☆*°☆*°☆ throwing together a big plotting dump for the annual winter market together, because i know if i don’t have a place for everything, my brain will turn to goo. sO below will be a list of what my dummies will be up to throughout the market, who’s going to be into it, who’s not, who’s running stalls or not! it’s a one stop shop for all plotting needs with maig’s crew! (starter call coming some time post spam c: ) but throw a like on here and i’ll hit you up on discord ♥

✴ - next to the name indicates they are open for romantic plots

daniela dimitrescu || resident evil : village ✴

she/they pronouns , aware. this seems so silly to them, not going to lie. like what is the point of being outside! in the cold! absolutely not. will more likely than not skip this whole shindig. she can’t afford to be caught out in the cold like this, not when they’ve spent sm time bullying ethan lmao

leia organa || star wars

she/her pronouns , aware. any event that leia didn’t throw, seems like a great one in her opinion. and especially after the disaster that was the halloween gala, she is happy to just play it safe, lay low, enjoy a little bit of the holiday vibe. she’s sure that her family will not be having a christmas/life day with her involved and she’s happy to just steer clear of that whole situation rn.

marlene mckinnon || harry potter : marauders era

she/her pronouns , aware. definitely going to be spending a lot of time in the snowball fights, will probably be vibing by the live music and getting last minute christmas presents because lord knows she has not started even thinking about presents yet. so if you know her do not look at what’s in her bags while she’s at the different shops. also you cannot make her ice skate no matter how much you bribe her thank you that seems like a death trap. will drag people to that ice bar, that seems way more her speed.

omega archeron || star wars : the bad batch ✴

she/they pronouns , aware. omega is still v much a kid at heart sometimes and will absolutely be thrilled about christmas. despite everything that has been happening in their life lately, they want to force some holiday cheer into their body. she is going to be dragging people to get pictures with santa, either santa that is. will be building snowmen and participating in the snowball fight, doing the polar plunge. all around just here to enjoy all of the festival/market so if you need someone to either vibe with or bring drag your ba humbug character around, hit them up.

pj halliwell || charmed ‘98

she/her pronouns , aware. pj absolutely adores christmas too. she will probably be living at the hot chocolate stand and getting too worked up trying to win the snowball fight. will be offering her services as a judge for the snowmen and also trying to promote her party planning business where she can. honestly just a girl out here trying to have a cute hallmark moment and will be down to share that spirit

rosemary winters || resident evil : village ✴

she/they pronouns , unaware. this seems super cute, and while rose isn’t a huge family holiday person, they are definitely going to be enjoying some of the things that the market has to offer. the snowball fight looks fun, so do the bonfires. will very much just be wandering around, looking for something fun to do so she doesn’t feel like she’s missed out on the holiday season completely. happy to hang out with any other loners who want to pretend they’re Not That during the holidays.

rowena ravenclaw || harry potter : founders era

she/her pronouns , aware. this seemed very sweet, so she’ll be exploring a little, finding some nice presents for her friends and family. some of it is a little bitter sweet for her, considering what happened at the gala, but she’s looking to make the most of it. will happily join in the reindeer games if you push her outside of her comfort zone a little. she just needs the smallest nudge, though there is no way she’ll be making

sella palpatine || star wars

she/her pronouns , aware. the last market was super fun for sella, so she’s very excited to see what else has been added since then! she has found she really loves this time of year, and it looking to make the most of it. her big romantic moments keep getting cut short by disasters, so she’s hoping for a christmas romance moment and having a grand ol’ time, okay! thank you! she will be pretty much every but the polar plunge, that looks painful.

sofia ambrosini || goncharov (1973)

she/her pronouns , aware. sofia is still getting used to this city as a whole, and honestly, will think this is a little cheesy, a little lame. she’s not a big holiday person. she has bigger things going on, but she’ll be wandering around a little, trying to blend in. what more can she really do? if she’s going to be stuck here, it’s best that she doesn’t draw too much attention to herself and gets comfortable here.

sophie hatter || howl’s moving castle

she/they pronouns , surprise aware. they will have a stall set up for their flower/hat shop, and told themselves that they’d spent a fair amount of time manning it, though, they know that’s a lie. their memories have started to return, thanks to the nightmares that never seemed to cease, despite all this time. and sophie will spending plenty of time trying to find her husband and son, now that she remembers everything. once they’ve reunited, she’s happy to enjoy some of the festivities!

tatum riley || scream ‘96

she/her pronouns , aware. would love a singular break, please and thank you! christmas is a safe holiday, so she will be having a good time, avoiding all of the drama from home. she has her eyes set on these sled races, and that ice bar, and will be having a great time taking photos with sexy santa!! please come have a great time with her !!

victoria sutherland || twilight

she/her pronouns , aware. more people just vibing in all one place, again. girl is really sitting here like “merry christmas to me”. but truly vic actually likes this time of year and will be having some genuine fun, letting herself not be the villain for once and just being herself, looking at some stalls, maybe ice skating or ya know, being a little bit of the drama and hanging out in the crowds, looking for her own bite to eat. you never know. if that’s a vibe for you though, uhhh, vampires gotta eat too and the hot chocolate just doesn’t sit well with her.

btw if someone's doing something toxic for attention, do not give them that attention like at all.

sometimes i feel like people just believe anyone on this site as long as the post has enough notes and i remember seeing a post about "if theyre doing something bad for attention ill give them that attention" and it gave MAJOR "i can fix them" vibes.

idk who needs to hear this rn but you cannot fix them. im not saying it to be a downer or anything, its true. you will literally only fuel a fire that will spread to other places and burn more shit down.

they're going to believe that now that they have your attention, they can start harming more people and get attention from them too. its not a case of "i'll endure it for everybody" thats not how this works. they're GOING to cause more damage to the people around them. its inevitable.

it doesn't matter how bad their background was. if they're doing it completely unaware, then sure, try to help them, not fix them. help them. but if they do it on purpose, don't stick around. because they know what they're doing and the damage it will cause. and they want that damage.

please do not adopt that "i can fix them" or "ill be the hero" mindset. it wont work. just cut them off and let them go. do not give them the satisfaction they want.

