Would anybody be interested in buying simple like, idk, $5 chibi drawings you could use as a profile pic or something?? I’d love to do it!!

[cyndrastic]

ok so y’all seemed to like the first part of the Fairly Odd Parents AU so here’s more characters!!

Tolkien and Jimmy are AJ and Chester!! They’re Clyde’s best (and only) friends at school! As I was making this au I realized how oddly well Tolkien and Jimmy actually match AJ and Chester character wise, so not much has to be changed for them honestly. Meanwhile I needed a character to be Vicky so I figured “hey Clyde has a sister doesn’t he?” so boom there she is.

more in depth character descriptions under the cut for those who want them!

Tolkien is the smart rich kid who tries and generally fails to talk sense into Jimmy and Clyde, and is the only one of the three with any brain cells. Also probably the only neurotypical one of the three. He’s also the only one in school who will point out when stuff randomly changes, usually in benefit of Clyde. Like, he’s the one who always notices when Clyde suddenly has a new super expensive looking bike, or he’s suddenly the most popular guy in school for like 3 days before everything just goes back to how it was for no reason. Tolkien is the only one who notices and is concerned with this.

These changes are obviously Clyde making wishes, and it scares Tweek that Tolkien will eventually figure out that Clyde has fairy god parents. Tweek wants to wipe Tolkien’s memory every time he notices a spell, but Clyde and Craig stop him. Craig thinks it’s hilarious because in all his time being a godparent, no godkid’s friends have ever noticed anything wrong until Tolkien, so he’s automatically Craig’s second favorite human (second to Clyde).

He rewards Tolkien for this by letting him be the only human that can hold or play with him when he’s in his pet form (like how Cosmo and Wanda become goldfish, Craig is a guinea pig) without getting bit when the trio hangs out at Clyde’s house.

Jimmy, for the sake of this au, will not be as dirt poor as Chester is in the actual show cause idk what good that does for this au lol. Otherwise Jimmy is the wisecracking friend who has a good heart and pure intentions most of the time but covers it with crude humor and kinda offensive jokes. Also he sucks at reading a room (me coded) and can never tell when his comedic genius won’t be appreciated (the deleted scene of him making a joke about Clyde killing his mom to Clyde like the day after it happened lives in my head rent free it’s so funny) His hair is also wavy cause I said so and that’s just how I like to draw Jimmy, i do what i want.

Also, just like how Tolkien is Craig’s second favorite human, Jimmy is Tweek’s. Most of the time when Jimmy cracks a joke, even if it’s a supremely unfunny one, Tweek laughs at it. Tweek’s pet form is a parrot, so that means if he’s chilling as an animal he can still talk and laugh. Jimmy thinks it’s hilarious that Clyde’s bird finds him so funny and Jimmy will frequently go to Clyde’s house to write and test out new comedy routines for Tweek because he’s “such a terrific audience.” Craig kinda hates it but won’t object because Tweek genuinely enjoys it.

Clyde and Craig don’t understand how Tweek finds Jimmy genuinely funny all the time, but it’s literally only because Tweek has spent the majority of his life around Craig, who is incredibly blunt, sarcastic to a fault, and so unfunny it hurts. Craig is only ever funny by being overtly honest when he doesn’t need to be (autism moment), and couldn’t make a normal joke if his life depended on it (if i may remind anyone of the Craig clip: “i got a good one: why do girls wear makeup and perfume? because they’re ugly and they stink” this man would not know a joke if it punched him in the face)

Lizzie is Clyde’s older sister. Shes a good bit older than him, Clyde being around 15 years old and her being around 22. She’s a massive bitch and has always been mean to Clyde, but it got worse once their mom died and she blamed it on Clyde (Betsy died the same way in canon as in this au, so it is kinda Clyde’s fault but still, he was 8). Luckily with her being way older than Clyde, she lives at college, but he has to deal with her whenever she goes home and during her school’s breaks. She takes Vicky’s role in this au so even if she isn’t an evil babysitter, she acts similarly to Clyde as Vicky does to Timmy.

She’s one of the reasons Clyde even gets god parents: abusive older sister, dead mom who’s death was because of him, crazy teacher (Garrison is his own level of traumatizing just as he is in the canon of the show but i haven’t decided if i wanted him to be exactly like Crocker yet), and Roger (Clyde’s dad) is ok but he’s kinda neglectful cause he’s mourning his wife and has to work double to support his kids now that Betsy is dead.

Going to be keeping it absolutely real on here as I always do when things get bad. I'm starting to think that it might not get better after all I can't lie. I'm just so sad and angry and mad and lonely all the time. I moved away from home two years ago and I can't hold on to any stable relationships and I'm basically all alone here and I feel like such an idiot for complaining about it because it's nobody's fault that I don't go anywhere and I am bad at talking to people or holding on to relationships. it's completely my fault and I know it's up to me to change it but I've never been good at making friends and that hasn't changed just because I'm not 16 or 11 or 5 years old anymore and I'm still not quite sure how to go about it.

It's been 2 years and Canada doesn't feel like a foreign place anymore .I know my way around and I know how to get stuff done and it has already set in that this is my life now and I guess this just means that my life now is just me by myself with everyone I know and love 1800 miles away.

And even then half the time it still feels like I don't have anyone because my sister hardly answers her phone and my other sister and I have literally only known each other for a month and I don't even know her middle name yet and my mom has got a new job and doesn't have time to call me like she used to and so I don't even feel like I have my mommy anymore and my best friend is already dealing with so much and I wish I could turn back time and bring her loved one back to life but I cant and I feel so empty thinking about how she must feel and I'm not comfortable with anybody else so other than those people.

I'm a year away from graduating with a degree in a field that I hate and I can't find any internships or working experience because everything is so experience based and I am so bad at all this stuff and my grades are so mediocre and I don't have anything that makes me stand out and at this point I'm worried that I won't even be good enough for grad school. When I find a part of this wretched degree that I actually like I cannot seem to do well in it despite the fact that I actually care enough to study and do work in it and it's just so demotivating. And even if I do somehow manage to get a job I'm never going to be able to afford a house and I want to have a house so bad I don't like renting I want to have a backyard and I want my own kitchen and I want to decorate my house the way I feel like when I feel like it but everything is so expensive and I hate my shitty customer service job because I hate talking to people and I don't want to stand for 6 hours and fake smile and listen to the same songs play over and over again for 6 hours anymore but I can't leave my job because no one else is hiring me.

And I have to keep pretending like everything is okay when every time I turn on my phone and go out to social media I see something else indicating that we are witnessing the decline of man as we know it and there's kids dying in so many places all over the world and people getting their homes destroyed and no matter how much I try and raise awareness and no matter how much money I give and how much I talk about it there's really nothing changing and I go outside and somebody asks me for spare change to buy a coffee so they don't freeze in the below zero weather and I wish I could put them in a house but I don't even have a house of my own. And I used to be able to look around and find even the beauty in the smallest things and to not think the worst of people and to give everyone the benefit of the doubt for the most part but now I can't help but wonder if this person thinks genocide and exploitation and mindless killing and destruction is a good thing. And I hardly see anybody talking about Sudan or Congo or Senegal or Haiti or Madagascar and it feels like african people are just always doomed to be pushed to the back burner even by black people in the diaspora and I try to be positive because if the people in those countries haven't given up hope why should I but sometimes I just get so sad.

And despite going to therapy and going on meds I still look in the mirror and hate myself and I remember that my problems are so paltry and poor compared to what's going on in the rest of the world and that I feel worse because it doesn't make me hate how I look or who I am less and the world just won't stop turning and we never get a break we just have to keep going until we die no matter how bad things get and it's not fair and I'm so tired I just need it all to stop for a second. Looking at my life feels like reading the bell jar knowing that sylvia plath wrote a book about a depressed woman and ended up killing herself. I feel doomed

walks in with my clown shoes squeaking. hi everyone it's emmy (stevie + yuji typist) !! here with my brain child of a third muse miss sua!! :3 i'm still fine tuning some stuff on her pages in the mean time-- but i'd love to get started on plotting!! i'll list a few things under the cut to get a jump on things! i'll also tag sua's profile and plotting page! very excited to share her with you all <3 i'll be happy to plot either on tumblr, or i have a discord if that's preferred !! not everything is listed below but we can also talk during plotting too :3 if you're interested in plotting with sua, please like this & i'll come visit you!

unlike stevie and yuji who i'd say are nicer and approachable, sua is more on the meaner side! she's much more likely to be called unfriendly and rude.

