"Girl if you don't stop looking at that boy", Remi said hitting my leg and making us all laugh.

"KC you still staring at that white boy?", Liyah asked after taking a sip from her water.

"First off he ain't no regular white boy", I said rolling my eyes.

"He's a white boy with an accent", Kass said sarcastically.

"I don't care what y'all say. That boy is fine", I said while opening my juice box.

"I always knew you liked white boys", Remi said while eating her tangerines.

"It's something about them", I said making Liyah laugh.

"Something like what?", she asked.

"I don't know but they make my lil cooter jump", I said almost making Remi scream.

People started looking at us.

"Y'all need to stop being loud", I whispered.

"You one to talk about somebody being loud. Don't act like you wasn't just screaming west side in the hallway as if you Tupac or somebody", Liyah said.

.✿.

"Alright everyone. Today is the day that we've all anticipated for in this class-", Ms. Walker started.

"Graduation today?", someone asked.

"Mane I wish BK", someone else chuckled.

"Well it's not graduation night", Ms. Walker chuckled. "Today we start the baby project. I have already picked partners for everyone. So when I call your name please come to the front."

After forever she finally called my name.

"Kordei Corso and... Oakley Caesar-Su", she said.

I walked up to her desk, along with Oakley.

"Baby name ?", she asked.

I looked at Oakley and he shrugged his shoulders.

"Tiana?", I asked.

"That's fine."

"First T name today", she said as she wrote it down beside our names on a piece of paper. "Take care of her."

She handed me the baby and gave Oakley the baby bag.

"Oh shit", I said when it started moving in my arms.

Ms.Walker arched a brow at me.

"My bad Ms.Walker", I chuckled.

"Okay now that everyone one has a baby", Ms.Walker started as me and Oakley walked to our seats. "You're all free to be single, divorced, or married parents. As long as the baby is cared for and healthy when it's time to turn them in then hey. See you all tomorrow!"

The dismissal bell rung and everyone jumped up, rushing out the class.

.✿.

(It's the next day and they're in the library by the way)

"Who did your hair KC?", Liyah said as she ran her fingers through my hair.

"I did and girl you know better than anyone not to just run your fingers through my hair", I said playfully rolling my eyes.

"Wait Kordei?!", Kass gasped pulling on my jacket collar. "What the hell is this on your neck?"

She pushed my hair behind my shoulder. I just suppressed a smile as I rocked Tiana side to side.

"Girl who been sucking on your neck?", Remi asked.

"Y'all gone make me drop my baby", I chuckled.

"Fuck that baby", Remi said reaching over the table and trying to slap her out of my arms. "Stop beating round the bush bitch."

"Tell us his name and give us the details", Liyah said.

"Well..", I sighed before Oakley approached our table.

"Hey KC, you think I can get Tiana? I'm going to Mr. B's class, and he said he'd give us extra credit if we were taking care of the babies", he said, unaware that Remi, Liyah, and Kass were staring him down.

"Sure", I said with a smile and stood up.

I gently handed her to him.

"Please don't drop her. She will literally scream and won't stop unless Ms. Walker deactivates it", I said reaching down and grabbing the pink baby bag off the floor.

"I won't", he chuckled while I put the bag over his shoulder.

"See you in sixth period", he said but more so asked.

"Yeah, take care of her", I said and squinted my eyes at him.

"Don't worry I will", he chuckled before walking off.

I sat back down and all three of them were staring at me.

"What?", I laughed.

"Was that white boy sucking on yo neck?", Remi asked before crossing her arms.

"Since y'all wanna know so bad", I said and playfully rolled my eyes. "Yes, Oakley was the one who gave me the hickeys."

"Oh my lawd", Kass said falling out of her seat.

"Jesus help us", Liyah said throwing her arms in the air.

"I would rather- I would rather go blind boy", Remi sang while shaking her head.

I laughed at them and rolled my eyes. "Y'all do the most."

"Did you enjoy it?", Kass asked sitting up.

"Yes ma'am I did", I said and nodded my head.

"Oh my lawd", she said again, throwing her arms up and laying back on the floor.

"I hate y'all", I chuckled after they calmed down and Kass got back in her seat.

"So how it all happen?", Remi asked.

"I was just over at his house so we could take care of the baby together...."

"Oakley I need a bottle!", I said as I rocked her side to side as she cried.

"I'm trying, I'm trying", he said and accidentally dropped the top on the floor. "Shit."

"You can't just pull a titty out and let her suck it", he joked as he picked the top up and rinsed it off.

"One, she's not an actual baby and two, ain't no milk in these titties."

He chuckled as he finally walked over to me with the fixed bottle.

"Thanks."

I put the teat in her mouth and she immediately started drinking it.

"God knows I wouldn't be able to handle a real baby", I sighed.

Oakley chuckled as he went to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water.

"You spending the night?", he asked drinking his water and leaning against the counter.

I looked up at him and saw he had a smirk on his face.

"Your brothers home? I haven't seen them in a while?", I asked changing the topic.

He chuckled before answering. "Nah, my mom took them to visit our Nana for the week."

"Got the house to yourself for a week? No wonder you asked me over."

"I asked you over so we could take care of Tiana together."

"Mmm", I hummed.

She finished her bottle and I set it on the counter before I started to burp her.

I absentmindedly started humming 'hush little baby' while walking around the kitchen.

"Good girl", I said after she made a burping noise.

"How's your music going?", I asked after handing Tiana over to him.

"It's going great actually", he hummed. "I think it's time for her nap."

We walked upstairs to his room. He laid Tiana down in the middle of his bed.

He sat down in the chair by his desk before I sat on his lap.

He put his hand on my waist, caressing it lightly and locked eyes with me.

"You never answered my question", he started before I put my head in the crook of his neck.

"Fuck", he groaned as I lightly bit his neck.

I brought my head back up and pulled him into a deep kiss.

He slipped his tongue in my mouth making me moan.

"Why you been acting different around me?", he mumbled against my lips after pulling back.

"You be acting like I'm not there", I said making him smack his teeth. "I'd be wrong if I ghosted you though."

"Don't do that....Spend the night KC", he said before pecking my lips.

He kissed along my jaw and down to my neck.

"Mmm", I hummed as he sucked on my sweet spot, making me bite my lip.

I wrapped my arm around him and leaned into him.

"Girl you really let him do that?", Remi asked cutting me off.

"Y'all should see his neck. You'd think I was beating on him. That's why he had his hoodie over his head."

"Bitch", Kass said. "I can't believe you."

"KC did y'all? You know", Liyah said and motioned with her fingers.

"Oh nah", I said making them let out a breath of relief. "We ain't tryna make a real baby."

"Wait I just realized something.. you done been to his house before and ain't tell us?", Liyah said and hit my arm.

"It slipped my mind", I said making them smack their teeth.

"You stare at this boy everyday at lunch but it slip yo mind that you been done spent the night at his house", Remi said. "Woooow."

.✿.

"So today we're not going to be doing anything school work-wise. I'm just going to let you all focus on taking care of your little bundles of joy", Ms. Walker said after everyone sat down.

"You a real one Ms. Walker. Cause I don't think I could handle any more school work today", someone said making all of us agree.

I got up and moved to the back of the class, Oakley joining me soon after.

"This is getting too real. She pooped her diaper three times in Mr. B's class", Oakley chuckled as he sat next to me.

"She threw up on me this morning."

My phone started vibrating in my pocket.

Remi🩷

Y'all bet not be back there kissing 😐

Liyah🩷

I'll come in there and drag that white boy out of that room by his ear 👂🏻🤏🏾

Kassidy🩷

I got my eye on him 🥷🏿

Bet not be no more hickeys on yo neck

Kordei 🩷

Where the hell y'all at?

Kassidy🩷

Look at the door 🙂

I looked up and saw them looking dead at us.

Remi did a head-cutting motion then pointed at Oakley.

"Those your friends?", Oakley asked.

"Unfortunately", I sighed.

"Should I be worried?"

"No....Anyways", I said redirecting my attention to Oakley, ignoring them still standing at the door.

"You coming back to my house tonight?", he asked.

I squinted my eyes at him.

"You know so we both can take care of the baby. We want her to grow up with both of her parents", he said making me chuckle.

"If you just want me to spend the night again just say that."

"Spend the night", he said.

"You asking or telling me?"

"Kordei just spend the night again", he sighed.

"Ok", I chuckled. "Imma swing by my house and grab some clothes before coming over."

.✿.

"Seven years?! Time flies", I chuckled as I walked over to Oakley. "But one thing about it..."

I wrapped my arms around his neck and he put his hands on my waist.

"You get finer everyday", I said before pecking his lips.

"You still kissing up on that white boy I see", Remi said as she walked in with Liyah and Kass.

"We be doing more than kissing now", I said, receiving a chuckle from Oakley.

"Just nasty", Kass said shaking her head.

"You know it", I said and winked at her.

[gabessquishytum]

Hob is paying his way through college as a sex worker. He is safe and takes care of himself and has some regular customers, but is careful to keep it separate from his college life. Then one day he’s requested by someone he knows from campus. Hob is scared at first—he doesn’t want to get kicked out of school. This person has the power to ruin his life. So he shows up, prepared for anything, from blackmail to shaming to having to fight his way out.

He gets to the motel and…Dream, a student at the same college, is waiting for him.

Dream actually has not seen Hob around. He doesn’t pay much attention to people. He’s only here because he is a virgin. He’s technically dating someone but is sure he won’t be able to please them, so this was his great idea: hiring the most attractive escort he could find. He asks hob to let him practice so he doesn’t disappoint his soon-to-be lover.