#just in case somebody needs it

i found out a gay bar near me has a weekly goth night im pogged to hell and really hope i can go, but i've never really been to a bar, do you have any like tips or expectations?

ohhh HELL yeah I love this for u, that's such an exciting discovery!

this is gonna be long since you're fully new to this so I want to be thorough & I'm on adderall rn so, lol. this is a full essay past the cut, hopefully that's fine cause I can't help it!

I think the main thing to keep in mind is every bar's atmosphere and function is different, and even within the same bar the atmosphere can change depending on the day/time. I'd see if u can find any reviews of this specific bar, like on any local community groups ur city may have, subreddits, etc. if nothing else, yelp should give u a general idea (though yelp reviews always skew negative!). in these reviews look for comments on how safe it is ofc, but also things like staff friendliness, how busy it gets, the general upkeep/care of the experience's quality, see if u can find info on how friendly they are towards/if they're populated by any marginalized identities you may have, and lastly see if u can find the age demographic!!!! even if u've already decided on going, it's still good to have specifically tailored expectations ahead of time, rather than blanket statements.

this is gen so important cause I can literally give u a good example & bad example rn. for context (as local culture fully affects the "standard" you can/should expect) I live in a college-town city, which means we have a high-density urban environment + an additional influx of students (ie newly independent teens/young people) + a frequent laid back, have fun and party kinda vibe.

good example: we have a goth club/bar downtown on a nightlife street, sandwiched between other clubs and bars, in a highly populated recreational district. this is the club I frequent and is genuinely a mix of all ages from college teens to old people. it's blatantly minority friendly, especially towards LGBT identities, and has rules in place ensuring patron safety/comfort, even for "minor" issues like enforcing no photos/videos in case anyone doesn't want to be recorded! it's pro-fetish (doubles as a kink club), and often has biker gangs in it as well, which can be either a pro or a con (I find it fun personally) but I'm sure could be startling if ur unaware. the staff is very friendly and respectful, offers earplugs and drink recs at request, and in general there's a strong community feel due to the shared goth identity. it's not bougie, and for the area its in it's actually pretty cheap, but it's well kept and well managed, and therefor fun to go to! also a solid party/dance/music vibe ofc which is what I look for

bad example: we have a gay bar downtown, in a restaurant district, but it's the only place for a block or two open that late at night. the age demographic skews middle-aged, and is rarely frequented by young people at all. the staff is known to be cold, if not a lil rude (honestly, rights!), and the general vibe online seems to be that the place is past it's prime. still, I ignored these reviews and went and. yeah I was literally half the age of everyone else there other than the waiter. the vibe felt very "just sit down and eat something", and I got hit on by a very drunk 60 year old the whole time while the waiter seemed fully unconcerned and uninvested, both wrt the situation and also in general hdfghfg. I'm sure it's a good place for some people, but it's not for me so I have not been back since!

completely different experiences, within walking distance of each other, in the same city, and for the "same" lgbt demographics. but all this info was shit I could've seen (and did see!) ahead of time online <3 so all this to say there's no single bar experience, and u can take this ^ as ur realistic best-case worst-case scenarios to look out for!

as for actually going to the bar, once you know you want to try it out! check the website for things like dress code, age restriction, price (for both entry and food/drink). food/drink service is the kinda thing that just fully depends too btw. there may or may not be waitstaff, the "menu" could vary from just chips to a full dinner menu, you gotta feel it out. if the location has good upkeep, they should probably be carding you (for either drinks or for both drinks and entry) in which case make sure u have up-to-date and relevant(!) identification (the first time I attended the goth club, they wouldn't accept my out-of-state ID cause I was so young, so I had to leave and come back with a federal-assigned passport. but now that I "look" more like an 18+ y/o, my ID alone is fine as a formality).

make sure you have a SOLID plan ahead of time with how to get there and back. including researching the districts/neighborhoods that are between you and the bar itself. the only time I've ever felt unsafe going to the goth club, it's been the times I walked home thru the economical district which empties out after sundown and gets a bit skeevy, or even on the street outside the club itself where there's just a fuck ton of intoxicated people on all the sidewalks -- the majority of whom are not from the same bar or scene as me. ironically, I actually felt extremely safe going to/from the aforementioned gay bar, as the empty restaurant district is extremely safe at night; the only people there are people walking from the occasional bars/late night restaurants (like me!) or dog walkers from the residential district next-door. and then ofc, if ur walking make sure ur ok to walk (u need to be aware of ur surroundings even after u've familiarized urself with the experience), if ur driving make sure ur 100% sober or have a designated driver (for real. even one drink is enough to mess with ur ability to handle large machinery like that, esp at night when it's dark). check public transport schedules ahead of time, and make sure u HAVE money for public transport in the first place (or an uber if that's the option you have!).