she's generally pretty mean or uncaring to most people she doesn't know, but she is incredibly kind to the elderly. it's a jarring personality change that might catch someone off-guard-- but she respects her grandfather so much that it feels wrong to her to not be kind to her elders

she works at a pc bang and also streams a few nights a week! usually her streams are digital art streams of her sketching or she's playing one of her favorite games and chatting with her viewers idly; she also takes commissions if she has free time to make a few extra bucks too! her streaming schtick is that she's kinda mean and no nonsense. she doesn't mind idly talking about her day or her interests if other people show an interest in it! she hates criticism though or just people saying dumb shit. her chat likes to take bets on how many people she'll ban because she kinda goes crazy with it

she wants to go to art school as her main focus, but she's focusing on working and saving a lot of money right now so she can!!

she loves animals (besides birds, mostly pigeons)!! though she's allergic to cats so if you have one, she'll definitely sneeze a lot LOL

chaotic bisexual!! she's very hedonistic at her core. after a long work week she tends to go out over the weekend and go crazy!!

she's also trying to break a smoking habit so feel free to yell at her or scold her! i can't say it might not end up in an argument or a fight but it'd be fun LOL

she's a scrapper...so she's ready to swing if needed LOL and she will if she feels threatened or aggravated enough, fair warning! she's been wanting to take boxing classes so that could be smth...

she's very straightforward!! she's blunt and pretty callous with her words sometimes, and she's not sorry about it. the world is tough and damn she knows it!!

she's not super into idols and stuff, but she knows a couple!! she definitely doesn't keep up with stuff like that unless the people around her expose her to it a lot

she's a big nintendo fan!! she's a huge fan of the legend of zelda series, and if she's streaming a game it's most of the time expected to be zelda!

she's lowkey addicted to getting tattoos they're just expensive

some plot ideas!!

she does have an open position for her mysterious and estranged older brother that i'd love to have!! some extra plotting for this though if someone is interested!

roommates!!! ideally i imaged her living in a house with 2-4 people to combat rent :3

art friends!!! talk art and stuff :3

fellow streamer friends!! or colleagues!!! it can be a fake working relationship or antagonistic or genuine friends if we can work past sua's attitude problem :3

enemies, friends you name it...maybe even extended family!

sua's weekend partying outings are usually filled with drinking and hooking up, typically! she uses the work week to recuperate so you won't see her out then, but the weekends she's always out and about. usually. maybe partying friends or people who's used to seeing her out on the night scene, etc.

gets herself into trouble and fights a lot, so maybe someone on the opposing side or someone who has to step in!

maybe a role-model esque sort of figure?? besides her grandfather she doesn't have an idea of a good one, and especially being away from her family it'd be nice for her to have one even if she'll fight tooth and nail against it

i'd love exes or past flings!! sua's not the best in a relationship because she spends more time in the chase / lead up and afterwards she just...flops. she's a terrible partner and she knows it. but she also looks for people who are also ideally not the best or easy for her to manipulate.

she's still learning piano and the ocarina just so she can play her favorite songs on them-- so maybe people with similar instrument interests?

[vvatchword]

I fucking moved. Fuck that city in particular and fuck everybody in it except for the cool Bat Dude and the lady who gave me a ride so I didn't get rained on and the nice old grandpa who saw me staring into space at the hamburger joint (as one does).

Yes, I got into a stranger's car, but look. She was very nice and she reminded me of a dear friend, and I was so darkly miserable that the fact she asked was like a little ray of sunshine. Like look. Not everybody is fucking horrid, sometimes they're a nice librarian-looking lady in an SUV.

Oh, now I can't stop thinking of nice people. Let's face it: there were plenty of nice folks there. It's just that I'm not made for cities. There's what I thought I wanted and there's what I actually wanted.

I hate cities

I hate noise

I hate traffic

I hate rich people

I hate pollution (and so does my bird)

I hate the horrifying cost of living

I hate lights and need a real nighttime. If I can't see stars I begin to die. If your lights are so bright the moon disappears, you're too damn bright

I HATE public transit because...

I hate having to maneuver around homeless shenanigans. You know how many times I'd be genuinely terrified per month? Way too many times.

There were too many people everywhere I went. I would try to go shopping early to avoid rubbing shoulders and end up rubbing shoulders. There was just no easy way to avoid crowds.

Tamed nature. Do you know what I mean? Nature made as humans desire it, not nature existing outside of humankind. At the very least--nature that hasn't seen more than two separate human beings per month. I have learned a brand new appreciation for wastelands. I am not renewed by a park with a tree in it. I need to see land that doesn't need a sprinkler system.

I was constantly overwhelmed and I never got to do anything fun because I was too poor. Cool shit happens here, too, though. So I'm just going to try and go to something nice at least once per month. It's more expensive because you have to drive, but it's less expensive on the whole because half of my income isn't going to rent.

Moving was a nightmare. I basically packed up and left in a week. My dad contracted some friends from his church. They said they could help me pack if I wasn't done yet. Joke's on me: those guys didn't give a single fuck. They launched my belongings like we were Cape Canaveral. I thought I was going to die from the agony of seeing brain-dead rednecks bodyslam my books into boxes. I still haven't found parts of my stuff yet. Who knows where it's all gone. I'll find it eventually? I guess?

I proceeded to drive home in the dark and the rain, where I chugged energy drinks and longed for death. I stopped once to buy the best possible snacks I could find (Muddy Buddies, Dot's Pretzels, some donuts. My life is falling apart. I deserve nice things). My traveling partner was the sole surviving African Dwarf Frog (long story, but they started dying one by one, and she is the last).

Got home and weeks of abuse caught up to me. I proceeded to fall into a catatonic state for about two days. Caught up with myself today and finally set my PCs up. I have two; one is an old-school mid-tier gaming device from like. 2012. The other is my custom-built gaming PC from about three years ago. Anyway. I've been wanting to make them both dual-monitor machines but I had to do some troubleshooting, and I figured it out today.

I can't connect to ethernet because this house wasn't built with ethernet in mind. It's going to have to be WiFi. Ewwww. Oh well

Being home is a HUGE relief. My parents are ecstatic to have me. The DOG is ecstatic to have me. The bird is angry because I can just straight-up leave his sight now. The apartment may have been a hideous, dimly-lit hole, but it was a SMALL hideous, dimly-lit hole, and he knew where I was at all times. He has to hunt for me now and he hates it.

I can begin job-hunting again in earnest, as well as begin NaNoWriMo. I need to hit 5,000 words today. Wish me luck lol

That period of life where your supposed to buckle down and get serious about your life has been getting progressively pushed back to younger and younger years.

It used to be late 20s after you've finished college (and all the dumb stuff people did while they were young).

Then it was pushed back to the college years, forcing new adults to leap into responsibility without even the opportunity to make mistakes or else it would effect them for the rest of their careers. And that was for the millennials.

Now for GenZ that all happened while they were in high school, or now while they are still in high school. Only no one fucking told us that was going to happen. the oldest of us had to figure it out by fucking it up.

I graduated high school with an A B average, Medals in Visual arts UIL, and having finished all my required courses before my senior year then voluntarily taking two advanced sciences classes as extra curricular. Almost everyone in my graduating class flopped so hard out of highschool that it made our fucking heads spin. Just about all of us are either unemployed and living with our parents or working two plus jobs and renting a shitty apartment with roommates.

We graduated during the pandemic and also became adults during a horrible economic crisis, so I'm sure that has a lot to do with it. But that does not change the fact that the only people I know of who actually made anything of themselves after graduation were the ones already taking dual enrollment and college courses when they were in highschool.

just a few years later my little sister and all of her friends are taking college courses in highschool. She's graduating from highschool with a medical degree and going straight into a career.

Which don't get me wrong, I'm so proud of her, but god damn, where did the time go? She went through four years of medical classes while still too young to drive. to drink. to do anything resembling Adulthood. Where did her fucking childhood go? The one thing she did for enjoyment was having an extra curricular. Either dance or competitive theater UIL.

And my sister is certainly not what you'd consider a nerd. I was the nerdy sibling. I had the college reading level in the 4th grade. I had honor role grades and took pre AP/ AP courses. I was the high achiever. I did community service and won awards and competed.

She was just a normal kid. Totally average. Which I do not say disparagingly. I say it to illustrate just how serious things are getting out here. The reason she knew she had to step up is because I failed. And I failed because they are making things so much harder all the time and they aren't bothering to tell us until it's too late.

It's great that she has the security of that degree. But she's only 18, what if she hates it? What if college continues being so expensive that she can't afford a degree in anything else? What happens then? She's only 18 and the most pivotal decision she'd made about her future was when she was 14.

What happens next? How are they going to push this responsibility off on even younger kids? And how many are going to fall through the cracks when they do?

Maybe this is the wrong platform to pose this question given the average tumblr user but

Is it just me or did our generation (those of is who are currently 20-30 ish) just not get the opportunity to be young in the 'standard' sense?