Hob relaxes when he realizes this isn’t a trap. So he is happy to flop down and let dream sweetly explore his body. He talks dream through how to open someone up and make it good for them—how to kiss hob and massage his thighs and finger him gently. He teaches him how to reach his prostate and read his body. It’s actually super sweet how attentive Dream is to hob’s pleasure. And rare, honestly. Hob rarely gets to think about his own pleasure with clients.

Hob lets dream fuck him for the first time and takes great pleasure in seeing the awe break over his face. They actually spend the night together, and hob teaches dream all his best cocksucking tips, and they really work on Dream’s stamina (and ability to fuck hob in the shower, on the bed and against the wall.)

In the morning, hob sits dream down and tells him that if his partner is the right person it won’t matter how experienced dream is. And that he has no reason to be ashamed of himself.

Then he leaves.

Dream is … beginning to realize this was a mistake. And he feels more comfortable with kind, lovely hob than he ever did with his partner. Dream ends up deciding to end the relationship because of his feelings for hob. But Dream tells himself it would be wrong to pursue him. Surely he was just a job to hob. So he loses hob’s number.

…only to literally run into hob in the campus library a week later.

Aww this is very sweet!! I'm imagining Dream getting out a lil notebook and very studiously making notes on what Hob is teaching him... until he gets too distracted by their practical lesson, heh.

He keeps the notebook even though he has no one to use his new skills on. He doesn't want anyone except Hob, and he's so bummed about the whole situation. He really wishes he didn't delete Hob’s number now.

And then, like fate itself is watching, they walk into each other in the library. Dream spills his to-go latte all over his notebook and Hob’s face turns scarlet, desperately trying to keep quiet while Dream stares at him and tries to mop up the coffee. Hob helps him clean up and tries to explain everything in hushed whispers but they're still too loud, and end up being booted out of the library.

Outside, Hob pleads with Dream not to expose him or tell anyone, and of course Dream agrees, he'd never do such a thing. He's just glad Hob is ok. And Hob relaxes, asking if his first time with his boyfriend was a success?

And Dream admits that he actually broke up with his partner. So he'll have to use Hob’s techniques another time. Although his notes are ruined now, so he might not be able to.

Hob rolls his eyes fondly. And takes Dream back to his flat, this time. The hotel room is for clients. Future boyfriends get the privilege of coming home with him.

(Dream firmly cements his status as boyfriend by rocking Hob’s world even without notes, making him cum until he's dry and aching. His focus is entirely on Hob’s pleasure, and that is... revelatory. Ultimately Hob decides to switch into a part time job bartending, but he'll never regret his time in sex work. It helped him find a love he never could have imagined.)

the dooley davenports x black!reader | general hcs

contains: adam, bree, chase, leo

a/n: this will get zero notes but idc i am pioneering ts for lab rats. gif credit goes to him (me. bc i am him.) 💯

adam

i have always been very loud about my belief that adam marries a black woman or man in the future

and i mean LOUD

he 100% does

the first time he meets u he's like woah

prettay

he likes watching how your hair bounces as you descend the stairs or even just walking on flat ground

he likes how u speak to him

you call everyone lil nicknames so whenever u say "baby" he's like 😃

u help him with school stuff

bc you smart 💯

okayyyy scholar 😍😍😍

sorry

anyway

he loves seeing u

you anchor him

keep him from doing ridiculous shit that can get him hurt yk

turn into ur mom fr

he fidgets with his fingers a lot so he be playing in your hair

gently pulling strands so they spring back and wrapping em around his finger (ESPECIALLY when they're freshly moisturized and wet)

y'all are just saur cute to see

he's a big hugger so he rests his cheek against ur head and ur lil curls tickle him

and bonus points if you're significantly shorter than him

it's an adorable image when u hold hands

bc ur this lil person that is clearly able to easily escape restraint and u got ur tall white boy that's a lil dumb but happy to be here with u nonetheless

i love adam lawd

bree

bisexual queen

anyway

u guys become friends very quick

she complimented ur jewelry (a lil gold necklace) and u were like "aw thanks gang"

and from that u sparked a conversation and became very good friends very fast

she introduced u to her brothers, allat

u guys meet in the library every morning or u go to the nearby coffee shop before school starts

get some polite lil drinks and just.. talk :)

if you guys were to pack ur own lunches every day, y'all would do snack trades a lot

you defend her a lot against her brothers 💀

the first time you said "boy shut up" to chase she got hearts in her eyes fr /hj

when she realizes she might have a lil crush, she doesn't act too strange but she is a little bit different

she hugs for a little longer than normal, just to enjoy the scent of ur moisturizer and ur hair products

when y'all have sleepovers she always cuddles close

she loves to cook with u

u show her recipes you got from ya mama and she enjoys them every time

she stares at ur lips when u eat

and talk

and

do anything at all

they are very kissable what can she say

chase

lord.

he's infatuated

INFATUATED

he only knew leo so he had no idea black ppl could be so fine /j

the first time he sees you, a little notification in his eyebawl goes off like "heartrate rising. entering cooldown." and it's SO LOUD to him

turns out you and leo are already friends

which is NOT helpful

because now whenever you're at the house he's frantic as hell

either trying to interact with you (extremely awkwardly) or hiding in the lab so he doesn't embarrass himself further

bree would come down like "just go talk to them loser" and he's like "I CAN'T 😭😭😭😭😭😭"

when she finally forces him to quit being a punk and at least say hi, he comes upstairs to see u looking out at the view

the sun shining through their big ass windows glows gold on your skin and to him you look like a god

he flees /hj

HE DOESNT KNOW HOW TO ACT

he eventually pulls himself together and soon feels like a fool

because talking to you is SO EASY ?

you exude a charm he has never seen heard or experienced from anyone else before

the way u speak to him makes him melt

that being said never call him a pet name

ever

a simple "sugar" or even just "baby" will make him overheat and shut down

leo

i'm already laffing

y'all are funny as SHIT

you were classmates before the davenports came in but you weren't really friends until after they did

you helped leo show them around the school and the two of you cracked plenty of jokes along the tour

many that the bionic trio did not understand LMFAOO

you two are so fun together and everyone can see it, even the trio who be fighting for they lives whenever y'all are speaking to each other /j

leo probably tells u ab the whole bionic secret after you witness one too many close calls and the way you handle it makes his baby crush grow exponentially

like YOURE SO COOL???? DIDNT EVEN BLINK AT THIS ABSURD ASS PIECE OF INFORMATION???? GOD THEYRE COOL AS FUCK

you guys share hair information and you bring home hotel shampoo's for y'all to share LMFAO

he let you give him waves once

it was comedic

tasha loves you

she didn't know you for a while because leo never brought you up when y'all were just classmates but after y'all became actual friends, you'd get mentioned here and there

the first time he has you come over is to work on a school project

she meets you and is like omg hai i'm leo's mom

and he's kinda like 😐 pushing her away like he did in the avalanche episode with janelle LMFAO

you like "why you so mean to yo mama" and it makes him sweat /j

you like tasha too and you guys often have tea together when leo is late for y'all's lil hangouts

she gasses you up to leo all the time like he didn't know you first

"your friend, [name]? they're cute!!!" "i know mom" "go ahead and ask that out" "MOM"

he eventually does (it was actually you but he tells tasha it was him)

[hydrxnessa]

>> second batch of (reimagined) senVerse doors entities !!

no way they're coloured ?? hydra coloured them ?? fr ?????

lil facts about them below vv

those patches of torn skin on figure are mostly from itself. its claws reach deep into its flesh, hence why the scars hardly disappear

the top of its skull can split into two, which can seem incredibly scary if on the receiving end. but it's immensely painful for figure

powerful bite! especially powerful if it splits its top jaw before biting down

its mouth can glow! and its tail is prehensile, useful for shelving books in its library

this mf stomps. and he stomps LOUD.

chitters when its reading. probably a way for it to read the words despite its visual impairment. echolocation bb

dupe hardly ever leaves its doors. but not because its shy. its just fuckign lazy

dupe is the prankster now. with its confusing door numbers, it'll spook anything and anyone. even Guiding.

dupe is pretty tall, but it has a hunch back - so it appears smaller than it actually is. still stands at like 8' or smth

those claws definitely left a bunch of huge scratches along the walls. the other suspect was figure.

don't fucking pet him

halt still has that flight/freeze touch! but it's only if its claws make contact with a being/entity. anywhere else is fine.

outside of its domain, it can't do much. but in its hallway, it controls everything, twisting and deceiving your perceptions. its domain is its playground, and you are the toy :)

[rev-wrath]

Reed. Beloved mutual. Lovely friend. I am in your asks to go on a rant about the a/b/o Battinson fic I have in mind.

Originally, I was thinking omega!Bruce, cause y'know me and my need to omegify the heroes. But then. Inspiration struck me. (Also I was rereading my library of a/b/o au fics). I've written about an omega character pretending to be an alpha but!!! What about!!! Alpha character pretending to be omega??

I'm under the assumption that the Gotham elites (or any high society let's be real) are really conservative, and think of omegas to be 'weak' and 'fragile' making them all underestimate omegas. And like Battinson rarely goes and interacts with them all + the 'shy' demeanour makes the elites assume that lil Brucie Wayne is an omega cause no alpha would act like that, right?

Anyway, Bruce doesn't present until after his parents death and his scent is very ambiguous- not too much like an omega's but also not too much like an alpha's so everyone assumes he's an omega wearing really strong scent blockers (cause he's rich + the sole inheritor of the Wayne fortune. Gotta keep those pesky suitors at bay.). In reality he wears cologne that makes him smell more like an omega.

Batman tho? He's an alpha. For sure. Like he doesn't smell like anything certain, but the dominance of the scent is there. And that incongruence between Bruce and Batman ensures that the two aren't connected.