side tangent: can not tell u how scary it was the time I was at a club back in new york, in an unfamiliar part of the city, no where near my apartment, and wouldn't you know it both ticket machines for the two subway stops near me were broken on my way home.... and ofc I had no money left on my card cause I just Assumed they'd be fine ahead of time. don't assume like that! especially not if u plan to drink/do drugs! I was completely sober during this too but it was like 2 am and I was alone in the middle of nowhere! without any knowledge of the area's vibes I had to just pray there wasn't any security this late as I hopped the barriers lol (and there wasn't luckily <3 always watch for cops in the nyc subway btw they're awful and will hide to catch people)

uhmmm and I Think that's it I have to say besides the usual advice! going in groups to keep track of each other is always the safest thing to do, especially for new places, tho, I will say it's not fully necessary imo as I almost always go alone and obv I'm fine. have a plan for if things do go wrong tho! self defense keychains, a number to call, or telling a friend where you're going and for how long are all good measures to take. doubt this is relevant to u but jic I recommend against bringing a gun tho, and only bring a knife or pepper spray if u have some amount of training AND practice. (general weapon safety rule: do not have anything on ur person ur not both well-versed in under pressure and prepared to have used against urself in a worst-case scenario)

if you drink, know your limits and stick to them, and don't ever leave your glass unattended. they might try to start you on a tab, make sure that's something you're comfortable with before just accepting out of pressure. don't do any recreational drugs until you've gone a few times and know you're comfortable with the venue (and that the vibe is right for it in the first place!). don't ever accept drugs from strangers, even if it's a drug you're usually good with, even if the stranger has good intentions. you just can't know the source or what's in it for sure. limit how much stuff you bring with you. just the essentials in your pockets is ideal, a bag you can strap to yourself is also good. if the coat-check is unstaffed, you might want to carry it with u at least for ur first visit. be aware of who and what is around you at all times!

and if u ever get a bad feeling about something, or otherwise become uncomfortable: LEAVE! if it sucks shit, hit the bricks! it doesn't even mean ur "giving up on" the place or even had a bad time overall, you can always come back a different day and try again. if u really don't want to leave for the night, stepping outside to get some fresh air for a few minutes is usually an option too. don't be afraid to say no to anyone and don't be afraid to be "rude" if it means getting someone - even a nice person - to leave you alone!

and that's about it I have to say dhjfgjfdgf hopefully this is useful and good information, and not too overwhelming! and hopefully it doesn't make the experience sound like a chore -- it won't be. even on my worst nights I've always had fun going to bars. I've never encountered any fights or violence or anything, and always have so much fun getting all dressed up just to hang out in a cool space! wishing u so much luck and I hope u have a great time!

Okay,, but for comedic purposes I need kylo and phasma being hux's besties and finding out about him having a crush on someone idk and them just trying to make them be together?? Ik it doesn't fit with star wars Canon but I'm mad at it rn so what's Canon?

Okay, this gave me some agressive college AU vibes, and I just kind of ran with it. Hope that’s okay with you, friend! Also, this is so freaking long for a drabble and I’m not sorry at all 😂

Phasma kicks his chair for the third time that night, and Hux looks at her, glaring. It’s annoyed him every time, but it annoys him even more that she’s had to; he should have more self-control than this.

“Stop staring,” she says under her breath, “it’s freaking me out.” Hux risks a glance in your direction, wondering if you’ve noticed this interaction but you stay blissfully unaware, laughing again at something Mitaka’s said to you, and Hux’s frown deepens.

“I’m not doing it on purpose,” he says bitingly, but she only smirks at him.

Ren plops down in the seat next to him, returning from his third trip through the line, his plate stacked high with an appalling amount of food. “Was he staring again?”

Phasma nods, and Hux flushes red, glaring at the both of them, “why do I even bother sitting with you when I get this kind of abuse?” Both of them snicker, and Hux rolls his eyes.

“Well,” Ren says, leaning over him and gesturing in your direction with his fork, “you could always go sit over there.” He raises his eyebrows to emphasize his point, and Phasma laughs loud enough to draw attention from some of the nearby tables. Hux forces Ren’s arm down, hoping no one will notice the table he had been pointing to.

“Honestly, Hux,” Ren pulls his hand back, stabbing a spear of broccoli off his plate, “I don’t see why you can’t just go over there and talk to her.”

“Really? You can’t understand why that’s not possible?” He feels sick just thinking about it, walking through the motions in his head. There was very little that frightened Hux, but letting himself even think about speaking to you in any context beyond academic left his knees weak, and Ren had already witnessed plenty of failed interactions to know this.

“Oh, right,” he shrugs his shoulders and takes a bite of a doughnut before taking a long drink of coke without swallowing first. Hux rolls his eyes.

“Well,” Phasma slams her palms to the table, before standing, “you might not be able to talk to her, but I can.” She’s out of her seat before Hux can even process her words, working her way through the crowded dining hall over to your table.

“Oh, fuck,” Hux slams his head to the table before turning to face Ren, his back towards you and the inevitable train-wreck. “What are they saying?”

Ren peers over the crowd in your direction, squinting, “I don’t know, but whatever Phasma’s telling her, she’s definitely in to it.”

“Really?” Hux sits up a little, chancing a glance your way.

“Definitely,” Ren nods sagely. As uncanny as it could be, Hux trusted Ren’s intuition on this kind of thing—he had a strange knack for reading people.

Emboldened by Ren’s verdict, Hux turns to watch the rest of the conversation unfold. Phasma is animated, as she leans over the table you’re sitting at with your friends, and you’re smiling up at her, a faint trace of laughter on your lips.

Phasma points to him as she speaks, and you follow the line of her arm, your eyes landing on him and they stay there, curious. Hux can feel his ears grow warm, and he resists the urge to bury his face in his arms, instead offering a half-hearted wave. You smile in earnest.