Like, everyone I talk to who's over 40 has all their wild stories about their teens and 20s, being young and dumb, and then I talk to my friends and coworkers and classmates, and we just... dont.

[atlafan]

okay, I know a lot of you are starting college/university this year, so here are some things yall need to know/understand (I’m a first year academic advisor FYI):

no one is going to hold your hand. Many places consider you a legitimate adult at this point. Nothing will be spelled out for you completely.

GOOGLE IS A THING! I know when you don’t know something your instinct is to email someone, but often times if you Google the name of your college + whatever you have a question about, you can find the answer that way

Please remember that your professors/advisor are people too! A lot of us don’t check email on the weekends or after certain business hours. Please don’t ask to meet them on a weekend, or during the noon lunch hour. We need to rest too.

Your professors aren’t going to email you about every little thing, they’re just not. Some might, but most won’t. READ YOUR SYLLABUS! CHECK YOUR COURSE PAGES! As far as buying books? Your college bookstore website should have a search engine for looking up what you need for each class. Start there, then you can go onto Amazon, eBay, chegg, etc to find the best deal. If it’s a gen ed, just rent. If it’s a book for a major course, buy it. And listen, I know we all hate amazon, but but amazon student is amazing, less expensive than a regular amazon account, and you can save way more on books and supplies.

JOIN CLUBS, GO TO EVENTS! You’re not going to make friends sitting alone in your dorm room. I know it seems scary to venture out, but trust me, getting involved in campus activities (even if you’re commuting) is the best way to meet people and not feel alone.

UTILIZE CAMPUS RESOURCES!! Have an IEP or 504 plan? GO TO YOUR CAMPUS ACCESSABILITY SERVICES! They can give you what you need. Get tutoring right away, SEE YOUR ADVISOR, go to the counseling center if you’re not feeling well mentally!! All of this stuff is included in your tuition, use it!

CHECK YOUR FUCKING SCHOOL EMAIL!! I know yall like to text, but please. Don’t email using your personal email (gmail, iCloud, yahoo), USE YOUR SCHOOL EMAIL! Read things through carefully. Departments on campus email you for a reason.

REGISTER FOR CLASSES ON TIME!! At some point you’ll meet with your advisor to discuss classes for the following semester, and they will give you a registration date. WAKE UP EARLY ON THAT DATE AND FUCKING REGISTER! Then you don’t have to worry about getting into the classes you need.

Exercise. Get out of your rooms. Even if it’s just a walk to get some fresh air. Your diet/eating habits are going to change drastically. Please don’t skip meals. Make sure you’re eating. I was a very unhealthy student and would barely eat. PLEASE EAT!

GO TO CLASS AND YOU WILL PASS! Your parents/guardians won’t be there to nag you. It’s on you to get into a routine and schedule. I know it’s tempting to skip, but unless you’re sick, don’t skip class. You or your parents are paying for that class. And if you fail, you have to retake it, which means paying for it again, and paying for an extra class to make up for the credits you’re missing.

CHECK YOUR BILLS! If you’re paying for school on your own, please check your bills. Financial offices will put holds on your accounts if you can’t pay. STAY AWAY FROM PRIVATE LOANS! You’ll be paying off the interest for the rest of your life, it’s not worth it. Most schools will help you set up a payment plan. I recommend calling those offices directly as opposed to emailing, you’ll get more direct help.

Save your money for doing laundry.

Don’t pack a ton of shit. You can go home and swap out clothes at some point.

Get a lanyard for your student ID, idc if you think it makes you look stupid. If you lose your ID it can cost a lot of $$$ to replace it.

Never leave your room without your key. Taking a shower? Great! Your roommate left and locked the door behind them. Good thing you had your key in your shower caddy!

SHOWER SHOES! Get a cheap pair of flip flops to wear in the shower. Girls, yall are gross. I can’t tell you how many times there was hair all over the shower, or a used tampon flung into the corner. Please clean up after yourselves. Don’t leave makeup in the sink. Bathrooms are a COMMUNITY SPACE, be courteous.

If you want to go out and party, that’s fine, but keep your priorities straight. Are you at school to party and drink, or are you there to get an education and eventually a job?

GO TO CAREER SERVICES! They can help you with your resume, and do mock interviews.

GO TO YOUR ALUMNI OFFICE! Alums love helping students find internships and jobs. The people in that office can help you get in contact with the them.

This is all I can think of for now, but for the love of god, heed my warnings. College can be a wonderful time to learn and grow as a person, but it can also be really depressing and tough. Seek help, get involved, and go to class. Good luck! 💕

Old love

Characters: Liam Dunbar x male reader, Isaac Lahey x male reader

Universe: Teen Wolf

Warnings: Break up, near death

Everyone always believes in the best of their boyfriends. There are no red flags or problems of any kind. When he begins to distance himself for no reason or affection, he always presents himself, slowly fades into the background. Not even when he finds an insane number of ways not to meet up, almost always telling right before the meeting that he can't make it.

All of these were my thoughts too. I never saw anything wrong with it. I had more time to learn or play sports, meet with my friends and even have time with my siblings.

But it began to crumble as the time neared our first anniversary. Not only that, but it also was my last year at school, and my boyfriend would be there at least one year longer.

We didn't have much time left, especially since I was already accepted into my dream university, nearly two thousand miles from my love. He didn't know about it because why sour the mood?

But since our first anniversary was fast approaching, I wanted to tell him and reassure him that everything would be perfect. That I would come as often as possible. I would even fly him out to see me.

I even had asked my older brother for a favor, to give me tickets to one of his profi lacrosse games. He was my boyfriend's hero. Just a bit more to spoil him.

In addition, I even put our anniversary in a restaurant that I bought out for the whole evening with the help of my parents so that we could be all alone.

Just as I was about to take him away, he told me he would meet me there. It spoiled my mood a bit because I wanted to surprise him, but I loved him, so I did as he wanted. 

I told the staff there that I would wait for a little for my date. They kindly reassured me that it was perfectly normal. To be completely honest, it felt like a lie. As if they wanted to prepare me for heartbreak.

I waited twenty minutes patiently, with my gifts on the table, playing with some of the ribbons. It took me hours to pack some of the stuff up. Especially the expensive lacrosse stick my brother recommended to me. All the lacrosse talent lay in him. I was more of a gymnast and swimmer. But this was never a problem between anyone and me.

The twenty minutes I waited slowly became thirty and then forty minutes. After those forty minutes, I almost gave up until my waiter came. I must’ve looked dumbfounded as the person who would serve me.

"Isaac?" I asked, completely confused.

The boy in front of me was shocked too. „(Y/N), what are you doing here?“ He asked as calmly and professionally as he could. Considering what happened between us and his disappearance, that was already a lot.

„I asked first.“ My smirk grew as a slight blush came across his face.

„But I asked a ‘real’ question,“ he pushed back cheekily. 

I almost forgot why I was there until I saw the gifts back on the table. „Getting stood up by my boyfriend,“ I lamented to him.

„Oh,“ was everything that he said. He must’ve understood that I was the idiot who rented the restaurant out.

„Don't worry. It is not the first time.“ I did not know why I told him this, but it just felt right at the moment. I hated just taking in everything that was happening. Despite all my love, I started to resent my boyfriend for doing this to me again.

„If he isn’t here in twenty minutes, how about I eat with you? So it doesn't look like you're gotten stand-up completely?“

I wasn’t even wondering why he asked about it. I remember clearly how we were fooling around when we were fourteen, and his father found us. From this day on, he kept his distance from me. I never knew why until it came out that his father hit him regularly.

„I would love that. We have a lot to talk about.“

And as Isaac must’ve already felt. My boyfriend did not come at all. After fifty-five minutes, he texted me some bullshit excuse.

So Isaac and I had the meal I wanted to share with Liam. And we talked a lot. He told me everything he had learned in France and that he was back for a month. He studied online but wanted to finish school in person.

I told him all about Liam, how he walked into me and ruined my clothes with cocoa milk. And then another time, when he hit me with his backpack. Or when he threw my books out of my hand in anger. That was the day I put him back into his place.

That's also when Isaac found out from me that I was actually a born werewolf and in Scott's pack for now, after what happened last time. It just wasn’t safe for a lone wolf.

After we ate and caught up, he took me to my car to be sure I was 'safe'. It was cute of him, but it was also a bit unsettling how easy it was for him to weasel his way back into my life.

Not even he could settle the anger growing in my belly. If it had been only the first time something like this had happened, I wouldn't say a word. But this was the last straw. Even though it was ten o'clock in the evening, I drove to Liam's house.

I was sure he hadn't fallen asleep yet because he's never been this early. Therefore I just saw it as okay for me to ask him directly why he stood me up.