Where does R comes into all this??? Idk. It's just all vibes at this point. I'm still juggling between what secondary gender R would have. I think any of the three would work, but idk at the moment.

My first thought was also omega!Bruce, but this is so much more interesting. I imagine like Steve or Matt in your other fics he's also a little stunted given the everything about him. His cologne just making him smelling more omega is so funny to me honestly.

Gotham elites would be so conservative. Which brings us to R. I can see them as any of the three. An omega who won't bend to the rules of Gotham's high society, who will bare their teeth and be loud without a care. An alpha who would help with Bruce's omega cover, who can play along with him fake dating turns real or childhood friends. A beta who's a strong and steady presence for Bruce, once again refusing to bend to high society's rules and will be seen and part of things, they're a person, damn it. I imagine the beta or alpha being more likely to know about Batman from the get-go. My brain just started turning gears and I couldn't stop it. Oh well.

[just-some-random-blogger]

I HAD ANOTHER IDEA

Morpheus and badass warrior/Valkyrie reader like they're almost his height and more muscle-y and a super good fighter and Morpheus kinda likes when they manhandle him and get a lil rough but he's supernaturally strong too so he can fight back a bit and they get all riled up 🥵🥵

Headlock Of Love

Dream of the Endless x Valkyrie!Reader

Summary: Matthew was making a log of every interaction between you and his master. In an exciting turn of events, the whole of The Dreaming, upon learning of this log, began placing their bets on their favored fighter. The conflict of the bet? Which of you will realize you both like each other first.

Word Count: 1k+

Warnings: Dense!Dream & Reader, tall buff and hot!reader, crackfic, fluff, typos.

A/N: GIRL YOU ARE SUCH A BAD INFLUENCE WITH YOUR REQUESTS YOU KNOW I HAVE HOMEWORK GRRRR. It's not funny i've got school. /: but i guess i should thank you for this cause the other dream req i finished was depressing T_T if you read it T_T tell me what you think. ALSO BESTIE YOU DIDNT EVEN GIVE ME A CHANCE TO FINISH THIS BEFORE REQUESTING AGAIN [foams in the mouth] AND I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR IT BECAUSE THAT REQ WAS SO CUTE AND I have TO WRITE IT 🚓🚓🚓🚓🚓 THE POLICE ARE COMING FOR YOU respectfully disrespectfully looking sir (the gif is so large to T_T) Tagging: @deniixlovezelda @shadow-pancake9 [@pinksirensong btw do you seriously want me to tag you in everything????]

"No," Matthew squawks at Lucienne, "no, you're lying."

Lucienne shakes her head as Matthew cocks his head the way birds do at the sound of laughter echoing in the library. The raven hops on the table as he watches his master and the Valkyrie recount whatever it was they were recounting.

"My lord," Lucienne interrupts them, causing them to turn to each to her in sync, "I have found the book you are looking for."

"Ah yes," Dream nods, extending his hand out to the librarian, "thank you, Lucienne."

"Thank you, Lucienne," I echo, turning back to Dream, "you did not have to go through the trouble," I turn back to her, "both of you."

Lucienne smiles and simply nods.

"I am sure Lucienne would agree sharing knowledge is never a trouble," Dream smiles.

"He's freaking smiling," Matthew mutters under his breath, making Lucienne shoot him a dirty look.

"Especially not for my favorite Valkyrie."

"Favorite Valkyrie, Loosh!" Matthew whisper-yells.

Lucienne rolls her eyes, "They have been like this for centuries-- millennium."

"Do not say that to my sisters, my lord," I chuckle at Dream's sentiment.

"Well, I do not have to mind myself. I do not find the need to converse with any other Valkyrie anyway."

"He does not find the need to converse with any-" Matthew is cut off by Lucienne's dark expression.

Log 1: A Battle of Hypotheticals

Lucienne eyed Matthew hotly, muttering under her breath, repeatedly, "don't do it, do not do it, don't you dare do it."

Matthew did it anyway.

"Hey, miss Valkyrie," the raven says, fluttering to my side of my shoulder as I make my way to the throne. I turn to the black feathered creature and smile, "oh, hello, sweet raven. How can I be of assistance?"

"Yeah, I was just thinking," Matthew starts, "you're one of the strongest beings in the galaxy."

My nostrils flare, "I am flattered that you think this."

"So, I was wondering: who would win in a fight between you and Dream?"

I freeze in my place, right in front of Dream who was sitting on his throne. He closes the book in his hand with a loud thud upon hearing Matthew's question.

The two of us begin to get nervous under the King of Dreams' stare.

"I..." I start "would never want to be on the bad side of your master-"

"No I know!" Matthew croaks quickly, making Dream lift his head up, "It's just-- without his powers, I think you could take him."

I turn to Matthew, who was looking down at me from my shoulder. I did not know why he was suddenly telling me this, and I ponder at his words before retorting, "I agree."

"You agree?" Matthew mutters.

Dream's deep voice echoes, "you agree?"

Log 1.2: A Battle of Strength

"This is all your fault," Lucienne sighs, crossing her arms as she watches the king and the warrior ready before them in a 'friendly' sparring match.

"Hey! I thought they'd have some cute banter, then I would-"

"They do not know how to banter!"

"What do you mean they don't know how to banter, that's all they do!"

"That's just how they speak to each other," Lucienne snaps.

"Hey, I didn't think he'd pull out a fucking sword!" Matthew watches Dream as he twisted the massive weapon in his had. It was ridiculously large that, in theory, he should not have been able to lift in the first place. "What the heck even is that- WHY IS IT ON FIRE!?"

Lucienne rolls her eyes.

"Are you certain you can take me while you are unarmed?" Dream asks for the 3rd time as I roll my neck.

"You're not allowed to use your powers, my lord," I stretch my arms, "I would be distressed if I offended you by either holding back or defeating you too quickly."

Dream's laugh is deep and rich, "you know me too well."

Matthew gasps, "You know me too-"

"Oh shut it!" Lucienne cuts off

Log 1.3: Fatality

"Boss," "My lord," & "Dream," is shouted three ways.

"I knew this would happen," Lucienne mutters as she rushes over while Matthew flies over head.

I was on my knees, hunched over the form that was effectively knocked out on the floor with a bloody nose. I was lightly and rapidly slapping his cheek as my other hand holds his head up by his nape, "Dream. Dream. Dream. Dream, wake up."

"Nice shot!" Matthew says, landing right beside his boss' head.

"MATTHEW!" Lucienne and I shout.

Matthew croaks.

It seems the loud shout was enough to wake the Dream Lord.

I let out a sigh of relief when he begins to groan and stir.

"My lord," Lucienne sighs, relaxing, "I warned you that it would be a good idea to do this, even with Dragon's Breath."

Dream does not seem to hear her as he reaches out to touch my cheek, "you've grown stronger through the centuries."

Matthew gasps, "You've grown stronger throu-"

I chuckle as I give him a guilty look, "My lord, I did not intend to-"

"Nonsense," Dream smiles with his teeth, thumb rubbing my cheek, "you were exquisite."

"You were exqui-"

"But your nose is bleeding," I whimper, pulling him up until he was sitting down.

Dream withdraws his hand to wipe his philtrum and smirks at the blood on his hand, "I admit, I did not think it possible to both injure and knock me out in my own realm."

"Dream, I-"

"I thank you for the valuable lesson, my dear."

"I thank you for the valuable-" Matthew could not finish his whispers as Lucienne stomps at him.

Log 245 243 ???

"I told you that it was pointless," Lucienne plainly mutters under her breath as she flips the page of the book she was lazily reading.

No one could hear her though from where she sat at the far end of the long table as the lot of the Dreaming congregated in the library to discuss their bids and bets.

"How are we so sure that your logs are accurate and they haven't already confessed!" Cain accuses Matthew as the rest of the members of the table break out in an uproar.

"Yeah! You could be scamming us for our money!" Abel agrees, pointing a finger.

"Well, maybe because I'm not the one who's taking the bets, and it's Gilbert!" Matthew says snapping at Fiddler Green's human form.

Gilbert clears his throat as everyone at the table turns to him.

"You dirty cheat," Cain says.

Gilbert raises his hands, "I can assure you, Matthew's logs are accurate because I have witnessed most of these logs myself during their strolls in Fiddler's Green."

"I say we shake him down for all the loose change he's got," Mervyn points his gloved finger to Gilbert before crossing his arms, making another uproar resound in the library.

And yet all it takes to silence them was an "oh."

The whole room turns to me.

"I'm sorry to have interrupted your meeting," I throw my thumb over my shoulder, "I'll just leave."

"Nonsense," Lucienne stands from her seat, "they were all just leaving, actually. You may continue whatever business it is that you need here."

"Oh, yes," I smile, "I was actually in search for the king. I have word of his-"

"Have you kissed him yet," Cain asks out of nowhere, making me slap my hands on my lips. My eyes grow wide, "I beg your pardon?"

"Cain," Abel warns, shoving him. Cain doesn't give a shit, "I'm only aski-"

"I do not understand why you would accuse me of such a treasonous thing."

"Treason huh," Mervyn shakes his pumpkin head at my words.

We all turn to the side when my name is called out.

My cover my entire lower face with hand when Dream comes up to my side. His brows knit at the looks of me, "are you quite alright."

Everyone but us watches the room when it begins to darken.

Dream, once he is stood before me, shoots a dark glare to his side, making everyone evade his look, "did they say something to offend you?"

I feel my body begin to burn in embarrassment at his words. When Dream turns back to me and reaches out to touch my arm, I flinch then run away.

A breath leaves him as he watches, and soon enough, his form begins to grow bigger. If that did not strike fear in you, I don't know what will.

"IT WAS ABEL!" Cain shouts, pointing to his brother, "ABEL ASKED HER IF SHE KISSED YOU YET!!!"