“Shit,” Hux says, looking down at the table with laser-like focus, “they’re coming this way.”

“Then I’ll take that as my cue to leave,” Ren gathers his now-empty tray, kicking the chair back under the table.

“Wait,” Hux cries, his heart threatening to leap right out of his chest, “what am I even supposed to say to her?”

“Just don’t be weird,” he says without a backwards glance, and Hux is left at the table alone.

“Hey, Armitage,” he recognizes your voice, and his heart stutters as if it’s threatening to fail completely. With an incredible amount of effort, he forces himself to turn around. You’re by yourself, standing at the edge of the table. Phasma is nowhere to be found.

“Hey,” he replies, cringing inwardly. He had meant to sound cool and aloof, but the word comes out glacial, and your smile fractures the tiniest bit. Out of the corner of his eye, Hux finds Phasma and Ren watching him from the door, and Ren holds his face in both hands, shaking his head. This is not going well.

“Uh, I just came over here because Phasma said you had a question about the project for Professor Snoke’s class, but if now’s not a good time . . .” the rest of your sentence drifts off as you pull your bottom lip between your teeth and Hux feels like he’s about to suffer from a fucking aneurysm.

“It isn’t a good time, actually,” he says, and you look as if he’s slapped you; even from the other end of the dining hall he can see Ren losing his mind, “but I was wondering, I mean—if you’re not busy tomorrow, of course—if you don’t already have plans-”

“Maybe we could go over it in the library?” you offer, tentative, and Hux is overcome with relief.

“7 o’ clock?” He asks, and you nod, bouncing on the balls of your feet.

“It’s a date,” you agree, waving good bye as you walk back to your table, and Hux leans back in his chair, dumbfounded. He’s got a date.

✨☕️✨ cozy time ✨☕️✨

ive compiled my flower list for the broken flower piece and i think im falling in love with this boys vibes

ive decided his name is Adonis Wright and he was made by an artist ala Pygmalion and Galatea. he was everything his creator wanted, devoted, loyal, beutiful, silent, blank, unaware of how the world works and completely dependent on the artist

but when he started to become his own person, breaking away from what his creator wanted him to be he was discarded. the artist made an attempt to destroy him so that the artist could try again, but Adonis fought back and killed his creator.

i dont have a lot else rn but im digging the vibes of the muse getting blood under his nails.

#ive also decided that adonis is mute #and he'd struggle a lot until he found somewhere to call home #maybe a tinkier takes him in #someone kind and willing to help fix his cracks #and maybe adonis becomes an artist in his own right

mother tongue [Kiro MLQC]

Pairing: Kiro x Female!Reader

Warnings: cursing probably

A/N: Hi i can actually write fluff i guess?? (( song insp- mother tongue by BMTH)) also, took some liberty with his Evol since I’m not entirely sure how it works. For angst purposes, I like to think sometimes he can’t fully control it, or high emotions can trigger it. Also, not aiming to be perfect on the first meeting thing. On top of that, I’m aware the end of Ch.8 suggests Kiro has known MC mayhaps but uhmm, don’t feel like dealing with that rn. whoop.

“I ᴅɪᴅɴ’ᴛ sᴇᴇ ɪᴛ ᴄᴏᴍɪɴɢ, ʙᴜᴛ I ɴᴇᴠᴇʀ ʀᴇᴀʟʟʏ ʜᴀᴅ ᴍᴜᴄʜ ғᴀɪᴛʜ, ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴜɴɪᴠᴇʀsᴇ’s ᴍᴀɢɪᴄ..”

Those three words were screamed his way constantly since he’d started to pick up in his career. That’s not to say he didn’t like it. He loved that he even had fans, people who liked his work and supported it. It was an insanely busy job, and at times he could maybe regret it, but only because he couldn’t just go out and do something like any normal person.

Can’t have your cake and eat it too, right?

Kiro enjoyed the love, but didn’t let it get to his head. The love mostly came to him because of his Evol. Of course, it came in handy, but it could also have someone just instantly ‘loving’ him, without him really trying for that. It’s sometimes jarring, having complete strangers saying they love you, without them really knowing who you are as a person.

There was no one that really knew him for him, knew him for all he was. Just fans, obsessed with the idea of loving a pop star and dating him. So, slowly but surely, he was sure no one would truly get close enough to really know him. Everyone just straight up loved him off the bat, They’d freak out and then swarms of people would follow suit. He told himself he was okay with it.

“’Tɪʟʟ ɪᴛ ᴘᴜʟʟᴇᴅ ᴜs ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴛɪᴍᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ᴘʟᴀᴄᴇ, ᴀɴᴅ I’ʟʟ ɴᴇᴠᴇʀ ғᴏʀɢᴇᴛ.”

The last place he expected to meet you, was a grocery store. Right in the chip isle, where you grabbed the last bag of his favorite chips. He noticed the all too familiar look of recognition in your eyes, and waited with baited breath for you to just absolutely lose your shit. You didn’t though- you just smiled, opened your mouth and-

“Oh- you’re K-”

He hadn’t meant to, but his hand flew out, covering your mouth, “Shh. Someone might hear you.”

You nodded firmly, moving his hand as you whispered, “Right, sorry.”

There was a pause, mostly due his own inner shock, but the you spoke up.

“Were you trying to get these chips?”

“Uh, yeah.”, he’d replied, and so began the start of all of this. The one little miracle he’d been wishing for. Someone that could get close, someone that saw beyond the fame. Someone his Evol didn’t work on.

