gravity of them; even if he did end up just spewing them out in the end.
“I— I don’t really know how to say this exactly, but,” Peter chewed on his bottom lip. “God I just— I just need to man up and say it because it’s been on my mind ever since I came back and I don’t think I can put it off any longer because I’m scared that you’ll disappear again and that I’ll never have the chance to say the truth and I—“ He stopped in his tracks, seemingly running out of words to say. His head dropped to look at his lap, as he started fidgeting with his hands and picking at his cuticles. A nervous tick that you recognized.
You straightened up from your lounging position, and slowly reached out your arms to lay your own hands on top of his, effectively gaining his attention and stopping his quite destructive habit. Bit by bit, he faced you once more; albeit now his eyes seemed to be more glassy.
“Y/N,” He took a shaky breath. “You— you mean so much to me.“ His eyes stared straight through you, and by now you felt your eyes start getting teary too.
“When it was happening I— all I could think about was how I felt about you. I— I felt so fucking selfish. I didn’t even think about Aunt May— or Ned, or MJ. All I thought about was how much I regretted not telling you how I actually felt about you sooner— that I’ll never be able to tell you how much I actually fucking loved you—“
Instinctively, you cut him off with your index placed on his lips. Now it was your turn to let out a shaky breath as your hand descended and found itself laying once more on Peter’s own.
Peter loved you. Even before the snap. Even before you disappeared.
The sight of Peter in front of you: vulnerable, hair ruffled, cheeks and nose and the tips of his ears red, his eyes watering as he poured his heart out to you was the moment that answered all of your doubts from before.
That was when you realized that you loved him, too. Truly. Without a doubt.
You loved him before everything went to hell, you still love him now, and fuck, you would still love him even if you hadn’t died. You weren’t wearing rose-coloured glasses, hell, far from it. You were seeing everything clearly. You were seeing everything just the way that they are.
You opened your lips, and a strangled but genuine giggle came out. “Pete, I love you too. I’ve loved you since— fuck, I can’t even remember when I actually started fucking loving you. You’ve been such a constant in my life that I questioned myself whether I truly loved you romantically, because I’m also a fucking idiot that thought that the type of love that I had for you was only platonic. Turns out they’re both one and the same.” You were laughing now, with a few hiccups here and there from the hot tears streaming down your cheeks.
“And shut up— you aren’t selfish,” With a new wave of courage, you lifted up one of your hands again and cradled his face. He leaned into it, impulsively, sniffling. “You’re one of the most selfless people that I know, hell, you put yourself in danger for people that you don’t even fucking know. I… I honestly think you could use more selfishness sometimes.” You laughed, softly, trying to regain a bit more composure with the tidal wave of emotions washing through you.
Peter, thankfully, found your quip funny. He snorted, shaking his head, as he lifted the sleeve of his Midtown Tech hoodie up to wipe at his tears. He wiped yours too, and you thanked him with a genuine smile.
All hearts now bared, you both just stared at each other, not really knowing what else to say nor do. From what you could tell, the movie was over now, the ending scene just slowly rolling in as it always does.
You opened your mouth, about to break the silence, when Peter beat you to it.
“Can I kiss you?”
A chuckle escaped your mouth before you could reply properly, and a huge grin overtook your face as your cheeks heated up once more. You squeezed his hands, and nodded.
Peter leaned in, and you had never felt more at peace.

Fic Recs!
Sorry this took a while to compile, but here you go, just in time for your birthday @chocochub!
I went ahead and tried to describe any triggers or reasons for the rating (sex vs. violence). I’m sorry if I missed anything that makes you uncomfy that‘s the last thing I want!
Also I got really sleepy around the time I was formatting this so sorry if there’s any errors with links, grammar, or trigger warnings. I’ve tried to be as thorough as I can, but many of these I’ve finished over a year ago and can’t recall every theme or possibly upsetting event :(
Red Sky in Morning by GinForInk
Rating: E for Sex, Violence and Loss of Limb
Relationships: TaeJoon, YoonKook
Themes: Pirate AU, Curse AU, Adventure, Supernatural, Mystery, Horror
Summary: Captain Namjoon's cursed crew searches the Caribbean for a ship that can save them, and Namjoon's own men have more magic than they let on.
My notes: Even though there’s sex, it’s less smut and more romantic/stress relief than purposefully pornographic. Very heavy on Supernatural and Adventure. Characters are written very well! Definitely a favorite of mine.
Hijacker’s Island by Gobi17
Rating: T for semi-graphic violence and attempted sexual assault from a villain.
Relationships: None
Themes: Hijack Gone Wrong, Plane Crash, Island Survival, Befriending the Baddies, Psychological Thriller, Mystery, Action
Summary: Jungkook's flight home ends in disaster as a group of hijackers take over the plane, and events quickly spiral out of control.
My Notes: I really loved this one. It was an interactive story where the audience was able to choose what choices Jungkook (the main character) would make. His survival depended on the answers, and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. There is a lot of platonic character bonding, so no sex, however there is a bad guy that fixates on Kookie that later attempts to sexually assault him. If this is triggering to you please do not read.
Butterfingers by jincherie
Rating: G
Relationships: RM/Reader
Themes: Co-workers, Teachers, Hybrids, Penguin-Hybrid Joon, Heavy Fluff, Penguin Courting uwu
Summary: He had you at the very first pebble he gave you.
My notes: Extremely cute. I’m not usually on for Reader fics as they’re usually rife with unneeded smut and OOC-ness, but I love Namjoon being an awkward, unusual Hybrid and I LOVE cute, animalistic behavior.
Do Not Meddle In The Affairs Of Dragons, For You Are Crunchy And Taste Good With Ketchup by Runchrandom
Rating: T
Relationships: OT7, but Namjoon-centric
Themes: Supernatural, Humor, Crack treated seriously, part of a series, Dragon-Joon
Summary: In which Namjoon is a man who doesn't know what he wants, then accidentally figures it out while turning into a very large lizard.
My notes: Part of a very cute and funny series of Supernatural boyband BTS, navigating their inherent differences and similarities. Also lots of protective Dragon Namjoon taking good care of his Treasures UwU
you have 1 new message by bazooka
Rating: T
Relationship: NamJin (my OTP)
Themes: Humor, Text Fic, Imbedded Pictures, Suspense/Mystery
Summary:
r u n c h r a n d a.
fuck
this is going to sound like the weirdest shit
okay look i used ur selcas to catfish and this older dude is gonna buy me stuff but i have to send him a selca with a peace sign
~ * ~ pingkeu jin ~ * ~
hahahahahahaha wtf
My notes: As someone who steers clear of text fics, this one I actually loved! Very funny and clever, the developing relationship between NamJin is hilarious. It also turns into a mystery/thriller???
(You can only read it if you have an Ao3 account as it’s locked to users only)
Vending Machines and Bad Ideas by smiles
Rating: G
Themes: Blind Dates, Meet Cute, Humor, Rom-Com
Relationships: 2Seok
Summary: Hoseok needed to focus, regroup. He needed to evaluate the situation, weigh his options, and find a solution. He needed to work through this like the capable adult he was. He needed to get his hand out of this stupid vending machine.
My notes: 2Seok is a guilty pleasure of mine lol. This was cute, funny and sweet.
Human by SunShineSwag
Rating: E for Graphic Violence, Many Murders, Sex, Mentions of Past Abuse and Temporary Character Death
Themes: Serial Killer/Dexter AU, Suspense/Mystery, Romance, Crime, Fluff, Hobi Teaches Yoongi How To Emotion™
Relationships: SOPE, NamJin, side VMinKook
Summary: During the day, Yoongi works for the police as a forensic expert.
But when night falls, he becomes a nightmare.