"What?" Abel helplessly mutters.

Dream's voice reverberates the entire Dreaming, "what?"

Comet... comet..

What if

Dew and Sunshine are having a lil movie night and Mountain and Ifrit interrupt them 👀.

Dew either get super angry so Mountain (or Fritter) shuts him up mean while Sunshine teases them alll

I'm never going to get tired of writing Sunshine/Dew content, I SWEAR.

Also I got so excited to write this I missed the part about Ifrit being there too. OOPS. Just...uhh...imagine he’s also there making Dew even madder. 

Alone time is a rarity. The unspoken rule around the abbey after the library incident is that Dew and Sunshine are not allowed to be alone in a room together. And while there's no real enforcement of it--Dew finds it nearly impossible to even watch a fucking movie with Sunshine without someone else showing up. It doesn't matter that they're in his room in his bed. He knows it's a matter of time before someone catches on that they're both missing from whatever group activity Aether has planned for tonight and decides to check in on them--make sure they're not lighting the abbey on fire. It was one time and it wasn't even that big of a fire. Dew has no idea why everyone is still so upset about it. Sunshine gets to pick the movies--that's the standing rule. It's mostly because Sunshine is sick to death of horror movies and that's really the only thing Dew knows anything about. She showed up just after dinner with a stack of DVDs in her arms and a fuzzy blanket she absolutely stole from Mountain's bed. Now, they're curled up under it. Sunshine's head nestled under Dew's chin, his arm curled loosely around her waist. The movie is one of those dumb sappy romances she likes so much, and he's doing his best to pay attention to what's happening. But really, once you've seen one seasonal romance you've seen them all. And he's can't help that his mind is wandering. Sunshine smells like peaches, honey, like a light shining through a window. She's warm and soft, and Dew's mind is slipping steadily into less innocent thoughts. He's thinking about tipping her head up and kissing her, tasting the summer taste of her on his tongue. He's thinking about pressing her back into the bed, about her halo of curls on his pillow, about her skin under his mouth and the feel of her-- The door bangs open. Dew jolts upright, his heart hammering in his chest. The movement dislodges Sunshine. She sits up too, dragging her knees up to rest her elbows on them as Mountain steps through the door. "Get out," Dew snaps. "I knew you took my blanket," Mountain says, ignoring Dew completely. He crosses the room and shoves Dew to the side. He slots himself between them on the bed. Dew is going to claw his fucking eyes out. "What are we watching?" Mountain asks, throwing his arm around Sunshine and pulling her close. She purrs against him. Dew growls. "You weren't invited." Sunshine laughs, looking over Mountain's chest at where Dew's pouting on the edge of the bed. He loves Mountain, god he loves Mountain though you'd never hear him say it out loud, but right now he wants to tear out his throat, send him back to the pit. Mountain slings his other arm around Dew and drags him in. Dew is helpless to fight it. He thinks about raising his temperature. Setting himself and the bed and everyone else on fire. "Sunshine invited me." Dew freezes. He tips his head up to look at Sunshine. She grins at him. "Surprise!" The images of Sunshine spread out for him on his bed twist to include Mountain behind him, one big hand on his hip, the other in his hair. His stomach clenches at the thought. Dew sighs, and puts his head back down. "I fucking hate you both," he grumbles all while snuggling himself deeper into Mountain's side. "Yeah, yeah, of course, you do."

mangle has two heads!! does mangle have two different processors, one for each head, sharing control of her body? or does she have one central processor that controls both heads? does she get up to mischief, having (at least) four ocular sensors? does she ever use her secondary head as her own ventriloquist dummy to make mike and the gang laugh? tell us about mangle in the KGA the public is clamoring for it

Mangle do!! Here's some info dump on them ahah. They have some stories coming up in Another Five Nights 2, but this is just extra info. At some point though I do wanna tackle fully how Mike met the Toys, including the lovely Ms Foxy.

Mangle can see through all 4 eyes and can get unhappy or sluggish when even one of them fails her, being very used to tons of angles to study things. Very sensitive to light and motion like the Foxies are, Mangle loves chasing games and tormenting poor mice inside the old restaurant. To Freddy's exasperation she'll just let them go once she's cornered them, although if Mike can catch them in a cup he'll send the lil field mice into the woods out back. (Mangle mopes.) Mangle was his canon model/size up until Finding Freddy when Mike swiped bits and pieces from Pizza World and rebuilt her to her current length of 20 feet to defend him against Circus Baby. She has any number of paws and feets, mostly from Funtime Foxy's parts, and one of Foxy's old hooks she is VERY proud of and keeps well polished. Mike was careful to use limbs only from Pizza World, no chips or brains that would threaten Mangle's personality or introduce any of Afton's crueler concepts.

Although Mangle speaks in bursts of static and garbled noises out loud, she can project to the Fazes and speak <Like This> to her friends. Her secondary head is another extension of herself, and sometimes when Freddy is lecturing someone she'll lower behind him and mimic the scene with her mini-head, much to the amusement of anyone able to see him. Like the rest of the gang, she is adept at sign. They're very animated as well, and doesn't hide their emotions. When angered or alarmed, Mangle can emit a horrible series of sounds that cause nearby Animatronics to freeze up. Max has dubbed it the 'dial-up attack.'

Mangle-tangle is very good with kiddos, and has never lost her adoration for curious hands and questioning minds. Mike takes her to reading groups at Hurricane's local library--typically Freddy and Chica go with her, but Mangle is the Favorite. She's good during panic attacks too, able to use her frame for weighted purposes and be in careful control to never squish someone she is helping.

After Finding Freddy, Mike loosened and rearranged a few of her bits and pieces and installed ones that have no purpose besides 'safe toys kid's can play and fidget with' while they read to her.

Mangle herself has a big collection of shinies and fidget toys! As well as a favorite pillow and a worn blanket they drag around and cuddle up with. They also like to gnaw on things when bored or need to stim. Mangle sometimes picks and tugs at their own parts when distressed, causing self-damage. Once the Fazes figured out she simply needed repairs, security, and comfort when upset, her self-destructive habits were curbed. She was VERY aggressive at Mike originally, until calmed down and he worked to earn her trust, letting him become her technician.

Like the other Toys, Mangle was never haunted by a child's spirit, so their personality grew by copying, from age, and from Marion's teachings on humanity. (Well, the best he could manage...) For whatever reason, the other Toys turned into cloistered, slightly vacant, and strange Animatronics. The Fazes only like Ms. Foxy, and don't hide it. (The feeling is mutual with the Toys, though.) Ms. Foxy often feels very torn--loving her Toy siblings but also loving the older members--Foxy and Marion namely.

Mangle is very heavy with all those parts! So while they aren't the fastest like Foxy is, their sheer size and ability to crawl along the ceiling beams and pounce is still useful. They move snake-like, kinking up when curious and stretching out to relax in sun beams in the afternoon. Mari knows Mangle can fit in all manner of odd places, and typically uses her to collect information.

Mangle loves all the Fazes, but she admires/loves Foxy beyond words and would do anything for her Captain. He calls her First Mate in return, and adores her right back. She's also very fond of Marion and Max.

Kaeya!Kingscholar is an outwardly confident and charming individual with a flair for drama. He is sometimes seen as overly laid-back and even lazy, but he takes his work seriously. He is surprisingly popular among the elderly of Mwezi Miji, even earning himself the title of "top candidate for grandson-in-law." His charisma and determination have earned him the admiration, respect, and favor of many people in Mwezi Miji — yet, his love for provoking others has also gained him the exasperation of those same people.

Despite his lazy and laid back tendencies, he does show up to classes more than Leona does. The chances that he's not in classes happens sometimes, but he can often be found hanging out with Sans!Zigvolt(whenever he finds him sleeping either at Ramshackle or someplace else), Ingo!Vanrouge(at Ramshackle)or Lisa!Schoenheit(in the Library). His class average is A+ and the class he skips the most is Art even then he still has an A+ in that class as well.

He appears to struggle with loneliness due to being the runaway Afterglow Prince, though he playfully deflects when confronted about it. He frequently reminds the other Black Sheeps that they can talk to him and invites them to spend time with him.

☆☆☆☆☆

Sans!Zigvolt and Kaeya!Kingscholar

The besties for no particular reasons. Most people at NRC thinks it's because they know more than they let on, but often hides it from others.

At Pomefiore's Entrance

Sans!Zigvolt: I'm a little surprised that you invited me to hang out today especially at Pomefiore. *laying next to the sitting beastman*

Kaeya!Kingscholar: Oh, is it not more fun to be with me than in classes? Besides, I can tell you were going to skip them and fall asleep somewhere else anyways.

Sans!Zigvolt: I can't miss my eight plus hours of sleep. *winks at him* Better not let Vil catch us here.

Kaeya!Kingscholar: *chuckling* Do not worry, I have a backup plan if he ever comes by.

☆☆☆☆☆

Che'nya!(Name) and Kaeya!Kingscholar

Even though their interactions are often short, they're often friendly with each other.

Che'nya!(Name): *appears right beside Kaeya!Kingscholar* I do miss your presence at class today. *floating right beside him* Did you want any sweets?

Kaeya!Kingscholar: More on the savory side, but give Ingo!Vanrouge and the chef my greetings.

Che'nya!(Name): Maybe.... *disappears in a trail of gray smoke*

☆☆☆☆☆

Ingo!Vanrouge and Kaeya!Kingscholar

People often think that they don't like each other due to their contrasting personalities, but it's not like that. Kaeya!Kingscholar is one of the few who knows about Ingo!Vanrouge's memory laspes and how awful they are.