“I ᴋɴᴏᴡ ʏᴏᴜ ᴋɴᴏᴡ ᴍᴇ, ʏᴏᴜ ᴅᴏɴ’ᴛ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴛᴏ sʜᴏᴡ ᴍᴇ. I ғᴇᴇʟ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʟᴏɴᴇʟʏ, ɴᴏ ɴᴇᴇᴅ ᴛᴏ ᴇxᴘʟᴀɪɴ.”

You’d earned yourself the lovely name of Miss Chips. Day by day, Kiro learned of more to just adore about you. You were a hard worker- you were sweet- you cared about him just because. There was no ulterior motive. You weren’t seeking to gain fame or clout or whatever. You just liked being around him and he loved that. He began to love you, and he didn’t want to use that word so freely like everyone else did. He wanted it to still holding it’s meaning- still have a big impact when, if he ever, said it to you.

“I really wish I could see you more, it sucks we’re both so busy.”, you say, a little pout on your face.

“I know..”, he says, baby blues not lifting from you. “I wish I could just take you everywhere with me. I’d have so much more fun.”

The grin that splits across your face at his silly idea has his heart soaring, “That wouldn’t work at all, but it is fun to think about. I’ll just hide in one of your ridiculously big suitcases and sneak through security.”

He laughs at that, “Right? I’m sorry, Sir. She’s my emotional support human.”

The laugh that bursts from you is so joyous and lovely. He saves it into the deepest parts of his memory, where it will remain whenever he needs it. It’s a lovely and long laugh, coming from somewhere deep within you. He loves that he was the one to get it out of you.

“Oh man..”, you say, wiping at your eyes, “That wasn’t that funny but- I could just picture you saying that, I couldn’t help myself.”

You heave a sigh and continue, “Honestly if I could, I’d go with you. I dunno.. just.. I like being around you.”

You say it so softly, so unapologetically. It makes him so warm and fuzzy.

“I feel the same..”, he replies, warmth oozing in his tone, “I’d go anywhere with you..”

The look you give him says you agree, but it also looks a little scared. Nervous. He knows why. Fallings not easy, it never was, and it never has been.

“Sᴏ ᴅᴏɴ’ᴛ sᴀʏ ʏᴏᴜ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ᴍᴇ ғᴀʟᴀ ᴀᴍᴏ, ᴊᴜsᴛ ʟᴇᴛ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʜᴇᴀʀᴛ sᴘᴇᴀᴋ ᴜᴘ ᴀɴᴅ I’ʟʟ ᴋɴᴏᴡ.”

It was spring. Flowers were blooming, sunshowers were common. The weather was almost perfect, save for some humidity and scattered showers. You wore a cozy and lovely sundress. The color went well with your skintone, making you pop amongst all the flowers around you. You’d come with him to a photoshoot, watching the photographers at work with him. However, you were blissfully unaware of him sneaking his own photos.

They were lovely, and he’d be sure to show you later. The wind blew at your hair and dress- the flowers surrounded you so well- your face was practically beaming in the sunlight. Gorgeous.

“Kiro!”, you whisper-shout, pulling him into a secluded area.

He’s confused, yet also flustered. Hidden in between set props and other things, you were both pressed chest to chest. You put a finger to your lips, waiting on someone to pass.

“You deserve a break.. I heard about some..”

Your voice trailed off in his head, he heard you, but not what you were saying. Somehow you’d noticed his fatigue from afar. Saw how his smile didn’t get quite as big as usual, and that thought had him feeling like he was on cloud nine. Even more so at your tone. He knew you well.

He knew those words you wanted to say..

“Nᴏ ᴀᴍᴏᴜɴᴛ ᴏғ ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴄᴀɴ ᴇᴠᴇʀ ғɪɴᴅ ᴀ ᴡᴀʏ, ᴛᴏ ᴍᴀᴋᴇ sᴇɴsᴇ ᴏғ ᴛʜɪs, sᴏ I ᴡᴀɴɴᴀ ʜᴇᴀʀ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴍᴏᴛʜᴇʀ ᴛᴏɴɢᴜᴇ.”

You took him to some ice cream parlor. It had a variety of flavors and treats. The place was pretty empty, considering most people were swarmed around his set, trying to sneak a peek of his photoshoot. He’s not quite sure how you managed to sneak him out, but he won’t question it.

“Oo, Ki- oh uhm.. I mean, come look at these, Mister Chips.”

His heart jumped in his chest, where’d that come from, “Looks lovely, Miss Chips. Wanna go half with me?”

You grin, “Absolutely.”

He smiles back at you, “So. Now it’s Miss Chips and Mister Chips?”

You nod, turning from him so he can’t see the flush of your cheeks, “Yeah, I mean, can’t be Misses just yet.”

“Right.”, he replies, voice a little shaky. He’d give the world for a Misses Chips..

Your little moment is interrupted by the cashier, “How cute! How long have you two been together?”

For once, Kiro is at a loss for words. He’s not sure how to respond. Saying no could just ruin what’s begun to establish- but saying yes doesn’t seem right. There was no official say in anything. He was sure you were more than a friend to him but.. he wasn’t sure if you were quite his girlfriend just yet-

“We’ve known each other for a while.”, you say, “But we kinda just started, you know?”

This time you look at him, eyes searching his for something, though he’s not sure what. He wasn’t sure if you were just talking on the fly to get attention off him in his ill-made disguise, or if you meant it.

You looked pleased when he agrees though. Something in your eyes flickers ever so slightly, and he swears he sees your cheeks flush-

“That’s sweet. Your order will be ready in just a second, you can have a seat while it’s made.”