A serial killer.
My notes: Just finished this one and wow I’m so in love! It seems really intimidating from the tags and summary, but I swear it is also super ooey gooey soft and mushy. There is lots of angst, suspense and hurt/comfort, but with a very happy ending! I actually avoided this fic for a few months cause I didn’t think I was in the right headspace for something super dark, but it was actually quite fluffy.
Jungkook’s House for the Wayward Werewolf by Rivertoforever
Rating: T for Non-Sexual Intimacy
Themes: Supernatural, Humor, Hurt/Comfort, slight Dom/sub dynamics, Werewolfs, Very Non-Traditional ABO, Asexual/Poly Relationship, Roomate AUish
Relationships: OT7 but very Jungkook-centric
Summary: Being the only human in a household of werewolves can lead to strange experiences, mixed signals, weird behaviour and a lap full of fur.
My notes: This is one of my favorite stories of all time! It’s unfortunately unfinished and has been for a while, so if you’re not a fan of WIPs this won’t be for you :( Otherwise, I reread it all the time! I remember loving the relationship and dynamic between the characters and how they were all very respectful of JK not wanting to be physical with them. A year later I discover I’m Ace! Haha! I consider this fic one of the many things that pushed me in the right direction. It’s very cute, fluffy and soft!
[And uh... I considered putting this on the list before but thought it was a little too heavy on sex/smut so I took it off, but I’ll leave it here for you to decide. I think that the smut scenes in this fic aren’t necessarily there for “smexy cock fun times” and are more outright statements on gender equality, sociology, informed consent and healthy relationships. Hence why I’ve left it in!]
Mentoring on Marsa by FlyYouFools1
Rating: E for Sex, Firm Dub-Con, Discussion of Non-Con, Violence, Unhealthy Relationships
Themes: ABO, Technically Aliens?, Societal Differences, Culture Shock, Kind of Sugar Baby AU, Viva La Omegan Revolution, Teaching Alphas to Not Be Dicks™, One Big Fat Metaphor for Real Life Gender Discrimination and Systematic Abuse
Relationships: VMinKook, YoonJinNamSeok
Summary: Jungkook comes to the planet Marsa after being promised a full scholarship to Marsa National University. When the scholarship falls through, his academic advisor gives him the number for a mentoring service for newly stranded omegas on Marsa. With rent due, no way home, and no success in finding a job, Jungkook calls the number. The organization sends him Min Yoongi, a fellow omega who's been living on Marsa for 8 years. Yoongi teaches him how to survive. Jungkook's first attempt at survival is alpha couple Jimin and Taehyung.
My notes: This is the really long part one that just finished. It’s 50 chapters of emotional healing, statements on consent, character growth and sneaky omegas. I’m a huge fan of non-traditional ABO fics, and I love when sex is treated not as a “just cause I can”, but as an actual example of gender politics and relationship growth. If anyone is aspec, this might not be the story for you! But if you can mentally push past the idea of sex, I assure you it’s not “porn for the sake of porn”.

[found at: --rainboweyes--]
When was the last time you did clay work/pottery? The one time I did pottery was I thinkkkkk during our trip to Vigan? Somewhere up north, anyway. That was around 3 or 4 years ago.
Do you like art, hate it or just not mind it? I love looking at art and can be in museums all day long; but I hate analyzing it and having to read into metaphors or symbolisms. I just appreciate the brush strokes, the colors used...basically the skills and hard work that went into the artwork.
If you had to choose would you prefer dull pain for 12 hours or sharp for 2? Sharp for two, plz. I have had dull headaches all week that have lasted into the night and I absolutely hate it.
Koala or Kangaroo? I like either.
Do you know the words to the national anthem of your country? Of course.
Is your country ruled by a president, prime minister, queen or other? President. Our current one’s an incompetent one, but yeah a president I guess.
Does blue occur in your national flag? Yes. We place the blue section on top when the country’s at peace, and we flip it to the bottom side if we’re otherwise at war - fortunately I’ve never seen the red be put on top throughout my lifetime so far.
Talking of flags. Do you like football/soccer? I’ve personally never seen the appeal of either, but that’s just me.
If yes, do you play and what position? If not, leave blank.
Would you rather be a Model, Famous Scientist, Singer or Chef? I’d like to be a scientist, just not a famous one. Like can I just be lowkey smart? Lmao
Would you rather be a pilot, crime scene investigator or estate agent? Pilot. That would have been so rad. I have a friend who flies nearly every week and his photos always look awesome. Maybe I’ll take lessons one day.
Does making others happy really make you feel happy? It’s my main way of keeping happy.
What color literally doesn't appear in your wardrobe at all? Purple. Never looked good on me. I wanna add orange since I dislike the color as well, but I remember the orange top I have that I never got around to throwing out. I’m pretty sure I also don’t own any brown.
Do you actually read the answers others give to your surveys [I do]? Yes. Sometimes I’ll be gone for several days and there’ll be so many new survey entries that I can’t always read everyone’s answers, but for the most part I do try to take a look at the ones I see.
Did you ever swear at a teacher in school? Why? I’ve sworn at them behind their backs, but that’s it.
Have you ever pricked your finger on Holly or another 'sharp' plant? I’ve definitely been a victim of thorns before.
Speaking of Holly, do you adore Christmas or does it bug you? It makes me lonely for the most part. But I was happy this year because my dad was home, and both sides of my family managed to make get-togethers work while still following protocol.
Have you ever wrote your own short story? I tried writing fanfiction when I first discovered them, but that was when I learned I was unbelievably terrible with fictional work. My career as a budding author did not last any longer than two weeks, lmao.
What about a novel? Or perhaps you started and couldn't finish? Nope. I believe I tried this as well, but I just didn’t have both the creativity and commitment for it.
Either of the above, if this was the case, place short synopsis here: Couples I shipped and that is cringey enough so that is all you need to know.
Do you prefer SciFi/Fantasy/Action/Horror or Rom/Com/RealLife? When it comes to fanfiction still? Or just in general? I like stories that are most likely to happen in real life, so I enjoy dramas the most. Romcoms are also cute and they’re what I turn to whenever I need to de-stress. I do like horror as well but my interest has waned a bit through the years; sci-fi is a hit or miss for me; I don’t hold any interest for either fantasy or action.
What do you have a lot of faith in [note: can be anything]? It’s hard to hold a lot of that these days.
Think of a material thing you want. Name it here (material, made or bought] Right now I want a projector. I keep YouTube videos playing on my phone throughout my shift to serve as background noise, but I wish I had a bigger screen :( I have a blank wall in my room so a projector would be perfect rn.
Would $100/$60 be enough for this item? I can definitely find a projector in that price range on Shopee, lol.
How about $1000/$600? That’s more than enough and can get me a high-end projector at this point.
Would you rather have a big house, a lot of kids or a high flying job? The last one is a priority for me now.
Have you ever been to a creepy/haunted/abandoned place? I’ve been to many places rumored to be haunted, like particular spots in my high school.
What did it look like and what were the circumstances? Idk the so-called haunted areas in my school were all everyday spots, like certain washrooms and the penthouse in the high school building. An outsider probably wouldn’t suspect they were haunted unless someone else told them.
It’s nearing 10:30 PM and it’s pitch-black in my room, so I’d rather not explain the stories behind the ~haunted spots LOL
What's your favorite dip? Depends on what food I’m dipping? There are so many kinds of dips, dude.
Chocolate Cookies or Fudge Brownies? Just chocolate cookies? As in double chocolate, not chocolate chip? I never liked that flavor. I’m going with fudge brownies.
I give you a little baby puppy. What do you name him? It will depend on their personality. Cooper was a smartass from the get-go so we named him after Sheldon Cooper.