Kaeya!Kingscholar: Do you know where we were? *carefully placing a blanket around the latter*

Ingo!Vanrouge: *is completely disheveled with tears streaming down his face and his hands clutching his hair* .........I...... Ramshackle...... bu......but....... loud. It's too loud...... where's Lilia? Is he....?

Kaeya!Kingscholar: He's on his way, you had a minor...... hiccup. *sitting a few feet away from him*

Ingo!Vanrouge: And..... the others....... they're not...... they're not missing...

Kaeya!Kingscholar: *shaking his head* They're in class and Sans!Zigvolt is making hot chocolate in the kitchen.

Ingo!Vanrouge: An-and, we're safe?

Sans!Zigvolt: *entering the room carefully with a tray of hot chocolate* Yep, so safe. Hot chocolate? *hands Ingo!Vanrouge his cup*

Ingo!Vanrouge: Thank you...... *holding his cup* Both of you......

ooh another genshin twst black sheep :O

we love kaeya!kingscholar :DD just a lil lad that is def hiding something ;))

hmm i think nuru and the twins would have a lot of fun kaeya!kingscholar? idk just another addition to the troublemakers :))

just imagine running into them and sans!zigvolt at the most convenient times :) and maybe che'nya!(name) :OO all three are our mystery trio :DD

and lil ingo!vanrouge DD: ugh i love the lil relationships between them and the others :))

[heckeronincheese]

I still think the discourse of using presets or sound kits in music production being bad is kinda fuckin stupid.

They're tools designed for you the creator to play with and make neat sounds with while learning how these sounds work to build off of or make new sounds

It'd be like yelling at an artist for using a reference book. It's a tool and it's there for your use. So stfu and let people learn with these items to make more crazy shit.

Let them learn with these tools to make their own stuff from scratch later.

Not everyone came out of the womb knowing how to make the perfect kick drum or ambient synth drone.

I still use a tweaked version of preset 5 on Fruity reverb during ambient work. Cus shit it makes that sound good. And I've been working with music for almost a decade now.

Side note: you don't need a multi hundred dollar synth to do cool stuff.

There's free software synths

But if you're inclined on trying hardware synths

Try a volca they come in many flavors broken into two categories and are fairly affordable new and used.

Beat and melody

.drum(weird experimental but fun)

.kick(it's a kick drum kinda redundant these days but still fun)

.beat (basic but easy drum machine)

Sample(it's a sampler can make beats and melodies depending on which samples you load. It's factory library is also nice)

Bass(well it's in the name. A lil pocket sized 303like box)

Keys(analog melodies very warm and dreary but can also be loud and crunchy)

FM (80s in a box it's a pocket sized DX7 can even take old DX7 sound bank files with the right cable and software (dexxed) has a slight learning curve (FM synthesis is notoriously weird)

Nubass (volca bass fine tuned with new tricks and added built in vacutube amp)

Modular: buchla styled modulation that is targeted for making weird and other worldly sounds (the limit is your imagination and patience)

(to limit confusion FM 2 is a new enhanced version of the original FM. Same goes for the sample 2 id opt for the sample 2 cus it's handy library software,micro USB socket, and expanded storage. No need to use the sync cable to load shit)

And best of all the nice ass features they all have.

.midi in (except the modular it uses CV and that's a whole new can of worms)

.cheap as hell

. optional power supply or battery power(6 AAs decent battery life tbh)

.ok internal speaker for on the go fun

.user friendly as hell.

.the sync in sync out so you can sync them together or with other hardware you have laying around to mitigate stress about timing.

(below my old "studio" from 2021)

[obiwanobi]

Do you think that lil baby anakin, a newbie in this huge loud temple turned to holodramas because in there the kids would be weird and special, and yet they had friends and big families and went to school and learned cool things and got to go on adventures with those friends? And then obi-wan introduces him to the library to try and get him into novels instead of tv but Anakin takes it as a criticism. And then obi-wan sets up play dates which go horribly because no one wants to talk about weird non-jedi holodramas. This becomes another strike against Anakin being an outsider.

But also: palatine has no idea what shows are on or what they're about because he's 1000 years old and also a busy politician

I am OBSESSED with the idea that watching holoshows is now Anakin's first interest, so in order to relate to him more Palpatine tries watching his favourite, 'Crime and Passion in Theed', because he can't keep up when Anakin talks about the characters by their names, so congrats to Anakin who made the Chancellor of the Republic AND a Sith Lord watch 12 seasons of the most romantic and sentimental show around

[oswaldsleftbicep]

Hi,

could you write for Oswald, Lucas and Levy about good and bad habits of them in a relationship? Like what it is like to live with them. Things you do together, how do you spend your time with one another ...

Btw you're cool:)

what it's like being in a relationship with levy, oswald, & lucas

aaa this is so cute!! no plot but just a bunch of hcs with a gn!reader :) also you're cooler <3

genre: general, fluff

cw: mentions of arguments, slight spoilers for oswald's route, mentions of alcohol in lucas' part

Levy

❧ we all know he loves books so he'll definitely read to you often. he'll let you pick out a few books from the library and read them aloud to the two of you. if you're still learning the language, he'll quiz you by asking you to read a paragraph out loud or to translate a sentence

❧ leaves his books lying around tho. he seems the type to read a few books at a time so he won't return them all to the shelves. however, he won't just have them open and on the floor; he'll at least have them stacked up on a table so they're out of the way

❧ he also seems like he'd have a couple really fancy bookmarks but when he's reading multiple books at a time and runs out of book marks he'll just use whatever is nearby. so that one important paper you can't find? check inside one of his books lol

❧ he's a total hopeless romantic so those little domestic moments y'all have own his heart, like watching you get ready in the morning or helping you make some special tea or dessert

❧ but he is not a morning person, he prefers staying up late to read and chat, so getting him up and out of bed in the mornings is a struggle. it's not that you can't wake him up, he just doesn't want to leave the warm and comfortable bed, but he'll be much more willing to get up if there's something to look forward to during the day

❧ for example, he loves having meals with you. he doesn't seem like a full meal kinda guy, but small tea party or picnic like meals are his jam. so plan a cute little breakfast for the two of you and he'll be excited to wake up

❧ something he needs to work on is communication, he just can't seem to fully express his thoughts and feelings well or in a way that isn't insensitive, so unless you understand his thinking, expect there to be a lil fight or argument every now and then

❧ cannot cook, please keep him out of the kitchen, he will burn everything; like you can leave him alone for five minutes with a pot of soup and he'll forget to stir the pot and burn the soup

❧ but he is pretty good at cleaning as he likes to keep his living space tidy; it's not like super sparkly clean but there's no clothes or trash lying around

❧ he probably takes really long baths cuz he likes to soak and relax, so if he's using the only nearby bathroom, good luck lol. but because of this, expect to take baths together on a regular basis, he finds it helps him relax even more

❧ takes you out on dates on a somewhat regular basis, but they're pretty much always picnics or going into town to shop at a bookstore and then getting lunch, so for the sake of variety, you gotta plan some of y'all's dates lol

Oswald

❧ sharing a living space with him would have the most peaceful and calming atmosphere, like it just screams cottagecore

❧ he gets up pretty early, like he rises with the sun, so he tries to go to bed at a reasonable time when his schedule allows it so he can be well rested. if you don't get up that early, he'll try to be as quiet as possible while getting ready for the day

❧ his cabin is relatively messy, like an organized mess type deal. he really tries to keep everything neat and tidy, but organization has never been his strong suit, so all the cleaning would likely be up to you

❧ he's not good at cooking either lmao but he has the potential to learn simple dishes and even some easy desserts

❧ he has a pretty busy schedule with gardening and running errands for kaim and lucia, so the only time you can rely on having with him is mornings, meals, and before bed

❧ always wants you to get as much rest as possible, but if you insist on waking up with him in the early mornings he loves getting ready with you; it's all so quiet and soft and loving. if applicable, he'll brush your hair for you and try braiding it or putting it in a ponytail

❧ very quick with baths, he does what he needs to do and there's no dilly dallying; but every once in a while y'all will have a nice, relaxing bubble bath together as a way to wind down from a particularly long day or week

❧ dates would likely be pretty rare for the two of you considering how busy the two of you are, but if he needs to run into town for an errand he'll bring you along so you can look at some shops and maybe get lunch at a little cafe

❧ he totally creates a new bouquet of flowers for you every week, and he has a little personal garden where he grows all your favorite flowers and some herbs that you like

❧ he's pretty good at remembering to take his medicine for his condition, mostly because he knows it'll lower his chances of hurting you again. his condition is definitely something that'll be a bit of an obstacle throughout y'all's relationship, and when he gets insecure about it he'll get pretty distant, but as long as you're there to support and reassure him he'll be ok

Lucas

❧ he'd be wonderful to live with, but he keeps a pretty messy living space, not in a slobby way but in an aesthetic way lol he's a maximalist

❧ he's also such a gossip, but he'll never tell you the full story just to keep you guessing and wanting to know more. like he'll drop some really juicy secret but won't tell you who it's about smh

❧ he's decent at cooking, but his skill level is mainly soups and pastas, so easy comfort foods. he's pretty good at baking too and loves to bake with you

❧ he doesn't need a lot of sleep, like he goes to bed late and wakes up early without hassle; mans is somehow perfectly fine running on like four hours of sleep and i'm jealous. but he loves a good nap and would make you nap with him

❧ he gives wine or champagne drinker vibes so i'd imagine there'd be a few bottles always lying around. he's a heavy weight so you'd basically never see him drunk

❧ he'd also love to go on trips with you to random places in nightmare, and even outside of the kingdom's borders do y'all ever think about what lies beyond nightmare? like it can't just be the kingdom and that's it, there's gotta be like at least an ocean

❧ but even though he loves spending those adventures with you, he does appreciate some alone time every now and then, so he'll sometimes go off on his own for a day or two and return home late, but he always comes home to you

❧ he loves doing everything else with you tho, like cooking and eating and taking baths and getting ready for the day together, loves some of that sweet sweet quality time

❧ he probably gets matching jewelry for the two of you if you wear jewelry, and i can imagine him helping you with the clasps on bracelets and necklaces, like he's so gentle with his touches and it's like both you and the clasps are the most fragile things ever

❧ he's been through so much in his entire lifetime, and some of those memories and experiences will likely haunt him and cause him to have bad dreams or to get insecure or emotional at random times, so as long as you're understanding about it and don't push him to tell you anything he'll be ok after a bit. he promises to tell you about it someday tho, but he'll never tell you absolutely everything

I took a lil bit of inspiration from the chorus(hence, the title). You took inspiration from a song, so did I lol. It took me a bit to find the mood for the story, but once I found it I couldn't stop lol. So. Two-parter. Uh a bit of cursing, Rated T. Slight angst for a minute. The names I used are not people I actually know, they're from a random name generator website. Enjoy!