“I ғᴇᴇʟ sɪᴄᴋ ʙᴜᴛ I·ᴍ ʙᴜᴢᴢɪɴɢ, ᴏʜ ʟᴏᴠᴇ I’ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʀᴏᴜʙʟᴇ. I·ᴍ sᴏʀʀʏ, ʙᴜᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ɢᴏᴛ ᴍᴇ ɢᴜsʜɪɴɢ ᴀʟʟ ᴏᴠᴇʀ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘʟᴀᴄᴇ, ᴀɴᴅ I ᴅᴏɴ·ᴛ ᴡᴀɴɴᴀ ɢᴇᴛ ᴡᴇᴛ.”

Nothing was really said after that. The two of you ate in comfortable silence, nervously bumping hands once in a while. He couldn’t deny that he wanted to just take your hand and hold it over the table. he wanted to run his thumb across the top of your hand- feel your smooth skin under his. He wanted to lace his fingers with yours, see how your hand might fit in his. Before he could gain the courage, his phone went off, clattering against the table and ruining the serenity of the moment.

“...It’s my agent..”

“Oops..”, you say, “I guess we were out too long- he’s probably never going to let me come along with you again. Sorry-”

“No.”, he says, firmly, “I won’t let that happen. I wanted to come here with you, plus, I finished my work so, whats the harm? Right, Miss Chips?”

You laugh softly, “Right, Mister Chips.”

“Plus, I did say I’d go anywhere with you. It would be rude of me to go back on my word.”

There’s a soft look in your eyes. He’s sure he knows what it is, and the mere thought has his heart swelling in his chest. It fills him with warmth and fuzzy nerves.

“That is true.”, you say, tone soothing, yet somehow has his cheeks burning. “I’d go anywhere with you too.”

“Bᴜᴛ I ᴛʜɪɴᴋ ᴡᴇ ᴡᴇʀᴇ ᴄʜᴏsᴇɴ, ʟɪᴋᴇ, ᴏᴜʀ ғᴀᴛᴇs ᴡᴇʀᴇ ᴡᴏᴠᴇɴ..”

He got into a bit of trouble, but he’d do it a thousand times over if it meant to leading him here. It’s not a romantic spot- there’s no dim lit candles or rose petals. It’s not the scenery one dreams of, but is that what really matters? He could be out in a dingy park or up in an airplane, it didn’t matter. What mattered was the moment- the soft spoken words in the middle of a rainy night.

The air was cooler now that the sun had set, the rain added to the slight chill. The street corner store was empty, save for a cashier. Said cashier was tired and had not a single care for any type of customer service. Just get your little map and go was his overall vibe. Clearly, he did not like late night tourists.

Your laugh is exasperated, “How do we get lost and have our phones die? I swear I had mine fully charged.. oh, we’re so dead..”

“Yeah.”, he nods, using his arm to cover the map from getting wet, “..but, we did have some fun. I’d do all this again, no matter how much trouble I get in.”

You spare a glance at him, fighting a smile, “Kiro, we’re going to be in huge trouble- I can see your manager just losing his shit right now- he’s having a cow, I swear.”

“I’d still do it again.”, he says, tone softer.

This makes you tilt your head up from the map to look right at him. His blue eyes seem piercing. They bore right into your very soul, aiming to tell you something he’s kind of scared to. In this little moment, huddled together under the overhanging signs of a street corner store, he is very vulnerable. In this moment, ou could honestly just break him, but why would you? You’ve felt this way for so long, and to see him look at you like this, golden locks damp and just barely brushing your forehead- blue eyes asking a million questions, all for you. His face looks soft, free of the stress of his job, of the stress of wondering if he’ll be able to see you again after this. He’s looking at you, just as he is, baring his very soul to you with a look. So?

You smile, brightly, so wide your eyes crinkle.

“Kiro..”, you whisper, pressing closer, lips a breath away from his, “.. I love you.”

It was as if the floodgates opened. His eyes go wide, his jaw goes slack. Shock silences him and steals his breath as well as his sense of mind. He looks like a fish out of water, mouth opening and closing, fighting to respond. His reaction makes your smile widen. How powerful you must be, and yet are unaware. No one makes him speechless quite like you.

You shock him even further, placing the softest and sweetest kiss upon his waiting lips. he’d only dreamt of kissing you like a thousand times over. To have it be real? Insane.

Of course, he had to react to that, repaying in kind, baring his heart in any form he could. Sure, a kiss doesn’t show much, but when real and pure emotion is behind it? It does.

His laps capture yours, and his hand cradles the back of your head, fingers tangling in your hair. Breaths become raspy and ragged as your hands move up, one running through his hair while the other keeps your grounded by holding onto his shoulder. His lips are wet and cool from the rain, a direct contrast to the heat of his breath, which fanned over you when he stopped to breathe.

“I love you.”, he says, once, twice, three times over. He says it so breathlessly- says it with a shaky voice. The rain picks up, wind blowing it towards you both, and because of it, you can’t tell if the wet rolling down his cheeks are his own tears, or the weather. He kisses you again, pressing you closer, need and yearning swallowing him for a moment. His lips are hungry, breaths heavy against yours. His scent and taste fills your senses. The ice cream parlor still lingers on his tongue, and his soft words add to the sweetness of it. He smells of the rain and the grass he’d had to lay on earlier that day.

Your senses just scream out for more. You want him closer- you want nothing in the way, but such a greedy desire can’t be fed here, or so soon. Even when the heat of the moment simmers down a bit, you’re both still nose to nose. You pant along with him, eyes half-lidded as you gaze up at him. His eyes seem brighter, in a way you’d never seen before.