Is crime a big problem in your area? Not in my city, fortunately. But my country generally doesn’t have a good rep when it comes to crime. I always hear of unjust killings every week, if not every day.
What's your town/city most well known for? Being on a mountain, a famous biking spot, a famous climbing spot, the view of the metro it gives at night.
Do you know a Jack? What's he like? I don’t think so. No one is coming to mind.
How about a Lisa? What's she like? Our neighbor from my childhood home is a Lisa. I have not seen her since I was like 10, so I have no clue how she’s doing these days.
Are most your friends older, younger or the same age as you? Same age, since most of my friends are the people I went to high school/college with.
Do you subconsciously hang out with those with the same star sign as you or as each other, perhaps due to certain personality traits? Think about it: Astrology makes me cringe.
Name 5 objects that you don't have but would like right now? A 2021 planner, scented candles, Ivy Park merch, a massage pillow, skincare products.
When you have children, would you like twins? Probably not.
Do you know any twins? If so, what are they called? Yeah I was classmates with a pair in an English elective I had in college. We ended up being friends that semester, but we don’t interact much anymore. I’m not giving away their names, but I’m sad that I was never able to tell them apart :/
If you were given the choice to choose your child’s gender, would you? Absolutely yeah, if it were possible. I’d preferably have all girls.
What instrument would you love to learn how to play? The piano.
Does the sound of knocking/tapping startle you? If it comes out as a loud thud, yeah. It’s more likely to irritate me, though.
What's the scariest story/urban legend/creepypasta etc you heard? Skipping this as it’s nearing 10:45 PM and I don’t need any images to come to mind right now lol
Do you miss someone currently? Always.
When was the last time you were in hospital? What for [if comfy saying]? Needed to get a urine and blood test to check my platelet count, because my parents and I thought I had dengue.
When was the last time you went to the dentist? December 2019 when I needed a pesky toothache dealt with ASAP, and when my dentist discovered a decayed tooth that needed to be removed.
Do you get along well with your family doctor/your doctor? We don’t have a family doctor. I only go to the doctor when I’m sick, and we go to different ones every time haha.
What personality trait does nearly everyone in your family seem to have? Everyone hides their emotions, to a point that it’s unhealthy. No one just wants to address the elephant in the room, which is precisely a part of the problem. I’m 100% certain we are all suffering and fighting our own battles quietly.
The survey’s ended. I hope you enjoyed it. :) This was a pleasant one to take :)

The Worst (TM) Pathologic Ship
A preamble is probably necessary here. This is written in good fun and is not meant to offend. Imagine me cackling obnoxiously while you’re reading. It’ll set the right mood.
TLDR: Andrey/Mark conceivably works as a ship.
How was this idea even born?
Y’know when you say something funny and then a friend says something funny and it keeps building up? That’s what happened. If you remember my little comic about Andrey teaching Grace to shoot, the dummy was in Mark Immortell’s likeness. The following conversation happened with regards to that:
>Peter was just trying to save Andrey from getting even more on Mark’s shitlist
>mark “oh please, if you want to use my likeness for target practice, just hit me up”
>Sounds like a date
>i mean you can’t shoot mark right
>OH NO
>Andrey/mark
At this point the gears started turning. My first thoughts were “haha cursed” as they are about a lot of things, and then I decided to hit up Wattpad for some terrible x reader fanfiction to help me write a Mark Immortell x reader fic.  I didn’t hit up Wattpad because I’m currently at home with my parents who dictate me a nice early bedtime. I slept on it for a bit.
The next morning, I screamed (internally) because somehow the Mark x reader idea I had slept on became a strong urge to write/draw Mark/Andrey. Ironically, of course. That’s my brand. Heh.
I chewed on the idea until it wasn’t so ironic anymore.
Actual stuff under the cut.
Ok, but why?
Look, this isn’t gonna be full of evidence or whatever since these two don’t interact, but this is a joke post anyway, so why do you care? I’m half-kidding, please keep reading. I used the wiki as a loose reference.
An important note is that I’m mostly taking my points from Pathologic 2 characterisations here, especially with regards to meta.
The Players
Let’s take a look at each character separately first. I’ll bring up important canon personality traits and personal interpretations which will play into the relationship dynamic.
Mark Immortell
The most relevant part of Mark’s character for this is his relationship with control. His relationship with it is straightforward in both the play and the meta. After all, he is one of the few impervious to the plague in the story and as the showrunner in meta. In between games, he wrests control of the metanarrative too, so there’s another point for him. I like how he seems to enjoy exercising his power too! He’s a Utopian through and through; he breaks the limits of the play and exercises control beyond what he should be able to as a showrunner in the game. In short, nothing gets on top of Mark Immortell. Figuratively. I think his back might say otherwise.
Andrey Stamatin
I have a lot more to say about Andrey! We’ll start with what lies on the surface, though we’ll get to the good stuff later. Andrey is the red oni to Peter’s blue; he’s the more outwardly aggressive and impulsive of the twins. In canon, Andrey’s character is about breaking the limits set in front of him. We see him do this quite effectively with the construction of the Polyhedron, but what happens when there’s a limit that can’t be broken placed in front of him? We never see this in either game. While both twins drown themselves in something or other that stops them reaching their full creative potential (at least when we see them), no limits are placed in a way where they’re seen actively having to tackle them.
We can get an idea of how an unbreakable limit might present itself to Andrey by taking a look at his relationship with Peter. There’s a lot that can be said, but I will focus on the aspect of control. Andrey fashions himself as Peter’s caretaker, taking control of the latter in a sense. This isn’t a bad thing, considering Peter can barely look after himself properly. On the other hand, Andrey allows himself to be dragged around by Peter’s creative visions. He’s the driving force that brings those ideas to life, sure, but ultimately his strings are being pulled by someone else. From this I think that Andrey is receptive to being controlled in a relationship. Being presented with an unbreakable limit can conceivably end up with him being pliant.
Let me make a slight detour by giving you a couple of personal thoughts on Andrey. Feel free to disagree on this since it’s all interpretation based on gut feeling. A good first impression to Andrey Stamatin would be having your figurative fangs out. A seemingly pure existence without hidden fangs is something that cannot exist to him (an exception can be made for Eva, since she’s so out there that it’s 100% not an act). I don’t believe he places sole value on honesty, per se (think Grief and how soft he actually is), but it plays a large part in his perception of someone. Basically, put your worst foot forward. Andrey is down for that.
How would this work, exactly?
On one hand, we have the meta-dealing Chris McLean himself, and on the other, Mr Andrey “I break all the rules” Stamatin. Let’s try and tell a short story, and I’ll bring up the points I made above when appropriate.
SCENE 1
Every romance must start with a meet cute. Refer to the comic I mentioned at the beginning. PETER has tackled ANDREY to the ground. GRACE is holding a fake gun. There is a training dummy with the likeness of MARK IMMORTELL.
Enter MARK. He calmly walks past the scene and examines the dummy. Impressed, he turns to ANDREY, who has since stood up.
MARK IMMORTELL:         Quite an impressive dummy you’ve made, Andrey.
MARK snickers. The focus is on ANDREY and MARK as PETER and GRACE slowly back away. They expect a fight. Just let them leave, they don’t do anything. PETER and GRACE decide to get some ice-cream off-stage, or maybe paint at home. Anywhere that isn’t here.
MARK IMMORTELL:         If you really wanted to use my likeness as target practice, you could have hit me up.
This was his attempt to provoke. I read this as Mark acknowledging his invulnerability, but this could also be read as an amorous proposal. ANDREY takes the bait and tries to intimidate this tiny little theatre man. He makes to kick MARK in the shin, but Mark’s valise finds itself under his chin before he can do so. ANDREY stalls. MARK looks satisfied with his reaction. He won’t be satisfied for long.