The Host stares at them from across the room.

Well… less ‘stares’ and more ‘keeps his head facing their general direction’. Even so.

They are beautiful. Even with the loss of his sight, he knew they were beautiful. On the inside, at least. He smiles in content as he hears their angelic laugh from across the room. Bing is making jokes again. The Host might’ve been jealous if he were a lesser man and if he weren’t so focused on how their happiness made him happy.

He doesn’t very much understand what he is experiencing. He’d seen movies, he’d read books, he’d listened to songs. He knows what love is. He knows it well.

What it feels like, however, was a completely different ballgame.

Host more focused on his work than on romance. Besides, he just doesn’t like people. He wanted to fall in love at times, but he just couldn’t.

Y/N on the other hand makes him… feel things. He’s not sure if it’s love, he just knows he really enjoys everything they do.

He doesn’t even care that they barely talk to him anymore.

Well… he cares, obviously, but…

You understand, don’t you? Good.

“Host? Hooost. Host!” A voice calls from his side. He hums in response. Bim rolls his eyes and leans back in his chair. “Have you been listening to me for the past ten minutes?”

“No,” Host answers flatly. Bim smiles when he looks over to where Host was facing.

"So you've finally realized you have a crush?" He teased. Host raises his eyebrows.

"Finally?"

"Oh, yeah. We’ve known this, Host, it's really obvious." Host furrows his eyebrows.

"We? What does Bim mean by ‘we’?" They hear footsteps and turn towards the front.

Y/N standing in front of the two, a small, awkward smile on their face.

"Hey," Y/N greets softly. The Host is frozen in place.

"Hey!" Bim says, a wicked grin on his face as he sees the effect on Host. "Didya need something?"

"Yeah, um… Bing told me to ask you where Wilford would be…"

"Oh, well I know nothing about Wilford. I don't think anyone does," Bim explained. “But Host here knows everything, so…” Host turned to Bim angrily. He turns back to Y/N when he hears them clear their throat.

“So, uh, Host?” They ask. Host has to keep himself from shivering at the sound of his name.

“Hm?”

“Where is Wilford?”

“W-Wilford is d-down th-the hall… uh, t-to th-the right f-from the b-bathroom…” Host stutters out, voice cracking once or twice. Y/N smiles and nods in thanks before remembering Host is, in fact, blind.

“Uh, thank you…” They laugh, embarrassed. Host tries to give a small smile. His face isn’t used to that yet, so he settles for a nod. They walk away, and he increasingly becomes more sad and more embarrassed as their footsteps fade away.

“Wow,” Bim laughs, “For a narrator, you can’t talk very well, can you?”

“That is not true, the Host can talk very well…” He pauses, “When he is not around Y/N…”

“Oh, so it’s just them, huh?”

“Yes, they very much affect Host and he isn’t quite sure he likes it…” Bim smiles at Host. “What is the problem with Bim Trimmer?”

“There’s no problem, Host, I’m just happy for you!”

“Why would Bim be happy that Host cannot speak correctly?”

“Because you’re in love, dumbass!” Host would have found the insult very… well… insulting if he hadn’t become distracted by the previous phrase.

‘Because you’re in love’. Was Host in love? He wasn’t sure what that felt like.

There was Serena Munoz in kindergarten. They dated for a couple days. She didn’t like how he read constantly, and decided to break up with him. Host wasn’t in love with Serena. He wasn’t even sure he had a crush on her. Maybe he dated her just because she asked. It didn’t affect him when they broke up.

Then there was Jesse Snow in the sixth grade. He was nice. Trumpet player in the band. They liked to read together in the library at lunch and after school. They recommended books to each other and even wrote a couple stories together. They sat next to each other in math and passed notes in cryptography so the teacher wouldn’t understand. They would, though. But Jesse was scared. Two boys dating in middle school? Not the best for his image. He probably got teased or called gay(which he was) and that’s why they broke up. He liked Jesse. He was sad when they stopped talking. But he didn’t think that was love. It was more of a ‘like’ than anything.

Then Asa Holmes in his senior year of highschool. They were really different. They had blue hair, but he could see the natural-brown in the roots. They wore a lot of black and spikes and chains. They listened to punk rock and heavy metal. Host liked the heavy metal more, so they listened to that more often. They did homework together at Asa’s house, and Asa would start dancing halfway through and it kind of annoyed Host, but he also found it endearing. Then they graduated and promised to keep in touch, but Asa just… couldn’t. Host understood, and they stopped. He was disappointed, but he wasn’t in love with them.

Is this what love feels like? Is it a weird feeling in your stomach when you look at this one person? Is it your heart racing when you see them laugh? Is it hyperventilating when they come over to talk to you? Is that what love is?

Oh.

Oh no.

Host is in love.

Y/N had managed to weasel their way into the dark and lonely place in his soul and fill it with hope and joy and love.

And, oh, how he absolutely loves you.

And what the hell is he supposed to do about that?

--

“Uh, Host?” Bim calls after 20 minutes of silence from the writer. “Are uh… are you okay?”

“No,” Host answers instantly.

“Uh… why not?”

“Because… Host is in love…” Bim is quiet for a second and Host worries he’s gone Deaf as well. But Bim lets out a loud laugh that startles Host.

“Bing! Get your ass over here, you owe me $30!” Bim yells. Bing groans and drags his feet over to them, mumbling as he takes the money out of his wallet. Host begins to zone out, all the noise around him fading into nothing.

Host was… in love. What was he to do? Tell Y/N? No… he couldn’t. They might hate him. They might think he’s awful. They might stop being around him completely. He couldn’t handle that.

So, what was he to do?

“So, what’re you gonna do?” Bim asks, as if reading Hosts mind. “You’ve got to tell them of course.”

“No.”

“No?” Bim scoffs, “Wha do you mean, ‘no’? You have to tell them, Host!”

“Hos does not have to do anything. Host is content with watching from afar.” Host explains. There’s a pause.

“That’s goddamn creepy, Host,” Bim states. Host frowns. It is a bit creepy.

“Host cannot tell them,” He whispers. Bim, finally seeming to understand, sighs and leans forward.

“Look, Host, I know you’re scared. I know this is unfamiliar territory for you, but…” Bim starts. Host leans a bit towards him, wanting to hear what he has to say. He may treat the man like he’s annoying, but ultimately, Host cares about his opinion. Bim sighs again.

“If you don’t tell them, you’re going to regret it. Trust me I know…” Bim pauses, and Host begins wondering who hurt him. “But, these are your feelings, Host! You can’t keep them bottled up inside you forever. It’s unhealthy. You need to tell them and if they like you back, great! If they don’t, that’s too bad, watch ‘Dirty Dancing’ on repeat and eat a tub of ice cream like the rest of us.” Host tilts his head a bit.

“Host cannot exactly watch--”

“Oh, you know what I meant, smartass!” Bim laughs and Host smiles. He does know what Bim meant, and he undrstands. He just needs to say it. How would he say it?

‘Hi. I like you. Say it back.’

That’s a bit too forward.

But forward is what Host does. It’s who he is, he can’t change that.

He’ll just say that to them when they come back.

Y/N walks back into the room where Bim and Host are. They’re wearing different shoes, he can tell. Are they wearing different clothes as well? Why would they be?

Wait…

“Wow, hey Y/N! Who you dressing all nice for?” Illinois says from somewhere else in the room. Host is pale. He doesn’t want to know.

“Well,” Y/N chuckles, “I’m glad you asked!”

No.

No, no, no.

“I’m actually going out for lunch.”

“Really? With who?”

Stop.

Stop!

“It’s ‘whom’.”

“Fuck you, Google. Y/N, spill.”

Don’t.

Please, don’t.

“I’m going out on a date!” They finally finish. The room is completely silent. Not that Host would hear anything with the ringing in his ears.

He felt bad. He felt so bad. He hated this… feeling. He was so upset.

“Well, don’t all talk at once…” Y/N jokes awkwardly. Bim finally decides to take pity on them.

“Wow! Didn’t know you had it in you!” He teased. “Congrats!” The other egos joined in in a chorus of congradulatory phrases. Host was silent.

“Well, I better go. Wish me luck!” They said, practically bouncing out the door. Everyone said goodbye to them, and the door finally closed. Host could feel everyone’s eyes on him. They all knew. The all knew. And he didn’t until he was too late to do anything.

Typical of him.

“Host…” Bim starts. Before he can say anything else, Host shoots up and makes a beeline for the bathroom. No one calls after him, no one tries to stop him, no one does anything, He is grateful for that. He just wants to sit and wallow, and that’s exactly what he plans to do.

--

Host heard a soft knock on the door.

“Host?” Bim asks quietly. “Host, it’s Bim. Are you okay?”