Want. Need, Love.

You swallow, parting your lips to speak, “.. I dropped the map.”

He raises a brow, and laughs a little, “Thats what you have to say now?”

You smile in return, “I’ve already said everything I needed to.”

“Mhm, but what if I didn’t hear everything I needed to?”

“You have a liftetime of opportunities to.”

Kiro smiles widely at that. He pulls you into a hug, burying his face into your neck, “Yeah. We do.”

You hug him tightly, not caring that the map continued to get wet on the ground. Ink running into the concrete, smudging.

There, in the rain, under signs of a dingy street corner store, he heard you. He held you and got to feel the love radiating from you in the tight embrace of a long over due hug. You’d have a little head cold in the morning, and he’d be whisked away for a two day shoot in a far away city, but he’d be back. Now he really wouldn’t go anywhere without you near. There was no reason to be separated and he made that known.

He’d heard your mother tongue, and you’d heard his..

“Aɴᴅ, ᴀʟʟ ᴏғ ᴛʜᴏsᴇ ʙᴀᴅ ᴄʜᴏɪᴄᴇs, ᴡᴇʀᴇ ʟᴇғᴛ ᴛᴜʀɴs ᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴀʏ..”

Thanks for the tag @flowrxchild, @satans-helper, all my love to you both x

What was the last thing you read?

if we’re being specific, I read @satans-helper post completely. low-key dude, you remind me of myself.

Favourite movie?

The Hobbit, I just watched all three the other day and my love for them was remembered.

Favourite book?

I AM DEATH by Chris Carter. It will forever be my favourite, I’ve never read anything as good as that book.

Dream date?

A walk through a forest, or to the beach. Anything that involves a good long drive, with good music.

Do you have a crush?

I do, and we’ve been on a few dates recently.

What are your hobbies?

Writing, painting, drawing, yoga, astrology, tarot, learning about everything that catches my eye - mostly butterflies, outer space, mythology of any kind. I can also never get enough of making things with my hands, sculpting, cooking, baking etc.

What’s your favourite time of day?

My usual wake up time, that my body has gotten used to, is 4-5am. So the early morning. I wake up and make coffee and breakfast, and watch the sunrise. When it’s nice and cool in the morning is my favourite.

If you could look like anything, what would you look like?

A flowy forest fairy type gal I guess, that’s what I’d aim for.

Are you romantic?

Yes and no, that to me - is complicated. I wish to be, and I can be if I really feel the need to, but my demeanour around people I love is often more friendly than romantic.

What’s your favourite type of weather?

Sunny, but with a cool breeze. I like to be able to wear things that cover my whole body, and not feel over-heated.

What do you like talking about?

Astrology, I would talk about it all the time if I could, but the people around me aren’t so keen on hearing about it all. Also, music, like the blues and rock n roll, I love when someone can return my enthusiasm about Muddy Waters, The Kings, Jimi Hendrix or Stevie Ray Vaughan.

What are your turn ons?

Someone who will roll with my ramblings; make sense out of nonsense; try something they’ve never done; mother nature’s child; understanding and supportive; a little wild and a little crazy; considerate; a good heart.

Turn offs?

Over-confidence, selfishness, dishonest, disloyal. Doesn’t take any advice. This is a specific thing, but if in a conversation I am the only one asking the questions.

If you got a tattoo what would it be and where would you get it?

Oh, I want many. I want a triangle on my right shoulder, covered in flowers and vines, with my mother, grandmother, and sister’s name at each corner. I also would like to get a protection sigil tattooed on the space between my thumb and pointer finger.

but that’s for when I have money.

Do you have any pets?

A small dog named Wesley, I love him a lot.

Dream job?

Designing album covers or just being an artist. An author, or a professor of Creative Writing, I would like to be a lecturer one day.

Dream place to live?

I would like to build my own place, by a lake in the woods, with a couple of dogs, maybe some chickens. Cabin or cottage vibes throughout the whole house.

Dream vacation?

I want to travel Canada, and go see all the lakes and forests. Portugal is also on my list. ( @livewiredroger )

Just the two in my earlobes. I wanna get my septum and line a few up my ears however.

If you had kids, what would you name them?

Ophelia and Titan are the only names I’m sure of at the moment.

What are your best traits?

I am straightforward when I need to be. I believe I am kind, and I do my best to live up to that belief every day. I will talk about anything and everything. I think a lot.

Worst traits?

I often get tired and irritable, which makes it easy for me to snap at people or sound uninterested in conversation. I’m in the process of learning how to still be kind no matter what mood I am in. I am unaware of how much I ramble on sometimes.

What’s your worst fear?

Loss of my sight.

What do you want to eat right now?

Uhm, nothing really. Chicken and spinach maybe? I just ate so I have no idea what my body wants.

What’s your best vacation you’ve ever been on?

Every year I go to Sydney for Christmas, to see my grandparents and other family. Each year seems to be better than the last, so I’m not to sure which is my favourite.

Tumblr.

Favourite article of clothing?

My long hippie skirt that I wear whenever I get the chance. It’s gorgeous and I’m in love with it.

Favourite meal of the day?

Lunch.

Christmas! I can’t wait to see my family, go to the beach everyday and enjoy summer once again.

I’m not really sure, there isn’t anything that makes me feel awful at the moment.

When was the last time you cried?

Last night, my head was hurting as well as my throat and I couldn’t talk at all.

Dream house?

One that I built myself.