MARK IMMORTELL:         I hope you don’t mind me taking this. I’ll use it in my next show. Do come to see it, won’t you, Andrey?
He leans in towards the other. ANDREY tries to verbally protest, but he finds he cannot speak.
MARK IMMORTELL:         It would be quite a shame if you didn’t.
MARK calls a tragedian to pick the dummy up. As quickly as he entered the stage, he leaves with the tragedian. ANDREY’s gaze follows him, confused. Fade to black.
SCENE 2
The Theatre at night. Enter ANDREY, somewhat nervous. Well, he is nervous but doesn’t act like it. He’s hoping nobody asks him what he’s doing here. BACHELOR and HARUSPEX are chatting in a corner, noticing but not acknowledging Andrey’s presence. CHANGELING is on the second floor, looking down at the scene. ANDREY doesn’t notice her. She snickers into the camera.
Lights are cast on the stage and a pantomime plays out, featuring Andrey’s dummy. ANDREY watches, spellbound. I don’t have an idea of what the pantomime would be, so use your own imagination. After the show ends, only ANDREY is left in the Theatre. The three healers have left in the meantime. They knew what was going to happen. ANDREY, as if possessed, approaches the stage. MARK enters the stage from stage left and they stop in front of each other. MARK looks down at ANDREY almost derisively, but to his surprise, ANDREY just stares back. Beat.
MARK IMMORTELL:         I didn’t expect to see you here today, little shark pup.
Pet name? It’s Mark being a meanie! Andrey is eating this up, however, because overt control is something he can accept. Mark just established dominance over him in Scene 1 and he’s okay with not fighting back… If this was longer, I would have had him try to push a bit more, but we don’t got time for that. Back to the actual play.
ANDREY tries to say something, but it comes out as an unintelligible mumble. MARK lifts his chin up with the end of his valise so ANDREY is properly looking at him.
MARK IMMORTELL:         Did you say something?
ANDREY expects to be unable to speak again. He hesitantly opens his mouth.
ANDREY:                            (his voice cracks slightly) You… asked me to come, didn’t you?
MARK is taken aback (not visibly) by this honest admission. He (and probably you) expected Andrey to put up a small fight at least. However, this little puppet does not mind his strings being pulled. Mark decides to try and push a little harder.
MARK teleports ANDREY up on stage. ANDREY stumbles a little, but Mark’s valise still being under his chin steadies him. MARK pulls the valise so Andrey’s face is quite close to his again. I don’t know what to do from here, so fade to black.
The way I imagined the dynamic going is Mark teasing Andrey and trying to provoke him. Andrey does get pissy sometimes, but it’s extremely cute and low stakes, like teasing a pet. Then, at some point Andrey doesn’t get provoked which would throw Mark off guard. It’s a moment where two characters are going at each other and suddenly stop, allowing the weight of the moment to sink in. It’s in almost every romance story, but I can’t exactly put a name to it. Have enough of that, and we’ve got a nice rom-com on our hands.
Of course, this is just a theory. A Game Theory…

OFC Masterlist -- OC Appreciation Day 2020
Since I unfortunately don’t have anything new for reading today, I thought I would finally create a masterlist of my OFC works, along with a little commentary on each one. I hope you find something new and lovely to read within this list!
@atc74​ @alleiradayne​
Not Listening When You Say Goodbye - Dean x South
South Mosely has said goodbye to almost everyone near and dear to her. She thought she had gotten used to it, but that was before the lights started flickering wherever she went; that was before a blast from the past came cruising into town in a 1967 Chevy Impala.
This was the first Supernatural fanfiction I ever wrote. I started and finished other things before this one was completed, but I remember feeling so accomplished when I finished writing it! I also remember feeling like their story isn’t finished; and Marie, another OFC within the fic, her story has yet to be told. I had so many plans for these characters, though none have yet to come to fruition.
Out of the Blue - Dean x Nicole (Me)
A series of random events turns out not to be so random.
Another idea that never fully came to fruition -- that’s such a pattern with me, unfortunately. Also, not the only YouAU (because self-insert kinda sounds dirty, ha) on my list. Pretty sure the idea came to me during a night working in the ER.
Promised Land | Let It Rock | Out of the Darkness - Dean x Israel
Dean bonds with a woman he never expected to be such a big part of his future.
This three-part mini-series is intended to be an insight into some “episodes” the reader in Angeles is part of; Israel is the character she plays. It was a lot of fun writing this enemies to lovers trope, working in Amara a little ... just a fun little series to write! And I really love Israel, personally. She’s one of my favorites.
The Demon’s Pet | Angels Among Us - Dean x Zephaniah
Dean goes to kill a woman, unaware of who and what she really is.
Dean and Zephaniah’s story continues as he fights against The Mark of Cain taking hold, and she avoids waging war with Heaven.
My baby. My heart. My labor of love. This series -- these series -- is/are a story I’m so proud of. Zephaniah’s character is one that I really worked to develop, and the scenes in these stories are ones I really visualized before putting them into words. Specifically (a little spoiler, nothing that ruins the fic) the scene in The Demon’s Pet when Dean tortures Zephaniah in hell ... I’m very proud of that scene. The third installment, The Demon & The Darkness, has been in the works for a long time, but I’ve learned that these are not characters I can rush; their story has to tell itself.
Someone Like You - Dean x Hartley, Sam x Andell, Castiel x Florence, Gadreel x Phedra, Travis x Hartley
Another fic that I started early on in my SPN-watching days! The OFCs are based on myself and three friends. Inspired by the Ashley Judd movie of the same name, this fic was intended to be a cute little rom-com type thing, with a touch of drama (which, of course, turned out to be more than a touch) and a smidge of the supernatural. Mechanic!Dean, Professor!Cas, GradStudent!Sam, SWATteam!Gadreel ... lots of fun stuff in this one!
Love & War - WWII AU - Jensen x OFC Lucy, Misha x OFC Odette - Collab with @d-s-winchester​
Best friends Lucy and Odette navigate life in the wake of the Pearl Harbor bombing.
My first collab with Ashley! We wrote this story in FIVE DAYS. It was magical. Totally meant to be. A sweet World War II love story .. check it out if that’s your thing!
If Walls Could Talk - Jensen x Nicole
AU Me moves into an apartment in Vancouver and befriends Jensen ... and then panics about moving our relationship beyond friendship. (As if.)
A while back, I hosted a writing challenge called the YouAU challenge (again, because self-insert sounds kinda dirty) where I challenged other writers to put themselves into their fic in some capacity. I mean, I know a lot of us do it mentally anyway, so why not just put it out there? I had fun writing this, pulling the post-it theme throughout. Occasionally I add to it because, meh, why not?
The Charade - Jensen x Boden, Misha x Adeline - collab with @d-s-winchester​
Boden and Adeline make a deal with Jensen and Misha -- the girls need an article, the boys need stand-in girlfriends. What could go wrong?
Another Ashole collab! Which unfortunately did not take only five days to write, ha. Still fun to write though, and one I often go back to re-read. I love the easy yet hesitant relationship between Jensen and Boden.
Take It All Back - Jensen x Macy, Jensen x Journey
Shocking news from home prompts Jensen to bounce a quarter into a whiskey glass and make a drunken wish. The next thing he knows, he’s catapulted into something straight out of Supernatural.Will Jensen be able to get back to the life he knows? More importantly, will he want to?
This idea hit me in the middle of a concert! Inspired by Take It All Back by Judah & the Lion, I thought about Jensen moving on from a sweetheart when he begins acting, and then hitting this traumatic moment where he wonders what would have happened if he could go back and stay with her -- and that maybe things wouldn’t be quite the ‘what if’ scenario he had imagined. Another passion piece that I am extremely proud of!