“No,” Host whispers. “Host is not okay. Why would Host be okay?”

“Well, uh… you’ve just… been in there a while. I figured you’d have gotten a bit better…”

“Host has not.”

“Oh…”

Silence for a moment, and Host thinks Bim will leave. No matter how much he may try to seem cold, he does enjoy the man’s company.

“Don’t worry. I’m still here.”

Host lets out a breath he didn’t know he was holding.

“Bim?” He hears the other man shift so he is sitting out side the bathroom door.

“Yeah, Host?”

“Do you think Host is worthy of love?”

“Yes.” Bim said immediately. Host waited for an explanation. He got none. He supposed that’s just how it works. Sometimes you don’t get an explanation.

“Bim?”

“Yeah?”

“Do you think that Y/N could be in love with Host?”

“I think… you shouldn’t bet on it.” Host’s shoulders fall. “But, I also think that there is a possibility and you should tell them soon before they fall in love with someone else.” Host brought his head up. Bim was right.

Y/N was going on a date. Presumably, their first date with this person. Dates are used to figure out if someone is in love, or gives an oppurtunity for someone to fall in love. There was still time. He still has time.

Host swings the bathroom door open and Bim hits his head on the floor.

“Ow! Dammit, Host!” He cursed. Host couldn’t feel bad. Not now.

“Host needs help.”

“With what?” Host turns towards Bim, who pulled himself to his feet.

“With getting Y/N to fall in love with me.” Host heard nothing for a second. Then, a chuckle from the gameshow host.

“Alright,” He sighs, “What do you wanna do?”

Highschool AU : HC where RFA+V+Saeran react to MC being too friendly with her teacher??? (RFA+V+Saeran is also a student and they're not a pair yet, but they fell hard for MC)5

(warning, really long mini-fanfics ahead! )

it’s really weird to be too friendly to a stranger teacher so i made them relatives^^

Zen

nights spent under the dim light of the han’s basement which the drama club called their theatre were the best to the class. be it the hundreds of pillows and fur carpets or the many snacks and drinks provided to the students.

despite the various studies and homework piled over them, they didn’t really care as topics threw themselves around, from stories to gossip, everything was taken in and joked about.

hyun sat hugging one of the colourful pillows as he scrolled through his ig, behind him was a fellow clubmate who had the honour of braiding his hair as they listened to the chatter of the others. “ hmm? ” she suddenly spoke. “ isn’t that MC ? ”

with a nod of his head, he liked the picture and scrolled past. “ have you heard though? ” someone from the back spoke, gathering the attention of everyone. “ she’s hitting it off with vanderwood! ”

gasps spread throughout the large room, earning a laugh from hyun. “ she’s just really friendly, ” he argued. “ extremely nice and easy to talk to. ”

“ look at you and your crush ! ” they laughed as blood rushed towards hyun’s face and he started laughing loudly, pushing the topic aside.

okay maybe, just maybe , his friends were right about her being too friendly with the teacher- but there’s no way, a teacher!

he grit his teeth as he watched vanderwood rest his hand on her arm, giving her a couple of papers before she had smiled at him dearly.

the sight horrified him- he realized how possessive he seemed but the heavy knot she had tied him with was driving him crazy, he couldn’t deny her charm and he hated the sight of her, with his least favourite teacher.

as the said hated man walked away, MC was left standing alone besides her locker. a chance that couldn’t be wasted, hyun did grasp it and walk towards her. “ hey babe ” he winked, earning a laugh from her.

“ hello, zen. ” she emphasized at the nickname the school gave him, as she opened her locker, shoving her books inside before taking others out.

a smile tugging at his lips, he rested the side of his arm on the locker, looking at the shorter female, “ i’ll give you the honour of calling me hyun. ”

she smiled and the butterflies decided to go mad and tug on his heartstrings. “ i know, uh, this seems really mad. ” he suddenly said, courage taking the best of him. “ but everyone’s going around saying you’re kickin it off with vanderwood and some other rumors of you havin a boyfriend and i tho- ”

the sudden words brought a loud laugh out of her, interrupting the white headed, “ vanderwood ? ” she said, unable to contain her shock. “ he’s my cousin- last time i checked, i didn’t have a boyfriend ”

information running through hyun’s mind took him a moment to process them properly. surprise was no doubtly showing on his face as MC excused herself and walked away, a smile still on her face.

what a pleasing thing to learn, he thought as relief washed itself over his chest. so he had a chance with her and that assured him very much.

Jumin

school festivals weren’t really jumin’s thing, until of course his parents decided to endorse into the activities of the school and thus, he was forced to join in on the hype, much to his dismay.

he sighed, looking at the list of requirements as his friends on the other hand seemed to be having the fun of their lives. really, what was so pleasing about cleaning and decorating yourself when someone could do it for you?

but well, not everyone is from a rich family like you, mr han.

sighing once more, his dear friend jihyun pushed a box towards him which seemed to be filled with different and colourful decorations.

okay, maybe helping the others wasn’t a bad thing, he thought as he saw who happened to be a family friend and his crush, MC, walk into the room carrying large cardboards.

jumin, being the gentleman he is, did not hesitate to rush in and help her in carrying the large amount she was carrying.

as he was setting them aside, their art teacher walked in and his immediate reaction was to wrap his arm around MC’s shoulder.

she didn’t shy up from his behaviour and instead smiled at him, resulting in jumin’s stomach aching as if it was tied in a knot.

soon enough, MC had excused herself out and the teacher remained to help along with the cardboards.

a chance was given to the chaebol as he was left alone in the room with the teacher. and as the mentioned man had requested a hand from jumin to tie ribbons around the classroom, the student didn’t reply and started at the teacher. “ are you and MC dating ? ” he asked, bluntly.

“ i quite fancy her and thus, i’ll be the selfish and spoiled child i am, ” he added, “ i will tell the management about this. you know clearly we are not of the legal ag- ”

the laughter erupting from his teacher’s lips filled the quiet room and brought a shocked expression upon jumin’s face. “ god, han. ” he said as he tried to regain his breath, “ have you forgotten that i’m her uncle ? ”

sudden realization hit jumin, “ i apologize. ” he replied sternly, “ i fear i am too attached. ” he said with a chuckle, receiving a nod from the teacher.

Yoosung

the blond tried to mantain the best of his sanity, keeping his mouth shut and eyes open as he read through the japanese book- god, who decided learning japanese as a secondary language midway was a perfect idea?

the quiet atmosphere of the library didnt help. and you know what was worse? his elementary crush which happened to still be his crush in highschool sat opposite to him, studying whatever she was doing.

yoosung just wanted to look up from his book to admire her beautiful features, sinking deep into his mind palace which was literally filled with imaginations of her, but really- he had a test tomorrow!

focus yoosung, focus.

a sudden figure sat down in the opposite table where MC was and yoosung had noticed it from the top of his eyes.

curiousity took the best of him and he looked up, to find his history teacher seated rather close to MC, who smiled at him as she tugged a fallen strand of hair behind her ear- the simgle gesture tugged a smile on the teacher’s lips-

furious, yoosung didn’t know how to react to the sight infront of him, he wanted to scream at the teacher yet he tried to keep it in, fuck’s sake it’s a library.

nope, he couldn’t. he wanted to be the good guy here and thus he gathered up his books, forcing them into his bag as he got up to wherever his feet would take him.

lack of sleep due to excessive gaming was a norm to the blond, but lack of sleep due to excessive gaming because his crush was being too nice with his history teacher was certainly rather specific and strange.

he spotted the culprit of his sorrow, the history teacher himself, standing infront of the vending machine, sipping his iced coffee.

with no hesitation, yoosung walked up to him and stared right up into his eyes. “ are you flirting with MC ? dating her ? ” he said, fists clenched.

the teacher almost spat his drink out from the sudden outburst of his student- “ i’m her brother’s boyfriend.. ”

the sudden realization hit yoosung- of course, he forgot because he didn’t care! the history teacher came out to the class last year and he indeed mentioned he was getting engaged to someone!

how immature yoosung seemed had his cheeks painted with the darkest shade of red, “ oh god i’m so sorry mr park! ” he said loudly as he continuously bowed his head.

in response, the teacher merely laughed, “ you have a thing kickin for my lil sis in law huh? ” he said before patting yoosung’s shoulder, wishing him goodluck.

and that was how MC learned that yoosung had a crush on her and why she decided to confront him about it next day. and to say the least, both were very happy about the results of them helping each other out with history and japanese in the comfort of yoosung’s shithole of an apartment since they were kicked out of the library for being too loud.

Jaehee

chemistry class, how fun it was for jaehee.

mostly because she was partnered up with her dearest friend and crush, MC. the naive girl couldn’t tell of jaehee’s obvious feelings towards her and that sent doubts upon jaehee.

was MC into jaehee? into girls even? the thought of this topic brought shivers down jaehee’s spine often yet she promised herself to enjoy each quality moment with MC anyways.

the book didn’t help much in describing what needed to be done and certainly the two didn’t understand anything, and thus MC decided to call for the teacher-

the teacher, the smile on jaehee’s face died down as the man headed towards the two. she hated him, for the reason that he seemed to be too comfortable and flirty with MC and it made jaehee personally uncomfortable for her friend.

as soon as he arrived and leaned down hand wrapped around mc’s shoulder, she smiled at him and explained the struggles of the two with a soft, polite voice.

jaehee frowned, huffing as the teacher explained a point similar to what jaehee had in mind earlier but MC refused to do-

but as soon as the teacher had suggested it, MC rushed to do it without hesitation, pushing jaehee on her nerves even more.

shortly after class, the two girls sat in the cafeteria discussing different topics all coming from MC. the other gal replied dryly and seemed to be lost in a daze.

the sudden switch of behavior confused MC and she decided its best to discuss the elephant in the room. “ are you okay ? ” she asked, resting her arm on jaehee’s shoulder.

with a distressed look and a confused mind, jaehee found the courgae inside of her, “ look, i dont want to lose you as a friend-” MC frowned at the sudden talk, “ but are you and that teacher a thing ? ” she asked.