And my thoughts were confirmed as I came to a halt at his house. His parents weren’t there. Still, I climbed up to his balcony, which reminded me a bit of `Romeo and Juliet´, just less romantic and angrier.

At first, I couldn’t see anything besides the lights because his bed was on the other side of the doors. I could easily open it, but as always, this idiot never locks it. The moment I could get my head into the room. My world crumbled. No, not crumbled broke into pieces.

I must have made some noises. Because in no time, two heads turned to me. Of the two looks I got, one was absolutely horrified, while the other was almost happy, a victorious smile on her stupid face.

Without saying a word, I turned around and started climbing back down his balcony again. As I tried to put my hand further down, my other hand held me up on the railing. Someone grabbed my hand. 

„It was not what you think it was,“ he tried to excuse his actions. But I was not even giving him a chance to explain. I just wanted out of this… repulsive situation. „Please, give me a chance to explain!“ he tried again. But I just shot him a disapproving look. Instead of backing down, he got more aggressive. He tried to pull me up. But he just broke my grip on the railing. Before Liam or I could understand what had happened, I landed hard on the ground.

Usually, that wouldn't have been a problem. But for some reason. Enormous pain was running through me. I could see my veins getting black. Just then, I saw something sticking out of the middle of my body.

I didn't know what it was, but Liam seemed to know. He started screaming and jumped off the balcony himself. He tried to cradle me in his arms. With what little strength I had left, I tried to push him off of me. I didn't want his cheating, dirty fingers ever to touch me again.

Soon I could no longer feel large parts of my body. And as my eyes began to flatter shut, I could see Scott standing over me. Shortly after, Derek and Deaton replaced him. Until I fell into a deep dark sleep. I felt good - like I was walking on clouds.

Unfortunately, it all fell apart again not long after that when I started to wake up. My body ached, and it felt like I would eventually burn.

As I woke up, I could feel a hand grip tightening around my arm. For just a moment, I felt safe. Nearly as if nothing had happened before. Even with the memories, I thought I was safe.

This was until I slowly opened my eyes. I looked straight into baby blue eyes and cried out. His cheeks were all puffy, as well as his eyes. But I instantly felt dirty. Therefore, I wanted to get away from him if it wasn’t for my weak body. I would’ve tried.

„I'm sorry,“ he said as if it meant anything.

„Get away from me.“

He looked hurt and did not do what I asked him to do. Again I tried to get away, this time with strength I found in the form of adrenaline coursing through my veins. He almost killed me!

In the end, I fell with Liam, and finally, let go of me. A loud agonizing cry came out of my throat. Before Liam could get near me, someone else came into the room.

„Hey, you are awake again,“ he said softly into my ear, „You shouldn't move that much. Deaton had worked hard, so he was able to save your life.“

Even with my eyes half shut in agonizing pain, I could still hear the soft voice Isaac always used for me. Sometimes I believed he thought I was a scared kitten or some shit. And he was the one who was abused, not me.

"Get him away from me!" I begged Isaac while pointing at Liam. But he seemed confused and hesitant.

„Isn’t he your boyfriend you talked about?“

Without waiting for a second, I looked Isaac in the eyes, „I don’t have a boyfriend anymore. He cheated and afterward almost killed me, someone, by throwing me off this stupid balcony!“

That Isaac seemed shocked was an understatement. Liam must’ve told some bullshit lie about all of this. But I didn’t care anymore. I just wanted him out of my eyesight. And Isaac did this for me, with glee in his movements.

He grabbed Liam and carried him outside with almost no resistance. He came back alone, which helped with my surfacing anxiety a lot. Without a word, he laid me back on the table, not without me whimpering, of course.

„I'm sorry, I didn’t know,“ he tried to apologize. 

Before he could say something stupid, which would’ve made me angry, I stopped him with my hand on his arm, „You couldn’t. I believed I could trust him, but obviously, I was wrong. But thank you for helping me.“ 

While I spoke, we locked eyes. I felt a strange feeling in my stomach. Like a thousand butterflies trying to get out. Like when we were younger.

Financial venting/ranting/complaining ahead

I’m so tired of this.

We re-did our budgets and the only thing we have left to cut out is date nights/friend hangs. Because I can’t cut out therapy totally. And we can’t cut out melodys training. It’s been too positive of a change.

In the meantime, I still can’t afford to see any doctors or schedule my adhd assessment. I don’t know where the money goes. The only thing I see when I break down our spending is going out to eat. Like, 100$ a month. And we can’t anymore.

All my friends live hours away, can’t go see them anymore either. It’s too much in gas and they won’t make the drive to me. So I guess I don’t have friends again haha.

Just never gonna leave my house again apparently. If we get to have a house. Because right now it’s looking like we can’t afford the rent increase. We can’t afford to save for a down payment even with the assistance programs.

And I just want to give up. What did i do wrong in life to end up here? Why does having a bachelor degree make me no money? Why can’t my job give us raises so we can fucking afford to have our own place and eat. Because even groceries are getting to be too expensive. We’ve cut back a lot on what we eat. I like to cook a little fancy/multiple ingredients.

Tonight is just chicken rice and beans. We did pasta with chicken the other night. I’m trying to use up the rest of the pasta we have right now but that’s really all we’ve been eating. Which I’m thankful for. I’m just aggravated. We’re in our mid 30s and have nothing to show for it.

We are inviting M’s friend/ex over on Saturday (her wife can’t join us until like, end of May and we need to let our apartment know about our least by mid May) to ask her if we can live with them for a few months.

I hate this. I hate that as two adults with full time jobs, we have to move in with another couple to afford to have something over our heads. The plus side is that it’ll allow us to save and hopefully I will find a higher paying job in Orlando.

I’m sick to my stomach with this move. I’m so scared I won’t find a job. And we’ll have moved away from my steady job. I can’t commute from her house. It’s two hours away from my schools.

I could potentially live with my parents during the week tho. They’re the same distance, possibly closer, to my schools. But that would leave M living with his ex without me during the week.

I think we are at a good place emotionally with all that but living with her and her wife is a whole different ball game and I’m not a fan. But the other option is to renew the lease- not be able to afford anything extra (therapy, dog training. And of course the stuff we can’t afford now) and never get ahead. Like literally just never get ahead. We can’t save anything right now. We could never save for a house down payment like that. And we can’t afford the rent out there. And I can’t get a job out there without having a place secured. My car is not reliable enough right now for that kind of commute.

I just wanna crawl into a hole and never come back out. We shouldn’t be pay check to paycheck. I shouldn’t have to cancel doctor appointments and therapy appointments becsyse we can’t afford it.

I just spent 250$ for my eye exam and lenses. I don’t think I can afford to buy contacts after that. Even tho I did the contact exam too. I haven’t had the extra funds for contacts in over two years. Granted, I do prioritize things over the contacts but it shouldn’t have to be contacts or date night, contacts or melodys training, contacts or Groceries. I’m sick of it.

zukka enemies to roommates au

Sokka slammed his head on the cafe table, the noise swallowed up by the chattering of other customers. “I’m being EVICTED,” he moaned.

Katara raised her eyebrows as she drank her tea and then placed it back on the table. “Why?”

Sokka dragged his head up against the table until his chin was the only thing touching the wood and Katara made a face, no doubt thinking of all the germs that were now rubbed into Sokka’s face like lotion. Sokka couldn’t bring himself to care. He was too deep in his despair. “The landlord sold the building. And now I only have two weeks to move because everything around here is so fucking expensive and I got discouraged so I put it off—“

“Move in with Zuko!”

“...like I put everything—what did you just say?”

Katara’s face brightened, a stark contrast to the cloud of doom that had been enveloping Sokka. “His roommate is moving in with her girlfriend and he needs a new one. A roommate, not a girlfriend. And I think his place is really close to your work, too! It’s perfect!”

Sokka finally sat up, shoving his hands in his sister’s face to turn her brightness down a notch because it was hurting his eyes. “Wait wait wait, are you talking about the Zuko I think you’re talking about?”

“Is there another one?”

Sokka had many questions. “Why do you know he needs a new roommate? Why do you know his roommate is moving in with her girlfriend? How do you know where he lives? Did you just say, ‘it’s perfect’?”

Katara watched Sokka as he grabbed his drink, eyes never leaving her face in a demonstration of his seriousness, and then swallowed painfully with a grimace after realizing he’d grabbed Katara’s bitter tea on accident. “You’re such a goof,” she sighed in anguish. “Zuko and Aang actually went to university together and became friends. Zuko wants to be a teacher like Aang.”

Sokka sputtered. “WHAT?” A few strangers shot him judgmental looks at the outburst, which he ignored. “You—you—he—Aang—BETRAYAL??”

Katara rolled her eyes. “This is why we kept it a secret from you! We all knew you’d be overdramatic about it.”