A Hit and A Miss - Misha x Ashley
A special moment goes slightly awry.
I wrote this for a Ships challenge ... I was alllllllll about some Mishley! Since I created the ship, you can guess why, haha! This ship may have sailed but I can’t complain about a fic that involves baseball!
Pictures in the Park | Guide Me Home | Meaning in the Moments
Speaking of ships, let’s talk Robelina.
My dear friend Ang -- @atc74​ -- and Rob Benedict. The epitome of short and sweet. One of my favorite ships to write. Though we all know Angelina is passionate and Rob can entertain with the best of them, I see their relationship as the calm place for both of them. Quiet in the chaos. *dreamy sigh*.
Okay friends, I’m pretty sure that covers all of my OC fics. I hope you find something you can read and love, and maybe even some inspiration to create your own original characters! Happy OC Appreciation Day!

GO Rom Com Spotlight: @wantedfangirl​
The engaging @wantedfangirl​ (also wantedfangirl on AO3 and Discord) has claimed Love, Simon to adapt for Good Omens in the Good Omens Rom Com Event.
For reference, here’s a little background about the source material!
About Love, Simon: Everyone deserves a great love story, but for 17-year-old Simon Spier, it's a little more complicated. He hasn't told his family or friends that he's gay, and he doesn't know the identity of the anonymous classmate that he's fallen for online. Resolving both issues proves hilarious, terrifying and life-changing.
We spent some time chatting about how the adaptation is coming so far, as well as future plans for it! Now, get to know @wantedfangirl​ a little better!
* * *
goromcom: Starting off with a little about you, the tags Tumblr associates with you are #miraculous and #lol. Those are very lighthearted tags! Are you an optimistic person in general?
wantedfangirl: Haha, that’s very funny! In real life I am actually quite a cynic, but Tumblr and general online culture can get very depressing if you let it get to you, so I try to maintain a more positive online presence.
goromcom: Yeah, I like that. Concentrating on things that can be a little more uplifting can sometimes help offset the more troubling things in the news and online. 
But now, let’s talk about your project! You chose to adapt Love, Simon as your rom com. Has this movie been a favorite of yours, or is there some other reason you chose it?
wantedfangirl: Oh, this movie is definitely a favourite of mine. As someone who was a closeted teen when it came out, this movie was painfully and reassuringly relatable, and seeing this movie in cinemas with friends and how popular it subsequently became was very encouraging. It’s also interesting rewatching it now, despite it only having been a couple of years, and seeing how different it is to watch when I’m at a very different place with my life and my sexuality. However, the main reason I chose it is that I finally read the book the movie is based on, and it really inspired me to rewrite this romcom with our favourite angel and demon.
goromcom: What's your favorite moment of the movie, and are you looking forward to presenting it in your adaptation? Any loose plans for that scene that you can share?
wantedfangirl: SPOILER WARNING FOR LOVE, SIMON--There are several comedic moments in the film that I love, like the skit about straight people ‘coming out’ and every scene with relatable Queer Panic, but at heart I am a sap, and so my favourite scene has got to be when they finally meet on the Ferris Wheel and share that stunning kiss.--END SPOILERS 
I am very much looking forward to that scene, because I feel like I’ve blended all my favourite elements of the book, movie, and Good Omens to keep the essence of the original scene but make it more distinct to Ineffable Husbands.
goromcom: Do you plan to stick very closely to the beats of the original story, or make bigger changes?
wantedfangirl: I feel I have gone for something between the two. I’ve kept the main plotline and relationship the same, and all the essential ideas surrounding sexuality and homophobia that were very integral to the movie. However, the movie also includes a lot of High School Drama that I really didn’t want to write, and writing Aziraphale and Crowley as teenagers just felt too weird, so I changed the setting to an office, to try and keep it in an enclosed environment while ever so slightly heightening the maturity level of the characters. Curtaincall’s wonderful Office AU also got me binge-watching the show, so that probably also has been inspiring me.
goromcom: What's an interesting decision you've made in your planning so far--a notable casting decision, a changing of venue, or some other plan you have to paint Good Omens all over your rom com?
wantedfangirl: As I mentioned above, I changed the setting because Crowley and Aziraphale were literally born middle-aged, and writing them differently really didn’t feel right. I’ve also replaced a lot of the subplots that originally involved High School Drama to more Good Omens inspired ideas, as the office-like structure of Heaven and Hell in the show really transferred beautifully to this fic. I’ve also been keeping those details we all know and love (*cough* “I gave it away”), that are so much fun to include in every Good Omens fic. I also found that some scenes in my romcom work brilliantly with the ‘break up’ scenes in the show, and I cannot wait to write those.
goromcom: I am blatantly stealing this last question from The Good Place: The Podcast, but here goes: Tell me something "good". It can be something big or small. It can be a charity you think is doing good work, or you can talk about how great your pet is.
wantedfangirl: Ah, I love that podcast and that show, definitely recommend them both! I don’t want to sound preachy, but I would say something I’ve found ‘good’ recently is taking a break from social media. I’ve found that consciously stepping away has been surprisingly helpful, both because I have a strong tendency to procrastinate on it, and it can get very negative, which really isn't great when you're prone to a variety of mental issues.
And, to lighten up a bit from that, here's a picture of my friend's adorable bunny:
Tumblr media
goromcom: Before you take your next break from social media to take in the world around you (or pass out from the cute of that bunny) make a note to check out the GO adaptation of Love, Simon, coming soon!

I think the fact that Meghan double majored, did drama as a backup, shows that she had a practical sense. International Relations is one of those subjects that sounds great, but in the real world it is almost impossible to make a living; there are people who get that degree thinking they will go work at the UN, but they end up working in call centers. It’s sad. Acting is hard too, but for Meghan it was the more practical choice because she had the connections- her father’s career put her in that world and the schools she attended meant that she knew other people in that world as well. I imagine her internship in Buenos Aires taught her a lot and maybe she was, after it, very glad she had studied drama too! She was born into the Hollywood world. So it was natural and a path of less resistance. And of course she had talent too. I don’t say she is a Meryl Streep, but I do think that she is fun to watch on screen. She’s cute and sassy on Suits. Her made-for-TV rom coms are fun as well. She’s good. Good enough to have done rather well in a crazy ass industry. My mom was an actress too; she moved us to California to pursue her acting career. That’s why I ended up at Burbank High. And I can tell you many stories about actors trying like hell to ‘make it’. Even with connections, it’s hard as hell. You can have a foot in the door, but if you lack 'that certain something,’ you won’t go far. Meghan did well, so she is due the props. Who cares what “list” she was on? A list of D list, she was on a list! haha
SUBMITTED
Meghan seems very practical, I mean her having that side business doing Calligraphy to make sure she paid to the bills speaks volumes. Also her saying, acting is not my great passion but it gave me the money and platform to do charity and give back which is what I wanted to do also speaks volumes. Again being practical and business minded. 
People talk about how Thomas gave her a foot in the door and it is because of him she got her roles but he was a camera operator and I don’t know how much he really helped. Do camera operators mean you get roles for your daughter?Not to mention there was times he deserted the family and simply sent money for her private school and then after that, no money at all for her and her mother.
Her haters can say D or Z list all they want but she was on an award winning show which lasted years and shows lasting is a big deal in Hollywood. People dream of being on a show that lasts!

10 Questions
Tagged by @its-sixxers​, thanks! 
Tagging: @hattyrene​​, @nihilnovesubsole​​, @greennotebookandinkpen​, @freywafer​, @bluff-check​​, @saddeniq​​, @uwugatory​​, @meap27​​, @bear-shoulders​​, @angeloffyre​​ and anyone else who wants to do it! no pressure if you don’t want to, a lot of y’all are mutuals who i cherish greatly but have barely spoken to directly lol
Rules: Answer these questions, then create 10 new ones and tag 10 people.