“ you see- ”

MC groaned. “ he’s my brother! ” she said. “ alot of people mistake us for one because he loves hugs ” she huffed. “ besides i’m not even into men, i thought you knew that ? ”

jaehee’s eyes widened, “ n-no, actually i never knew. ”“ oh gosh, i hope you don’t feel awkward now ! ” MC suddenly said- blood rushing to her cheeks. “ i mean well um- ”

jaehee smiled widely. “ hearing you say that gives me confidence to tell you that i really like you- ” she shot up, her cheeks painted with the hues of red.

MC smiled, closing in on jaehee to give her a chasté kiss on the lips. “ i hoped so. ”

707

with an assignment due ending tomorrow, saeyoung had a rough time deciding whether he should spend his night hours surfing through the internet or continuing his work.

the answer was obvious when it came to saeyoung, he could finish the essay easily before handing it in but he could never see the hundreds of posts waiting for him again!

with a few clicks, he had opened his ig and continued to scroll through whatever he had on his feed, stopping and laughing at the silliest of memes.

after a while, he had stopped at a picture of the girl who captured his heroific heart, the one and only, MC.

he didn’t know whether it was her keeping up with his retarded jokes or be it her own dorky personality but he knew more than well that she had him hooked up and knotted around her little finger.

but, she wasn’t alone. along her was his teacher, vanderwood, hugging her tightly to his chest.

he couldn’t believe his eyes. vanderwood knew of his crush on the girl since the two were closest as friends rather than teacher and student.

he rushed to his text messages, about to write to his so-called-friend before realizing it would stirr problems. bros before hoes.. right?

but vanderwood broke the code first- well, he would talk to him tomorrow.

the sudden overwhelming atmosphere had saeyoung too frustrated to continue scrolling and so he decided he should finish that essay.

rushing into the teacher’s staffroom, he found vanderwood standing- but not alone.

there stood MC, smiling up at vanderwood as he rested his arm on her shoulder.

saeyoung grit his teeth, feeling sick at the mere sight. he wanted MC to be his for sure but if she was happier with vanderwood..

insecurities hit the redheaded like a truck. he felt himself shrink and a heavy weight was pushed onto his back.

“ oh! choi. ” the voice recognized as vanderwood’s had saeyoung look up at the teacher. “ hey, did you meet my cousin? ” he said and saeyoung’s eyes widened.

MC giggled, “ hello! godly 707, savior of the universe ! ” she grinned as she saluted him.

the silly gesture sent a smile on saeyoug’s face before confusion looked at vanderwood. “ what ? youre cousins ? ”

the two relatives nodded, “ today’s my birthday you dumbass, where’s my present? ” vanderwood crossed his arms.

collecting the fragements, saeyoung started to laugh loudly, shocked at the information he never knew.

saeyoung threw the assignment papers at vanderwood, before laughing more. “ savior of the universe 707 shall take his 606 and leave! ” he shot up, taking MC’s hand and rushing out of the staffroom.

school trips especially to the wonderful natural sightspots were one of the most favourite things to jihyun. the rustling of the win against the trees as the leaves fell far from their home was a pleasing sound to his ears.

his love for nature was undeniable indeed, but only one thing beat that passionate connection and it had to of course be the one person that enchanted him with her grace.

she stood beneath an apple tree outside the old manor they were visiting. her lonely figure attracted him to go downstairs and outside to see how more she could make him fall for her

yet as he went through the garden door, she was no longer in solitary as she stood next to a taller figure which jihyun could recognize immediately.

the teacher accompanying them had took the empty spot next to her and she smiled at him dearly.

envy rushed through jihyun’s veins and he cringed. was he too possessive? yes, excessively but what could he blame himself for? he was too attached ever since she had transferred to his class last year, when she had offered to help him in researching about the different species of animals and plants for his essay.

as the teacher left, jihyun sighed to himself in relief. he was about to enter as well before MC herself caught up to him, grinning. “ hey ji ! ”

he smiled back at her, emotions mixing up. her smile wanted to wash away the jealousy yet he had noticed how overly friendly MC was with that teacher when he was announced as their companion. as a matter of fact, she burst with happiness when she heard the news.

“ hello. ” he tried to reply with cheer tainting his voice but she of course, noticed the fake smile and damn her she had the audacity to ask what was wrong.

being the simple man he was, jihyun thought to himself that it would be better to have her ask but he brushed it aside, replying with a dry nothing, yet his facade was seen through.

MC hummed an alright before she started talking about different topics. jihyun listened to her ramble about the place and it’s beauty before- “ even my brother liked it! ”

brother?

“ your brother is with us ? ” he said with surprise. the girl nodded and explained that the teacher accompanying them was actually her brother!

thanks to that information, jihyun felt at ease. the tightened feeling around his chest vanished almost immediately and a smile was set wide on his face. MC had noticed the change of heart and she had to address it. “ something wrong ? ”

jihyun laughed and explained his misunderstanding. “ you must really like me, huh? ” MC winked and let out multiple giggles as she saw the reddening of jihyun’s cheeks.

Unknown

surprisingly enough, the test was rather easy to answer for saeran, thanks to saeyoung’s hours of lecturing in order to make a powerful genius duo but the younger twin just couldn’t buy the whole ‘godly duo’ shit saeyoung was selling.

he hummed his way through the hallway as he looked for his companion which happened to be the deadly woman who caught his heart and ripped it out.

although he had yet to regain that heart, it didn’t really matter to him because he knows it’ll be safe with her.

with her completely out of sight, saeran presumed that she had already left the building and was somewhere outside.

his feet rushed him to the entrance of school and as he got closer, he saw her standing there with a gorgeous smile on her face. her face was flustered with the brightest of expression as her cheeks were painted with the darkest shade of blushing red.

with his lips tugging up in happiness as butterflies started to tug at his heartstrings, he hurriedly jogged towards her- but he realized, she wasn’t alone.

it was that damned teacher,

the teacher that pissed off saeran the most. he always pushed himself on MC and what made saeran feel worse about him was that MC happily accepted it.

the thought pissed him off and to see MC smile at him so dearly made the student burn with jealousy tainting his every inch.

as that teacher left MC’s side and headed back inside, saeran rushed into a corner that wasn’t quite visible to where his bestfriend stood.

the moment the teacher had passed by saeran, he caught a grip of his arm and pulled him in, staring deadly into his eyes.

naturally, the teacher was shocked to say the least as he looked up at the student, “ i’ll say it nicely, you have zero chanced with MC. you’re too wacky and you have a horrible taste in those.. ” saeran looked up and down at the teacher, “ gosh, hideous. ”

as he let go of the teacher, he glared at him once more. “ you know we ain’t legal and she’s out of your league. ” he said once more as he walked away.

MC rushed towards saeran, eyes widened. he looked at her in utter confusion, waiting for her to say something. “ did you call my brother hideous ? ”

i fucked up

the gal started to giggle suddenly, “ you really got him ! ” she said, trying to breathe in as much air as she could, “ i never saw him so surprised! he really likes you. ” with a grin on her face, she reached up to kiss saeran’s cheek.

“ and i do too ! ”

Do you have any self care tips? I have felt so low these past few weeks and I don't know what to do, I don't want to stay in because I don't have a lot of space or freedom at home, I can't freely nap or watch things on my laptop, I can't even open the windows because they're painted shut. I really don't want to go outside because I can't stand being around loads of people or loud noise and so I don't know what to do or where to go to deal with it

ah man i feel for you, that sucks so much. i relate quite a bit cos sometimes going outside just feels like something completely out of the realms of my capability but i live in a tiny flat and then sometimes staying in feels really constricting & suffocating. this sounds so cliche and neurotypical karen but honestly just making ur space as nice as you can by cleaning up really does help u feel a little better and accomplished. like u dont have to deep clean or anything like that but just stuff like hanging up clothes u left on the floor or doing some dishes or moving clutter of your desk can do wonders. i find that listening to music whilst doing it is such a good way of motivating urself and making it less of a task. and speaking of music i always find that making playlists is a good way to feel a bit focused and productive, like just think of a certain mood or theme and curate songs u like into a playlist that fits it. and then if you feel like you can, go for a walk with ur headphones in and listen to it. that way you dont have to be around a load of people or deal with loud noises because its just you by yourself and your fave songs. for me sort of forcing myself to go outside even for just a little bit and do something(tm) really helps with my mood. like even if its just walking 10 mins down the road to get some fresh fruit & veg or something, it might feel like nothing but it gets u up and feeling like a real person. you could even try like, finding a local library and just going and sitting there for half an hour or so and reading or even plugging your laptop & headphones in and watching netflix or something there for a bit so you can get some peace and quiet. or even finding a coffee shop that doesnt get busy and has comfy sofas and wifi. theres a starbucks near me thats really massive and theres hardly ever anyone in it so i like to just go and sit in there with my laptop for a few hours and do some writing and i always feel really achieved afterwards. i’m not sure what else to suggest i think the best advice i can offer u is just to be patient with yourself and to allow yourself time to just....feel low and know that it’ll pass eventually. like its alright you’re allowed to feel like shit and its not something u need to beat urself up about, but there are little small steps u can take to help u feel better and even just doing one small nice thing for yourself a day is a good place to start. its okay to feel bad(tm) but u deserve to be happy and to feel ok and its important to remember that i think. hope youre good & that this helped a lil bit. love u 💖