“We ALL?”

Katara shrugged, finally having enough decency to look sheepish. “Yeah, me, Aang… and Suki and Toph.”

Sokka’s jaw dropped wider. “SUKI?” He clutched his heart. “Mine own bestie...”

Katara continued, “Well, it’s Toph that’s really close to him now, actually.”

“Figures. She’s always been my least supportive friend.” Sokka gasped as a realization hit him. “Is… is Zuko the ‘Captain Angst’ guy she keeps hanging out with??”

“Yeah,” Katara said plainly.

Sokka slammed his head back on to the table, where it might as well have stayed long-term.

“I’m serious, though, Sokka,” said Katara. “Zuko is… kind of okay, and obviously he has everyone else’s approval. You shouldn’t let a petty high school rivalry between you two get in the way of your current life.”

“‘Petty high school rivalry’??? Last I heard, there were four of us involved in the rivalry-ing! You weren’t too fond of him or his sister, either!”

Katara once again rolled her eyes. “All I’m saying is, the place is within your budget, it’s actually nice, and the commute is good. He’s only just started looking for a new roommate, and I promise that if you don’t try it out, you’ll regret it.”

“And all I’m saying is, if we move in together, Zuko and I will murder each other.”

Katara looked at her phone and stood up, collecting her bag and bile tea. “I doubt it. You haven’t spoken in five years, and you’ve both changed a lot. I have to go, Aang wants me to meet another stray dog, and we still have lunch with Yue, so I can’t let him get too carried away. I’ll text you details about Zuko’s place. Please at least look into it, Sokka.”

Her eyes were too genuine; he couldn’t say no. “Fine,” he grumbled, fully prepared to briefly skim over the information before moving on.

But when he did look it over, he saw that Katara was right. It was perfect. He could even walk to work if he wanted to, it was that close. The rent was well in his budget, even leaving extra leftover. He could maybe finally replace his cracked phone screen! Sokka sighed at the dim light of his laptop. The fates were telling him something. It sounded like, You will consciously choose the path of suffering, ahahahahaha.

“Sokka... wants to be my new roommate,” Zuko said.

“Hello to you too, angsty pants,” Toph replied through the phone.

“I think I’m going to say yes,” continued Zuko.

“Wait, Sokka? Katara’s brother?”

Zuko swallowed, eyes flicking to the stir fry he’d left on the stove. He’d been checking the notifications on his phone when he saw it and had immediately called Toph. “Yes.”

“Okay,” Toph offered helpfully.

“What do you think?”

Silence fell for a few seconds as Toph thought it through. “Are you sure it’s a good idea?”

“That’s what I’m asking you for. If he’s reaching out, he knows it’s me, so he can’t still hate me, right?”

“I don’t know,” said Toph. “Don’t you like him?”

Zuko bit his lip and weakly stirred his stir fry. “But it’s not like I’m still—I’m not hopelessly into him. It’s just. You know, a little bit.”

“You’re not even going to interview him? What if he poops with the door open? What if he… what if he eats in the bathroom while he poops.”

“Would I ask him about that in an interview?”

“If you’re not a coward.”

“Okay, I’ll interview him,” Zuko said, relenting. “What do I have to lose?”

To: Katara

Sokka: uuugughghgghghhhhhhh zuko wants to interview me

Katara: You looked into the place!!!

Sokka: yeah but i’m seriously doubting myself now

Sokka: can i really pretend not to hate him long enough to get the place

Katara: Have you considered just

Katara: Not hating him?

Sokka: …

Sokka: how could you even say that

Katara: Ok I thought so

Katara: Well just be professional if you don’t wanna be friendly

Katara: Pretend it’s a job interview

Sokka: oh yeah

Sokka: because imagining that zuko is my employer would definitely not make me hate him 400% more

Katara: On the bright side, you haven’t reached the threshold of hate yet if it can be increased by 400%! There is hope

Sokka: ha

Sokka: i scoff in the face of hope

Sokka let Suki pick out an outfit for him before going to meet Zuko at the cafe they agreed to meet at. He wanted to look nice so that Zuko, at least visually, might be inclined to let him become a flatmate, but mostly he just didn’t want Zuko to have the upper hand anywhere, not even in his fashion sense. And Zuko had grown up with money, so he’d always been well dressed.

Sokka slipped the chosen tan sweater over his button down and pulled on a pair of black jeans. The clothes covered all his tattoos—he was sure Zuko would not appreciate them. His hair, he couldn’t do much about, so he settled for tying it back as he always did.

He was so distracted throughout the train ride thinking about all the valid reasons he had to hate Zuko that he almost forgot to get off at the right stop. But the walk from the station was short, and before he knew it, he was opening glass doors, scanning faces, and—there he was. Hair hanging in his face, chin on his palm, and wearing—a hoodie and ripped jeans? Sokka cleared his mind of surprise and tried to relax his face.

He walked over.

To: Toph

Zuko: It went well?

Toph: Be more specific

Toph: For example, what went well

Zuko: The interview with Sokka

Zuko: I’m pretty sure he doesn’t shit with the door open, and he definitely doesn’t eat in the bathroom

Zuko: He was also

Zuko: really nice

Toph: Really nice to talk to? Or really nice looking?

Zuko: Shut up

Toph: Hm deflection

Zuko: I think you’re wrong

Zuko: I think it won’t be hard to live with him

To: Katara

Sokka: GEEZ THAT WAS SO HARD

Sokka: the whole time he’s being this stiff, boring, JERK

Sokka: i had to smile and nod the whole time

Sokka: no way will this keep up if we live together

Sokka: but i have to think of the commute…..

Sokka: and the view….

Sokka: and i’ll be closer to suki….

Katara: But Sokka, you will try, right?

Sokka: try what

Katara: To be nice to him.

Sokka: uh

Sokka: maybe?

By the end of the next week, Sokka had moved in the last of his boxes. He honestly didn’t have that much stuff. He did have one special thing, though. Or rather, a special friend.

“What are you doing?” Zuko asked, peeking into Sokka’s new room.

Swallowing his annoyance at being interrupted, Sokka gestured for Zuko to join him. They’d only exchanged at most a few sentences a day, and Zuko hadn’t done anything too irritating yet, so Sokka was going to try to keep his promise to Katara.

“This is my turtle, Duck,” he said, pointing to the turtle swimming around in the tank he’d just finished setting back up.

“What’s a turtleduck?” asked Zuko after plopping down beside him.

Sokka frowned. “I don’t know.”

“Then why do you have one?”

Before Sokka could answer, his phone rung from the dresser, its vibration so strong the whole room shook and Duck popped into his shell.

💐 holy shit what if. yandere mafia!SBI. am i just really into the general mafia aesthetic? yes but also it’s swag so i am not in the wrong here

like for all my fellow people in high school: maybe teachers who seemed to hate you before start... trembling when you get to class? it’s almost like they’re afraid to say something wrong, but you assume someone spilled their former attitude to the principal. but that’s not all - bullies almost seem to avoid you, whether they used to target you or not, which is also weird, but you’re not complaining. you don’t realize that it all coincided with the arrival of that new transfer student - what was his name again? it started with a T or something like that, you think.

or maybe you’re already out on your own, and you wake up to find that your rent and debts have been paid by a mysterious benefactor: W.S. sometimes they mail you expensive gifts or love letters, and sure, you were afraid at first, but it makes your life a lot easier not to have to worry about money.

maybe, instead, you work at some kind of minimum wage job, the type where everyone is an asshole because they see you as a servant. maybe your boss snaps at you one too many times, and ends up coming in the next day covered in bruises and practically begging for your forgiveness. it doesn’t stop there. customers who are rude to you never come back in again, and sometimes you even see their faces on the news, reporting them missing or murdered. when you walk alone at night, people steer clear of your path. is it possible to be terrified, even when you’re safe?

alternatively; Philza Minecraft just. snatches you. nobody tells the mafia boss what to do *sax solo*

MMMMM GOOD STUFF

A some boys raised in such an influential and and dangerous family would have no problem using some of that power to make sure their little crush was doing well. While you are rightfully scared about a stalker who could deny that having everyone and anything that causes you an inconvenience suddenly disappear is a little nice. And yes if they really wanted to they could just take you with no trouble, they have more than enough experience to cover it up