1. If you could have any kind of art, what would you get?
I’m a big art history nerd so this is tough!! If it’s a painting, probably anything done by Van Gogh or Monet, but my favorite art piece of all time is a Hellenistic sculpture in the Louvre called Winged Victory/Nike of Samothrace.
Tumblr media
Not sure where I’d put it in my house, but I’d make it work!
2. What’s your favorite MET gala outfit?
Ahh this was a toughie, I’m gonna say a tie between Ezra Miller’s from last year:
Tumblr media
and Zendaya’s Joan of Arc look from 2018:
Tumblr media
3. If you never had to worry about rules or practicality/upkeep, what kind of hair would you have?
I’d probably dye it a new color every week if it was that easy! Otherwise I like my hair the way it is. I might try long hair again - the main reason I haven’t had long hair since I was 13 is because it was so much work to take care of.
4. Who’d you have a celebrity crush on as a preteen? (If you’re aro/ace or didn’t have one - what band were you obsessed with?)
I didn’t really have celebrity crushes until I was a teenager, so I’ll just say the first celebrity crush I ever had, which was Josh Dun. Cause I was ~edgy~ like that.
5. Did you ever follow an embarrassing fad/trend?
I don’t know if it’s embarrassing, but if anyone remembers back in the late 2000s-early 2010s it was really in to get a feather in your hair. I had a brown one until it fell out, but I thought it was cute!
6. Favorite musical? (If you hate musicals you are free to rant about how terrible they are here)
I don’t know much about theater lol (pls don’t come for me @benny-gecko-official​). I’ve never really seen/listened to any musicals.
7. First social media you remember using? (Could be forums, BBS, whatever)
Does... Neopets count? If not, I remember watching my older sister use MySpace but I think the first one I actually used was Facebook.
8. Most nostalgic piece of media?
Maybe it sounds dumb, but My Little Pony haha. I loved it when I was a kid (had all the toys and everything) and then later got into the reboot, FIM, when I was a teenager. I made a lot of friends and I basically owe it to MLP for my start in drawing, so even though I’m not into it anymore I always look back on it fondly.
9. Favorite outdoor activity?
Probably swimming. Luckily because I live in California, I can swim pretty much year-round. I also really like hiking, but I haven’t been on a hike since I got trapped overnight in a slot canyon in Zion about a year and a half ago.
...Long story. Hmu if you live in California and want to go on a stress-free hike to ease me back into it lmao
10. Do you have a guilty pleasure?
Cheesy rom-coms (if they’re GOOD and not some tired M/F nonsense). I’m usually too embarrassed to watch them with anyone else lol
My 10 questions:
1. What fashion trend do you hope makes a comeback?
2. How do you feel about clowns?
3. Do you believe in ghosts?
4. What video game have you spent the most time on? (If you don’t play video games very much, choose anything else you’ve spent a lot of time on)
5. If you had a time machine, what time period would you visit? (Past or future - or neither, if you prefer)
6. Would you survive the apocalypse?
7. What’s something you could talk about for hours?
8. Would you prefer very hot or very cold weather?
9. What skill do you think everyone should have?
10. What piece of media feels like home to you?

Nino’s Quest Chapter 1: Gathering the Party
When his uncle leaves for Morocco, it looks like Nino might be stuck without any Dungeons and Dragons for a few months. Since this is a terrible fate, Nino takes it upon himself to make a campaign of his very own.
Now if only he could find a party...
Thank you to @alienducky for inspiring me to expand on this one shot from last year’s fictober prompt! And thanks to @marinoodles for letting me steal her name!
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9 Part 10 (Final)
Enjoy!
Read on Ao3. My ko-fi.
“As you clutch Raygar close, he whispers a single name into your ear as if it were the most important thing in the world: ‘Doznak.’ The moment the word passes his lips, the light leaves his eyes.”
“No! Not my dude Raygar!” Nino wailed, his fist hitting the table, gently shaking the drinks that had been set on it.
“...And I think that’s where we’ll end this session. Thanks for coming out, you guys.” Uncle Hassan gave a hug to the other two party members as they left, leaving just him and Nino to pick up. “Thanks for the help, little man. How are you liking this campaign?”
“It’s totally awesome, uncle dude!” Nino raised his voice to be heard as he carried the glasses to the kitchen and left them in the sink. “Each story gets better than the last. And man! Tonight’s cliffhanger. I can’t wait to get the low down on who this Doznak dude is next week.”
When he returned, he saw his uncle smiling sheepishly and rubbing the back of his neck. “Yeah… about that.”
“What?”
“I’m going to be visiting your grandpa in Tangier. So, uh, you might be waiting on that thrilling conclusion for a while.”
Giving his uncle a suspicious look, he asked, “How long is a ‘while’, exactly?”
“I won’t be back until New Year’s, kiddo.”
Nino gaped. “Dude!” He said, betrayed. “We’re only just at the end of summer! How am I supposed to wait that long?!”
Uncle Hassan chuckled. “Well, you’ll be starting school soon. That’ll help keep your mind off it, right?”
“Maybe a little.” Nino pouted and pulled his cap down, trying to hide his disappointment.
A large hand settled on his shoulder and Nino looked up into the hazel eyes of his uncle. “Kiddo, you’ve been doing great and it’s been fantastic having you around in the game. But sometimes groups have to take a break for a while. These things happen.”
Nino sagged. “But… I was just getting the hang of Dungeons and Dragons…”
“Well, you don’t have to stop.” Nino looked up, curiosity getting the better of him. “My books are just going to get dusty waiting for me here. Why don’t you take them and make a campaign of your own? Invite your friends. Trust me, it’ll be way more fun than playing with us geezers.” Uncle Hassan laughed, his eyes sparkling with mirth.
His friends? Nino thought of Adrien, with his impenetrably dense schedule. Alya and her lack of interest in games, whether they be board games or video games. Marinette and her tendency to always be juggling fifty projects at once. Although… they weren’t his only friends, right? It couldn’t be that hard to find two or three people willing to game with him like once a week.
“You know… you might be onto something.” A grin reached Nino’s face as he took the rulebooks that his uncle passed him. Outside, a car honked its horn - his dad was there to pick him up.
“Tell my brother-in-law I said hello. And good luck, kiddo!”
Nino waved and felt his mind light up with the possibilities of adventure.
--------------------
The last month of summer went by in a blur as Nino put his mind to work getting his campaign drafted. When school started, he took a few weeks to get back into the swing of things before he started the hunt for a new party.
That’s where he hit a snag.
There weren’t that many Dungeons and Dragons players in his class. Or, at least, not many that he knew of. He managed to corner all three of them during lunch and pitched his campaign to them.
“...So what’d ya think, dudes? Sound like a party or what?”
Max cleared his throat and pushed up his glasses. “I really am very sorry, Nino, but I’ve been kept adequately busy with my work on game design. While I’d love to join up, it would cut into my other projects. Regrettably, I’ll have to decline.”
“Alright, dude, no sweat.” Nino patted Max on the shoulder and turned toward the other two. “What about you guys?”
Juleka shook her head. “Sorry. I just started one with Rose. Can’t back out now, you know?”
“And I just got hooked on a new MMO with Ivan,” Mylene said with a wince. “If I stop now, I’ll lose my placing that I worked so hard for!”
“Major bummer.” Nino tugged at his cap as all four of them got up to return to their usual seats.
“According to my projections, I’ll have a greater likelihood of joining on the next adventure.”
“Maybe next campaign,” Mylene patted his arm as she walked past him.