[whentherewerebicycles]

okay sigh I slept on the job despair and feel a little better this morning. I think my despair has to do with feeling like I was misled a little bit in the interview process… or maybe I wanted to hear certain things and wasn’t listening closely enough to other things. my impression was that stuff like preparing briefings was going to be a very small fraction of my job, and that the bulk of my time would be spent on instructional work: planning and facilitating workshops, coaching staff one-on-one, and helping design & implement a comprehensive new professional development program. I love working with people and I love that big-picture strategic thinking curriculum design work, so I think I’d be reasonably happy in this role if it was the one described to me in my interviews. but the reality of this job is that I work alone 97% of the time—and most of that time is spent either on clerical tasks I could’ve handled in high school or on things I have no skillset for or interest in (like graphic design work). and while I get along much better with my team lead now and like her a lot as a person, I still feel really frustrated by the way she prioritizes tasks for our team and by the way she manages my workload even when I’m practically begging her to let me take on more (meaningful) work, like planning a writing workshop or developing a cohort-based leadership training series. I feel like she doesn’t want to take on extra projects as a team, which fine, but I’ve literally said to her multiple times that I don’t have enough to do and I don’t feel like the work I am doing is utilizing the skills I was ostensibly hired for. I don’t know how else to communicate that I’m desperate for purposeful work and would gladly take on those projects even if she wants to be minimally involved. and then as I’ve said before in my journaling about this job… I just hate the way that giving 10% of what I’m capable of makes me feel. I hate feeling like a person who’s content with just skating by, doing the bare minimum, not applying myself with any kind of focus or energy. it makes me feel Bad about myself and just lowkey demoralized all the time. blahhhh.

but okay. I’m not powerless here. I set up some new job alerts and am going to start updating my materials over the next couple weeks just in case anything comes up. there’s one job I’m looking at that would come with a pretty hefty pay cut, but I should be able to close that gap a bit if I start tutoring again and/or teach a couple classes a year. I’ve reached out about a couple of volunteer positions and will submit a few more applications this weekend. I might also apply for a tutoring job so I can start socking away some extra savings as a cushion if needed. I did a bunch of calculations last night to try to figure out what I need to cover rent, childcare expenses, etc. I think I can make do just fine on a lower salary—it’ll make things a little bit tighter with less margin for error (or unexpected disaster), but it should be possible.

anyway enough of that. it’s the weekend and I have three whole days off!!! my sister’s coming over tonight for a NYE sleepover… we’re going to watch glass onion and cook a delicious feast (aloo gobi, chickpea curry, homemade naan). today is supposed to be cool and cloudy with no rain. I would like to do the following things today:

HOME TASKS: empty & reload dishwasher, wipe down shelves and counters, clean out fridge, vacuum kitchen rug, take out recycling, give dogs their flea/tick meds

ERRANDS: get gas, drop off UPS packages, drop off USPS packages, do home goods return & look at pans, drop by target to grab groceries and a pan if home goods doesn’t have any good ones

EXERCISE: take dogs to a new neighborhood trail on my list and go for a short run after. or I’ve kind of been itching to rollerblade again… maybe I’ll try this paved trail near my house?

CREATIVE: read 30 pages of book, write at least 500 words

a/n: this was very self indulgent...

Another boring day behind the counter of your college’s local coffee shop. Classes were hard but financing said classes was harder and you ended up having to take a part time job to pay your apartment rent. You didn’t hate it, it was nice meeting new people everyday, and seeing regular friendly faces. But there was one face in particular that never failed to catch your attention.

“What can I get for..you.. the usual i’m guessing?” You say, a shy smile playing across your face.

“Good to see you again y/n, and yes the usual please.” He responds, reciprocating your smile.

He was gorgeous and part of you thinks he knows that too. The way he carried himself with such confidence. He must know the effect he has on you.

“Iced Americano for Kuroo!”

He comes back to the counter and picks up his drink. He notices your eyes on him and flashes his award winning smirk. He slips a napkin across the counter and winks. You glance down at the napkin and read the small message he’s left for you. A simple “call me” with a winky face and his number below it. You couldn’t lie, you were a bit nervous to take the offer, but deep down you really wanted it. As soon as your shift ended you messaged the number.

me: Hi! Is this kuroo-san?

kuroo: It is. Is this the lovely y/n?

me: haha yes it is

kuroo: I’m a bit busy right now y/n, but don’t worry i’ll make a reappearance at the coffee shop tomorrow ;)

me: can’t wait!

Your heart was racing. This small encounter was more than enough to send butterflies rushing through your stomach. Months of pining for the handsome stranger finally paying off. For the first time in a long time, you were really excited for your early morning shift.

The next day finally rolled around and you were happy as can be. Even your coworkers noticed your chipper mood.

“y/n you’re awfully happy today. Something good happen?” Your coworker Yamaguchi asked.

“Hm I guess you could say something happened.”

“Spill. now.”

You giggled as you explained to him all that took place the day before, and how you’re super excited to see him again today. He seems a bit older than you are but you don’t mind. You’re pretty mature for your age, at least you think so.

“Is that him over there?” Tadashi asks, eying a tall “spiky haired man” that just walked in.

“Yes! That’s him! I’m gonna head to the register.”

“Hi Kuroo-san! The usual?” You ask, your eyes falling on the shorter man standing beside him.

The man smiles at you and you can’t help but notice how handsome he is as well. Two handsome men right in front of you. What a lucky day.

“Yes usual for me and a Cappuccino for him. How have you been y/n. Sorry I couldn’t talk very much yesterday, work has been hectic.” He asks leaning over the counter just enough so that you can feel his hot breath on your nose.

You smile and answer back making small talk as you punch in their order.

“Babe, can I get a muffin as well?” The shorter man asks, catching you off guard.

“Yeah which one?”

You stare at Kuroo, a confused look painting your blushing face.

Babe?

“Oh y/n, this is my boyfriend Daichi by the way. Daichi this is y/n, the girl I was telling you about.”

“It’s nice to finally meet you y/n, Kuroo talks about you quite a bit.” Daichi responds, nudging Kuroo in the side.

“y/n...if you’re free tonight..we’d love to have you over for dinner.”

“Dinner?” You ask, contemplating his extremely confusing request. The man was already in a relationship and he was asking you out on a date with him and his boyfriend in front of his boyfriend?

“Um.. Kuroo-san should you really be asking me out..when your boyfriend is uh..right there?”

“He’s interested as well. Unless you aren’t into that kind of thing! If not, we totally understand and we can pretend like this conversation never happened.”

That kind of thing? I mean a poly relationship isn’t something that has ever crossed your mind, but you weren’t against it you suppose.

“Sure I’ll join you two for dinner.” You respond, the smile Kuroo fell for playing across your slightly blushing face.

“Great! I’ll text you our address. We’ll see you tonight y/n.” He responds, giving you yet another wink. Those winks are deadly. They both walk away from the counter and over to the table across from the register, giving them both a clear view of you working.

“TADASHI YOU’LL NEVER GUESS WHAT HAPPENED!”

———

You stand outside the door of Kuroo and Daichi’s shared penthouse apartment. The building was big, beautiful, and very expensive. Your hands shake as they clutch onto the strap of your crossbody bag. You decided to wear the black bodycon dress you had bought for a blind date you never ended up going on. You were glad it was finally being put to good use. You awkwardly stand as your shaking finger presses the doorbell.

Quickly the door is opened, and the sweet face of your regular customer appears.

“Y/n! Glad you made it safely. The drive was not too long was it?”

“Actually I walked, you guys live pretty close to my apartment.”

“Oh well...that’s convenient. Come in, Daichi just finished making dinner.”

You follow Kuroo into the penthouse, your eyes taking in the sight of his multi million dollar home. You had no clue what these two did for work, but you were eager to find out. You get to the dinner table, which has been decorated with different types of food. Your mouth watered at the sight.

“Did Daichi-san make all of this?” You ask Kuroo.

“He did. He’s quite good in the kitchen, unlike myself. I can barely make a piece of toast.”

“More like he almost burnt down the building trying to make a piece of toast.” Daichi says, coming into the dining room with another plate of food.

“This all looks so amazing Daichi-san!”

“Thank you y/n, I’m glad you’re here tonight. Tetsurou has been especially giddy today.”

“Has he?...well I guess..I have been as well. I mean it’s not everyday you get to have dinner with two handsome men.” You say, blushing again. You bite your bottom lip nervously and Kuroo swears he could take you right then and there.

“So what do you two do for work, if you don’t mind me asking.”

“Of course not, I work for Japan’s Volleyball Association. I’m in the Sports Promotion Division. Daichi here is a firefighter.” Kuroo explains.

Your eyes widen in wonder. They were both quite successful and obviously rich. You felt lucky they decided to ask a broke college girl out.

“So y/n, are you a full time student at Tokyo University?”

“Yes, but I also work the coffee shop job and I do a few odd jobs here and there. For the college and apartment expenses that is. My scholarship wasn’t enough to cover everything.”

You three continue the small talk, you talk about your school life and clubs you were into. You find out they met while playing volleyball in high school. Once they graduated, Kuroo mustered up the courage to ask Daichi out and of course, Daichi said yes.

Once dinner was over, you offered to help the boys out with the dishes and they insisted you relax on the couch while they finish. You obediently sit and scroll through your phone. Kuroo comes out first and sits beside you. He was close, closer to you than he’s ever been before. He turns his head towards you and meets your fear filled eyes. His eyes land on your lips as he subconsciously licks his own. A hand lands on the skin of your thigh and slowly inches it’s way up. You tense slightly at the action.

“Don’t be scared, I would never do anything you didn’t want me to y/n. But I can’t lie, I wanted to take you right there at that dinner table.”

He pushes your hair behind your shoulder and slots his face in between your neck and shoulder. He places small kisses across your shoulder leading up to your neck, finding the sweet spot that always makes you squirm.

“Kuroo-san wait- what about Daichi-san.”

“He’ll join us in a minute..y/n...may I?”

His hand slides across your lower back and grips your waist as his lips continue sucking on your neck.

“...yes Kuroo-san, please...I want you.”

Something inside Kuroo snapped upon hearing your words. His fingers find the zipper of your dress and slowly he unzips, taking in every small gasp that comes through your parted lips. You looked divine, the most delicious dessert he could have ever asked for. Soon you feel the couch dip on the other side and you whip your head around, Daichi’s sweet smile greeting you.

“Can we make you feel good y/n? We’ll be gentle.”

“Daichi-san..please...more.”

Daichi immediately latches onto your mouth, his tongue prodding at your lips begging for entry. Kuroo trails kisses down your back, following the trail the zipper makes.

“Let’s take this to the room.” Kuroo suggests, both you and Daichi nodding in agreement. You follow the pair down the corridor and into a dimly lit room, a king sized bed adorned with red silk sheets sitting right in the middle. The room was minimally decorated. They must not spend much time in here, that or they’re busy...doing something else.

Kuroo leads you to the edge of the bed. You stand in front of it as Kuroo slips off the rest of your dress. You’re wearing a black set of lace lingerie underneath, and both men are enamored by how stunning you look splayed out on their dark red sheets.

“I want her pussy first.” Kuroo growls.

You sit up quickly as both men crawl towards you as if you were prey and they were starved predators. You felt Daichi’s body against yours first. You scoot back into his chest and lean your head against him. Kuroo’s fingers lock onto the waistband of your little lace panties, which are already thoroughly soaked. He pulls them down and off of you. He bunches it up and stuffs it into your mouth. A finger swipes up your unclothed pussy and you moan into your panties, drool pooling in the bottom of your mouth soaking them even more. Daichi’s hands find purchase on your chest. He gently massages your breasts as you throw your head back onto his shoulder, moans spilling out of your stuffed mouth. Kuroo continues his attack, licking long stripes up your entrance. His lips latch onto your clit sucking and massaging it. His tongue dips into your entrance as the coil in your stomach tightens. The stimulation was overwhelming. Between Daichi fondling you and Kuroo’s work on your pussy, you release faster than you had ever before. Their soft lips and big hands were much better than your small, unskilled fingers. Kuroo diligently laps up your release and sits up. He leans toward Daichi and gives him a sloppy open mouth kiss. You watch in awe as the two make out, Kuroo pulling away first.

“Can you taste her on my tongue?” Kuroo asks, smirking at both of you.

“She’s delicious.” Daichi responds, kissing your neck. He takes a bit of your skin in between his teeth and bites and sucks until he’s sure he’s made a lasting mark. You moan, leaning your head against him, his hands still groping your sensitive tits.

Kuroo leans forward and takes the panty stuffed into your mouth with his teeth, spitting it out on the bed next to you. He slides a condom over himself and lines up his cock, pushing it slowly into your slick entrance. His cock was not very thick but it was long, and it didn’t take very long for him to bottom out completely. Kuroo presses your stomach, feeling the outline of his cock.

“Can you feel that y/n? Can you feel how well I fill you up?”

“S’good Kuroo-san- hngg too much-“

“You can take it baby. I know you can. You wanna be a good girl for us right?”

His thrusts were slow but forceful, each one perfectly hitting your g-spot. The way you clamped down on Kuroo’s cock sent him into a euphoric whirlwind. He gave a few more thrusts and spilled his seed into the condom as your second release gushed around him. Daichi was drooling at the pornographic scene unfolding between his legs. Kuroo pulls his softened cock out, and you whine at the loss of contact. You lean back onto Daichi’s shoulder once again as he leans down to capture your lips in a sloppy kiss.

“Daichi-san..wanna suck you off-please...”

Daichi chuckles at your eagerness and obliges. With the help of Kuroo, you turn around and lean down into his lap, his hardened cock standing tall and leaking beautifully. Kuroo’s arm wraps around your waist keeping you steady, as his lips leave a hot wet trail down your spine. You give the tip of Daichi’s cock a few kitten licks, eliciting a deep groan from the back of his throat. You take the tip into your mouth, your tongue swirling around it while Daichi’s hands grab a fist full of your hair.

“Just like that y/n-mmm...such a good girl.”

Daichi ruts up into your mouth, the tip grazing the back of your throat causing you to gag. Your nails dig into the flesh of his massive thighs, the pain only adding to his pleasure.

His cock feels hot and heavy in your mouth and each bob of your head makes his balls tighten. The feeling of your hot mouth around him sending him over the edge, he can’t take it.

“hnggg- y/n m’coming.”

Soon your throat was painted with thick ropes of hot cum. You swallowed as much as you could, licking your lips as some dribbles down your chin.

Your body went limp landing flat on Daichi’s chest. His hand rakes through your hair as you start to fall asleep.

“We gotta clean you up y/n, don’t fall asleep yet.” Daichi says.

“Let her sleep, we’ll wipe her down for now and wash her in the morning.”

A warm damp cloth meets your sore body as Kuroo wipes you down. Daichi diligently wipes away at your face and mouth giving soft kisses on your hair. Once clean, you were laid down in between the soft silk sheets you were previously clutching. Both men get in on either side of you, massaging the sore muscle of your hips and thighs. Looks like you’ll be skipping class tomorrow.

He dances with Buck and Nat sometimes as well. Tony obviously takes peter under his wing and helps him with assignments.

"VERY WELL DONE YOUNG PARKER YOU SHOULD BE DOING THAT WITH BEER IN NO TIME." "Thor plz" Tony and Thor help him ask MJ out and even spy on them during a dinner date. (Imagine thor with sunglasses and a scarf around his head pretending to be tonys date) He feels so accepted in college because of the gang and gets all his work done on time. Goes out of his way to get everyone christmas presents and is so excited for friendsgiving. Becomes a little stressball during finals and midterms and stays in the library till it closes. He spots loki alot in there and helps loki with science classes while loki helps him with political science classes. He meets MJ through wanda and is obviously blushing the whole time while being introduced. Gets embarrassed when the guys flirt with aunt may. "guys plz stop" This is when Sam earns his "milf hunter" nickname. "Pete hows your aunt?" "She doesnt want you sam i-" its not like that... actually it is like that"

Coulson: Alumni Icon. Is the gangs Intro professor and is the reason why everyone meets eachother. (the class was chaotic indeed) Coulson loved that class so much and he still gets visited by everyone from time to time. He is obviously close with Nick. They were there that night when Tony was signing Queen at the bar and couldnt help but laugh.

Nick Fury: Dean for criminal justice and is heavily involved with criminal justice club and mock trial. He is tired of everyones shit as always. Makes a tiktok account for the criminal justice club and has no idea how to manage social media so gets Loki to help. Has to delete it when Loki commented "hah losers" on the engineering tiktoks page. He looks intimidating but in his office he has a picture with the club and has all the gifts he gets on display. (He even framed lokis comment because it was hilarious afterall)

For Clarification; Kyotani x reader

My first serious fic and its angst and an underrated character? Damn. Seriously this is angst, it hurt me to write this

Kyotani can’t figure out how he got in this situation. In a fight, with his closest friend and crush. But what he can figure out is that you’re about to punch him if he doesn’t move.

You two had been friends for two years now, him meeting you at a pre-orientation for Sejioh and you, his senior as a guide to show him around the building. Somehow you’d just kinda stuck around, and by some miracle you didn’t mind, even when he got pissy.

“Cmon man, Youve gotta calm down, Oikawas shitty and we all know it. You can’t just quit the team over it.”

“Technically I can-“

“technically I’ll beat your ass if you try it”

“Well what am I supposed to do”

“Shut up and deal with it till you’re the ace”

He remembers the first time he realized how he felt, just a few months ago.

You have your arm pinned to his wrist while your leg encircled his lower thigh, pinning him below you with his back pressing against your chest. And as he feels you shift your body, the way your warm skin brushes his. He’s aware of every touch, the slightly gentle feeling as you hold his wrist, loose enough that he could escape if he really wanted to. The plush skin of your thigh enclosing his own. It’s like heaven

“Well Kyo? How are you gonna get out of this one” you growl, your lips brushing past his already flushed ear. He’s frozen, his face reddening by the second.