“Yeah, we can try again next time.” Juleka paused. “Have you tried asking Adrien?”
Nino shook his head. “Nah, dude is always super busy.”
‘Sure, but he was asking me and Rose about D&D. I dunno, maybe just try it?”
“Really?” Nino perked up. His best friend had gone home for lunch, but he was still just a text away. “It might be worth a shot. Thanks, Juleka.”
“No problem. Good luck.”
Taking a seat at the table next to Alya, Nino shot a quick text to Adrien.
Nino: Heard you were asking about DnD. You game?
“What’s that about, babe?” Alya asked, looking over his shoulder.
“I’m trying to get a party together for Dungeons and Dragons.”
“Dang, and the first half of that sentence was so promising.”
“So is that a pass then?” Nino said with a faint smile. While sometimes he could get her to play games with him, he understood that it wasn’t her favorite. Just like how he didn’t share her love of rom coms, but indulged her every now and again.
“Yeah, babe. Although…” She looked at Marinette as she rushed into the building clutching a brown bag with the Dupain-Cheng bakery logo. “...there might be potential there.”
“Hey, guys!” Marinette sat down opposite them and opened the bag, passing some chocolatines to the two of them. “What’re we talking about?”
“Hey, M.” Alya leaned forward. “Do you ever play roleplaying games?”
“Um, sometimes? You know my favorite is fighting games, but I’m up for some adventure sometimes.” Marinette tilted her head to the side. “Why?”
“Well, Nino here was thinking about running a Dungeons and Dragons campaign…”
“I’m… not sure.” Marinette’s eyes widened. “Not that I’m not interested! It sounds like it’d be fun to do with friends. But I don’t know if I’ll be able to find the time. Plus-”
She was interrupted by the sound of Nino’s phone going off. He’d left it on the table, so everyone could see that it was from Adrien. A small smile crept across Nino’s face when he heard the little intake of breath when Marinette noticed.
“S-so, um, how’s- how’s Adrien?”
Poor dude. The guy isn’t even here and she is stuttering. Nino pulled up the text.
Adrien: Yes!!! I got all the rulebooks months ago and I’ve done my best to learn but no one plays. [sad cat emojii] Are you going to be a DM??
Chuckling, Nino sent him another message.
Nino: You bet! Would you be able to meet once a week?
The response was immediate.
Adrien: Maybe if I say I’m working on a group project? I could pull it off, yeah.
With a huge grin, he looked back up at the girls. “My boy is in!”
Marinette bounced up and down in place. “Then so am I!”
“Oh?” Alya leaned forward with a smirk. “What happened to not having the time?”
“I will find the time, I promise. But gaming with friends? And Adrien? Too good an opportunity to pass up.” She met Nino’s eyes and had the good graces to look sheepish.
“Nah, don’t worry about it. If this means I get more players, than I don’t mind.” He turned towards his girlfriend. “Speaking of more players… Now everybody else is in. How ‘bout you?”
Alya rolled her eyes with a smile. “I guess someone has to keep an eye on you hooligans.”
“Nice. This is going to be great!”
-------------------
Nino: And… we… are… LIVE!
We’ve been expecting you, Adrien Agreste
Marinette joined your party. Everyone look busy!
Alya is here, just as the prophecy foretold.
Nino: Say hello everybody
Adrien: Hello everybody
Nino: You’re hilarious
Marinette: hello! Hey guys!
Alya: Sup
Nino: We’ll be using this Discord server for all Dnd related things, k? Mostly for planning new sessions
Adrien: What about… spicy memes?
Nino: Know what, bro? I’ll make a channel that you can spam to your hearts content
Adrien: <3
Nino has changed his name to Lord DM
Alya: Seriously
Lord DM: Definitely
Adrien has changed his name to Adrien Regreste
Alya: Pffft
Adrien Regreste: Come on, Mari! Its what all the cool kids are doing!
Alya: Hey now
Marinette has changed her name to marinoodles
Marinoodles: ...How’s that?
Adrien Regreste: ;-; Its so cute. And also hilarious??
Marinoodles: I mena thank you! *mean
Alya has changed her name to Alya’ll Beware
Alya’ll Beware: Sweetie you know you can just edit your comments right
Marinoodles: ...Now I do.
Lord DM: Lol Anyway. How’s this weekend looking?
Alya’ll Beware: Just jumping right into it, arent you? But yeah I’m free
Marinoodles: I babysit Manon on sunday but saturday is clear!
Adrien Regreste: I can pull off saturday! Where are we meeting??
Lord DM: Whoever we meet at provides food. Since I am DM, I am exempt. (Plus my place is always supes crowded)
Adrien Regreste: Uh I can probably manage it off. Father will be out of town with Nathalie. The Gorilla is much more lenient hwen it’s just us.
Marinoodles: Gret sounding! *Thta sounds gerat! **That sounds great!
Adrien Regreste: Haha, yeah! I’m pumped to have you guys over. :)
----------------
Despite Nino’s fear of a repeat from last time, none of them were thrown out or belittled on their way to Adrien’s room. The worst that any of them received was an uncertain glare from the Gorilla as they filed upstairs.
As it turned out, the most difficult problem they had to face was Adrien’s purchasing habits. Nino had to explain to him that even though they were teenagers playing D&D, there was no way they’d be able to get through five pizzas and all the drinks he’d ordered. After he’d extracted a promise not to go overboard again, Nino went straight into explaining the basics and had them roll for stats.
“You sure about this, dude?” Nino leaned over Adrien’s shoulder and frowned at his character sheet. “I get you’re gonna be a bard, but max Charisma and low Wisdom just sounds like a recipe for disaster.”
Nino could just barely overhear Alya whisper to Marinette, “Attractive but kinda dense? Doesn’t that sound like someone we know…?”
“ALYA,” Marinette whispered back in a scandalized tone.
“Maybe, but that just means it might be more memorable, right?” Adrien looked up at Nino and couldn’t hold out against the excitement he saw in his eyes.
“Sure, bro.” Nino walked over to the girls. “And how’re you two hanging?” He craned his neck to see where Marinette was sticking her highest stats. “Dexterity… and intelligence? Good choices for a rogue.”
Marinette smiled. “Thanks! I’ve been thinking about her background. Get this - the rebel daughter of an elven baron.” She nudged Alya. “Pretty neat, right?”
“Wow, that sounds way cool, Marinette!” Adrien beamed at her and she melted.
“Than- than- Thanks, Adrien! You’re cool too!” She winced, but Adrien’s smile didn’t dim.
Nino raised an eyebrow as he noticed her hit points. “But, uh, why’d you stick your lowest stat in Constitution? Your dude isn’t gonna be able to take a hit.”
A sly smirk spread across her face. “I won’t need to take a hit if I play my character right.”
“Heh. Fair enough.” Nino turned his attention to Alya’s sheet, only to see it blank. “Um, something wrong, babe?”
“I dunno.” Alya shrugged. “I’m not big into games like you guys are, so its all going in one ear and out the other.”
“Well…” Nino took a seat next to her and thumbed through the core rulebook. “Maybe we should just keep it simple, right? So you can get your bearings.”
“A fighter?” Alya raised an eyebrow. “Seems kinda boring.”
“Yeah? How about a knight errant, looking for glory to make her name in the world? Rushing forward to defend the weak from the strong? Still sound boring?”
A grin split her face. “Now you’re speaking my language, cappy.”
“That’s Lord DM Cappy to you, babe.”
“Don’t push it.”
“Okay, so let me see if I get where we’re standing.” Adrien pushed the hair out of his face and looked at the three of them. He pointed to himself. “I’m a half-elf bard.” The finger shifted to Marinette who blushed and frantically waved at him. “Elven rogue.” Alya fell under his digit next. “Human fighter. Where does that leave you, Lord DM Cappy?”