“I have to piss” He’s even more embarrassed by THAT as you quickly let him go. Him rushing to the restroom and slumping against the door. He can’t, he can’t have a crush on you, you’re leaving him soon. Hot tears rise and he punches himself to make them stop. He won’t let those feelings remain.

He remembers the first time he really cried over you.

“Once I graduate highschool , I’m leaving this place, moving to Tokyo or something and getting a real life. I’m tired of this town.”

He was shocked at what you said, by the way you acted with your other friends and parents, you had no intention of even moving out.

“You sure?”

“I’ve already got plans to move in with my friend that lives there, he’s already started setting up for a dorm that we’re gonna share since rent is expensive”

He cried because he had held out hope, the hope that he could see you, the hope that he even had a chance. You were leaving him, moving in with a guy who he didn’t even know.

He cried hard that night, he barely slept

He avoided you after that, when you texted him he ignored it, if you called him he’d let it ring. But he always listened to the voicemails you left, no matter how upset he was he couldn’t leave you completely.

He avoided you on school days, it wasn’t that hard, it was getting close to the end of year exams. He sometimes saw you hanging out with your friends, one or two times even Iwaizumi and Oikawa. He hated the times you were with Oikawa the most, was he going to steal you away too? Would he watch as that shitty guy stole your heart and broke it? Or worse, you took his too?

And that’s how he ended up here, with you yelling at him. “WHAT THE FUCK MAN? WHYD YOU DO THAT”

The THAT in question was getting in a fight with Oikawa, yelling at him after he laughed at a particularly bad spike. He would’ve done well, if you hadn’t been right next to the bastard when he said it.

Which led to this, you throwing a punch as he tried to dodge. And when he did you grabbed him by the wrist with the arm you’d moved to hit him with. You’re screaming something and he’s yelling back. He can’t even tell what anymore. And now there’s burning hot tears streaming down his face as you hold him. The feeling of you touching him again, after weeks of trying to avoid the way you made him feel.

And now you’re falling, pinning him to the ground as you yell. And it’s finally clear what you’re saying. “-AVOIDING ME FOR WEEKS? AND THE FIRST TIME I SEE YOUR SORRY ASS AGAIN YOURE GETTING ALL MAD AT OIKAWA?! I THOUGHT YOU WERE BETTER THAN THAT. AND NOT JUST OIKAWA, YOUVE BEEN A DICK FOR WEEKS. WHAT DID I DO? IS IT MY FAULT? OR ARE TOU JUST THAT SHITTY”

He realizes as your hot tears hit his face, you’re crying. He did this to you. He hurt you so badly that you’re crying.

“ITS YOUR FAULT, ITS YOUR FAULT FOR MAKING ME CARE SO MUCH.”

“WHAT THE FUCK- THAT MAKES NO SEN-“

With the strength of an ace, he pulls himself from your grip and grabs your back, pulling you against his chest as you yell.

“I’m sorry.. I’m so damn sorry, I couldn’t stand to watch as you left me...”

And you stop. You stop yelling, and he can feel your tears running into his shirt.

“I never wanted to leave you. I wanted you to wait for me. That’s why I kept calling, that’s why I kept looking for you. I hung out with Oikawa to make you jealous, I wanted you to TALK TO ME”

He’s silent as he pulls you closer to him, and he does something so stupid impulsive he can’t even tell if that’s himself doing it. He kisses you. It’s gross and snotty and both of your faces are teary, but you flush red and he feels a small smile grow on your lips. Before you pull away.

“Wait for me, Wait till you graduate. And then come to Tokyo. I’ll be there.”

“Please...for now...hold me...” he mutters, burying his face into your shoulder, tears smearing against your neck and shirt.

“You better not be smearing all that eyeliner you wear on me”

He laughs

————

Oikawa and Iwaizumi watch from the gym.

“Guess theyre a thing now” Oikawa laughs, Iwaizumi shoves him.

“Idiot, they’ve been ‘a thing’ for months, he just didn’t have the guts to actually say anything”

“Maybe I should make him do some reps as punishment for interrupting me”

“Cmon, I know you’re a sucker for cheesy romantic stuff like this, let ‘em be for a while. The kid needs this”

[percival-c-mcleach]

For the "how hot is that character"-thing: McLeach?

Not My Type | Alright | Cute | Adorable | Pretty | Gorgeous | LORD MERCY

ESPECIALLY when he's smiling/looks nice, just??

Look at these and tell me that he doesn't look like a sweet man.

In general, my bar for attractiveness in guys can get unconventional, but a big factor is how nice/sweet they look when they smile, I just melt like butter on the sidewalk in June. Bonus points working in McLeach's favor: -The gentle demeanor when he first meets Cody. I'd like to think he actually is genuinely nice sometimes, because I mean, we see he has no problem with feeding Cody to the crocs, why would he bother being nice to the kid (before discovering the feather) ? Especially since Cody was calling him out on him being a poacher. To keep within Disney's (frankly shaky) family-friendly stuff, the most he could have done was be nasty to Cody pre-feather, and that was actually in the original script where he DID threaten Cody when he pulled him out. Dude's just an asshole and lets his desires get in the way of basic human decency.

-He knows how to dress. He dresses like a stockman (basically an Aussie cowboy) and his ensemble didn't have to go as hard as it did, ESPECIALLY with that coat of his. I swear his attractiveness factor pops up by ten with that badass coat.

I mean, look-

Also, intimidation factor goes up by 20.

Between these McLeaches, which one gives off a more threatening vibe?

-His stomach. If here's one thing I don't find as attractive on a lot of guys, its abs, especially when the abs are so defined you can play the xylophone on them (plus to get them to look like that it requires dehydration and its just, I don't like that sort of handsomeness standard can be so dangerous) but tummies? Pot bellies? Squish? ABSOLUTELY. Soft and great to cuddle on.

-His voice. Something about his voice is so familiar and comforting to me, I can't really put my finger on it other than maybe George C. Scott was in a few movies that my grandparents owned when I was growing up. In general its a really nice voice, and how he can switch tone on a dime? Yes please.

-His expressiveness.

Not just in his face-honestly I LOVE watching his facial animations-but his body language in general.

Although I admit, I do feel that he probably has a lot of neck and back pain due to posture, its still great. Also, the man is as spry as a frog- have you SEEN him jump and twirl in the movie? -His agility + confidence. Dude is literally out here DANCING in what seems to be Knee-Destroying-Moves.

And its just, even though he's clearly not the best dancer, look at him! He's having fun! He sings and doesn't care that he doesn't sound amazing. He's got CONFIDENCE. You know he dances around the kitchen at home when he feels up to it, maybe even dances with Joanna sometimes (because who doesn't dance with their pets?) -When he's interacting with Joanna.

I'm a huge animal lover, and when McLeach IS nice to Joanna, its just so adorable??????? He clearly spoils her (her own little tub and animal cracker box, when I looked up how much a box that size usually costs, it can go up to FIFTY BUCKS, that's pretty expensive) and the scritches he gives her and her purring???? AGHHH <3 Also, the fact he lets her ride shotgun is adorable af. AND, when they're driving home in the movie "And dead ahead, is home sweet home-" JUST the way he looks at Joanna so affectionately <3 Then we have the hilarious egg-heist scene, whoever scripted that clearly has pets of their own because that's how it goes down when you're trying to fix yourself a snack. That being said, it does break my heart when he does mistreat her. Even though he mostly does it when she fucks up (the exception being when he pinned his trap on her digging holes) you still shouldn't punish an animal so harshly. Animal cruelty and the okay-with-killing-kids are the only demerits I have against McLeach. The poaching I can understand to a degree since he says "I didn't make it all the way through the third grade for nothing!" and its VERY hard to find a job when you don't have a high school diploma, and what jobs you DO find are BARELY enough to pay rent, food, other bills- I've known a few adults, including my mom, who never graduated who were stuck working body-destroying jobs who paid them so little for 'unskilled labor.' So I mean, I can get why he turned to poaching. I hate it, but sometimes people make bad decisions for reasons.

Got off track, so another thing:

-Peach.

I hit the image limit, but there's that shot when he leaps in the air and spins that you can see he definitely has a peach. He's got more ass than most Disney villains (for example, Clayton's got that pancake ass)

-Big, strong hands. Honestly, that's one of my weaknesses-and he IS strong. Picks up a ten-year-old with one hand and lifts him up with ease, you know how heavy kids can get? Certainly not one-handed.

I could ramble on about why I like this guy so much so Imma stop that here ovo