Alya groaned and Nino chuckled. “Since someone needs to watch out for you guys, I’m going to be playing a human cleric. A priest of the sun.”
“Sounds like we’re pretty well balanced? Well,” Adrien ducked his head. “Except for me. Maybe it’d be better if I just played a wizard…?”
“N-no!” Marinette quickly interjected. “Adrien, you can be what-whatever you want to be!”
“Dude has a point. There is more to having fun than being the most efficient party possible, bro.”
“Alright.” Adrien relaxed. “Awesome.”
“Now, let’s get everything else sorted for character creation. And while we do that, I can tell you a little about the world you find yourselves in…”
As Nino began by telling them of the Good King Hamon, he felt a spark light up from within. He could already tell this was going to be the best campaign.

Lover Album Review 2020
Hello, I hope everyone is doing good! How’s the Rapunzel-ing going on?
I just got an email from work confirming about my termination. Great! Keep the good news coming! It keeps getting worse. I just hope that I’ll get my unemployment insurance and the stimulus check. If not… I don’t know. Have faith!
Anywayyy… Soon you’ll get better! We’ll get better! Soon! Just like what Taylor said. Speaking of Taylor Swift… In times like these, when you’re in a quarantine, bored, or sad, she’ll be there to help you fight it thru her songs. Yes T. Swizzle, our queen, our hero haha! I have a lot of time so I am going to make a review of her 7th album, Lover. This is a review from a lover (no pun intended :))) or a fan so this will be like 100% good vibes. Negativity is not allowed here. No rats allowed here. This is a review from a fan that played the album a hundred times already or should I say a million times hehe. This is a review from a fan, not a musician or an expert from the industry so this is a jargon-free review haha! So here we go! And this is gonna be quite long so patience my friend.
“Welcome to bridge city!”. If your town needs someone to build a bridge, just message Taylor. All the bridge parts in this album are phenomenal.  If Red is a TS autumn album, definitely Lover is for summer. It’s perfect that she released it summer. What confused me is, why it got snubbed at Grammys? Why? How? Or at least give the Grammy to Norman Fucking Rockwell! Ugh. Going back to the topic… Lover is like the summation of all her past albums but mostly from 1989 and Reputation. She also introduced new sounds due to new collaborations in writing and producing. From her past pop albums, mostly it’s just with Jack Antonoff and now she’s with Joel Little also. I was expecting a deluxe/extended version of the album though! 18 songs are not enough haha!
*FYI, Taylor brought back the 80’s music in the industry with her album 1989 (2014). She’s the one who started it. The rest just followed. I’m not starting a fight here haha!
I Forgot That You Existed – This song is really a good opening. A feel-good song. The perfect song when you wake up. Also I think, this song will be a good single. The music video can be like, walking on a field or like just biking on the street with a sunny weather haha! With this song, she wants us to know that her dark era (Best comeback & tour ever! Like ever.) is done and that she’s completely over with this DJ (I forgot his name jk. ) who had a show that nobody came haha jk!
Cruel Summer – Best song ever. I mean, aside from All Too Well and Our Song haha! … And Getaway Car. Damn, don’t ask me about her best song coz I’m not sure if can answer that. Because they’re all good! They’re the best. Same with asking me her worst song! My answer will be forever N/A! Anyway, no doubt that this song is the continuation of Getaway Car. Try to put this song next to Getaway Car, I’ll give you $100 if you disagree. The closing beat of GC really fits CS. Let’s talk about the bridge of this song. It’s a masterpiece. This bridge is so good that in the future it can be like historical where students study it for their literature subject hehe. It’s so good that Taylor even repeated the bridge at the ending. If you’ll be reading this Taylor, please release this as a single! Pretty please with sugar on top! When you didn’t release Getaway Car as a single, I got sick. I can’t talk, eat, and even move due to frustration haha jk! But please! Release this on summer! Music video ideas? Just PM haha! Would it be cool if the music video will start at the last part of Getaway Car?
Lover – The first time I heard this, I was like… I wish I have someone right now to dance on this song. Are they married already? Engaged? Definitely, my wedding song. No Lover, no wedding haha!
The Man – This should be the first single in my opinion. The message is perfect and it’s catchy and unique. But I guess, they released Me! because it’s good for all ages.
The Archer – I don’t know but this song makes me really sad. The saddest track 5 song. And I think this track 5 song is kind of different compare to others coz this is about all your struggles in life, not just with a heartbreak? Well, that’s my interpretation haha! Please don’t kill me if its different from yours.
I Think He Knows – Yeah I know, another great song haha! I mean duh, they’re all great. I don’t need to tell it. Everytime I hear this song, Janelle Monáe keeps popping up from my head. She can have this song!
Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince – When I first saw the title I was like, is this a Fall Out Boy song? The first time I heard it, this is a good OST!
Paper Rings – Cute song. Another song that is perfect for OST. A rom-com movie!
Cornelia Street – The storytelling here is really good (Shout out to All Too Well again!) especially when you’re familiar with the place. I even tried to listen to it while walking on the street of Cornelia haha! Then it rained jk. Now I just need to rent a place in Cornelia street. Typed it casually in my room. Not my car. No pun intended hehe.
Death By A Thousand Cuts – This is like Look What You Made Me Do part 2 due to the horror vibe that I get from this song haha! The title and the my, my part along with that background sound that you usually hear in some horror movies. But the guitar part in the chorus makes me want to cry from being heartbroken and how life can be beautiful haha! When the album got released, this song was on repeat.
London Boy – Now everyone wants a London Boy and boys from London couldn’t be more proud of themselves. I hear This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things in this song.
Soon You’ll Get Better – Let me get a tissue first before I start with this song. Jk. I didn’t cry after hearing this song for the first time but I got headache due to resisting it hehe. If this song didn’t do anything for you, you’re a monster, a rat. :))) BTW, it’s so nice to hear Dixie Chicks again after a long time. I love their version of Can’t Hurry Love haha!
False God – Sexy saxophone hello! I feel like it’s a grown up song that’s why I cant relate haha! A coat and tie song. You know what I mean? Don’t worry, me too. It’s a sexy song, a date song. Like a good background when you’re having a dinner date (in NYC) and the next deed after that date. *Insert devil emoji.
You Need To Calm Down – I failed to calm down after seeing the music video of this. Queens everywhere in the music video. The message and video are indeed powerful.
Afterglow – When you want to emote, this song will help you. Feel free to do an interpretative dance. This will help you to calm down and be relaxed after what You Need To Calm Down served us.
Me! – Yes with the exclamation point! This song never fails to startled me especially after playing Afterglow. The silence and then suddenly… “I promise that…” haha! Like, WTF Taylor stop scaring me haha! But I won’t really forget the excitement I had when I was waiting for the release of the music video and the feeling of seeing it for the first time. Priceless. Definitely, this will be the encore song for the tour!
It’s Nice To Have A Friend – Is this about wedding? But what I’m really sure of is that this song is perfect for winter. You’re inside your room next to your window drinking hot chocolate watching snow fall, confirming if all snowflakes are really different from each other and this is your background music.
Daylight – I lost count already on how many times I used this song as a background music for my sunrise/sunset Instagram story. I agree with you Taylor, you are what you love. And the Red reference, brilliant! You know what, even until now I still can’t decide which closing song is the best. Clean or this? Or Begin Again? Here we go again… I. don’t. know. Coz they’re all great haha! Is it just me because I’m a Gemini or is it really hard to decide which one is her best song because all of Taylor’s songs are so good and incomparable!
Andddd we’re done haha! Reading is fun! Right? Haha! Stay Safe!