What’s something you hate about the world?

Selfish people, selfish things, selfish minds. Being the kindest you can be, no matter how awful people are to you is the key to a happy life. My grandma told me, “Kind, but stern. Just because you are kind, does not mean you are a doormat.” I hate how people take kindness for granted and see it as weakness.

What’s something you love about the world?

Love. I love, love. The feeling, the essence, the emotion, the spark of it. I love, love. @satans-helper is right, it’s magic.

What scents do you like?

Earth smells, or the smell of fire smoke. Patchouli and candles, essential oils. The smell of bread baking is my favourite. Or when you hug someone and they have an inviting smell, like their own personal relaxer. (I dunno how else to describe that lmao)

What kind of sleeper are you?

I will sleep for hours upon end, or just a few. it really depends on how I’m feeling, what mood I’m in.

Are you a cat or dog person?

Dogs. I am slightly afraid and slightly allergic to cats.

How long would you survive in a zombie apocalypse?

A while I think. I used to be obsessed with Zombies. When I was 10 I even made my own get away bag. I don’t have it any more, but I remember all that was in it. I also enjoy learning about herbal medicines and such, that would probably do me some good. I also have friends who are good at conflict, which would help. So an estimate of maybe 2-3 years? probably not, I don't really know lmao.

Are you trusting?

It takes me a while to trust people fully.

What fictional character do you identify with?

Mitch Kramer and Slater from Dazed and Confused. My sister said Young Goob from Meet The Robinsons, and Mallory from the Spiderwick Chronicles.

This is Goob btw.

Emotional, Straightforward, “mature for my age”.

What song would be your life anthem?

Afraid Of The Dark by The Frights

What issues are you dealing with rn?

My Iron, mental health, and a whole bunch of other shit that I’m not gonna get into.

How can someone win you over?

Match my level of crazy. Be awkward and stupid and wild with me.

What’s something about you people don’t know?

I have an interest in witchy things, most people in my life don’t have a clue.

On Conveying Personality Through Chatroom-style Dialogue

A friend of mine shared screenshots of a roleplay he was having via a Discord server, wherein the style was chatroom/texting based. Each character would have a different style of typing completely unique to their person. Though unfamiliar with all of them, I could see what their personalities were like

Like real human beings, a character very much so has a “voice”. I mean that both in the literal sense, through their manner of speaking and what they say, but also through their self expression, interests, and actions. This carries over into the digital realm in ways we may not even notice. Text messages may not be verbal, no, but there are ways to show inflection.

There are many, many ways to show meaning through text. Here are some that I’ve picked up and utilized with my own characters:

Sentence structure

all lowercase sentences VS Grammatically correct

Lowercase gives off the feeling of someone familiar with others or willing to become familiar. It lacks the tension of formal writing, complete with its capitalization and proper periods ending sentences, and feels very casual and approachable. It may also be a sign of someone who doesn’t care much about perfection, a lazy person, or an easy going individual. Seems like a lot of internet regulars prefer this kind of typing style.

“im dying

‘deafening horrorcore rap’ ok i listen to literal noise and idk what this even is”

Using a properly capitalized and punctuated style is very formal, like one would see in a book, an official email, etc. It’s more serious and stern than lowercase is and may imply an older, more mature person typing...or maybe just someone trapped on their phone at the mercy of autocorrect.

"I am always happy to see you, even if you are not feeling your best.“

“It's nice here.

Quiet.”

There’s a certain respectful steadiness to it as well. It can be calming to read at times.

Punctuation VS Lack of punctuation

End-stopped lines come with both a pause and a bit of a pointed and direct feeling. It strengthens both lowercase and grammatically correct styles, but in different ways. In conjunction with “proper” writing, it’s less noticeable, merely giving the reader a moment’s pause. In conjunction with lowercase, especially if the one typing isn’t keen on using periods, it can come off as stern, serious, passive-aggressive, or angry.

“whatever.

it's less excruciating than it would be without it.”

Removal of punctuation is a different story. Typically just shown with lowercase, it leaves it with that casual feeling intact, or like one’s sentences are more like quick thoughts or questions. Removing them from grammatically correct sentences does ease off some of the tension, implying someone with a more neutral-positive tone while still being more mature.

“I’m not terribly good with conversation”

And then there’s the run-on sentences from those who type small novels per response. Usually complete with multiple and’s. It’s a sign of nervousness, enthusiasm, or oftentimes a younger character...

“actually i don't know much about it i just happened to see something online and it's apparently only manufactured overseas exclusively for this one particular shop and they made the original design and initial product i guess”

Oof.

Proper spelling (or lack thereof)

The better the spelling, the more the likelihood of the person being older, calmer, or neutral. There’s also a sense of being well educated or careful about one’s typing. Perhaps a confident air may exude from what they say, too.

“Can you come help me for a moment?”

Those who make a lot of mistakes will simply confuse words for other words, forget apostrophes, or type too fast to notice things missing or in the wrong location. Some just don’t really care enough or are too tired to deal with it. Too much focus and people know what they mean anyway. Probably.

“i laug hso hard hes come runin

he thougt i aws dyin”

It can also happen in very emotional situations, in bouts of laughter, crying, rage, or when one is drowsy, medicated, or sick. It tends to stand out when one’s style is suddenly very, very different and tips others off to something being wrong.

Younger characters, especially kids, also make spelling mistakes all the time depending on their age, whether due to sounding out words or just in a hurry to reply.

Short sentence fragments, single words, and lengthy paragraphs

Sometimes people with rapid-fire thoughts, who are excited, busy, stressed, or angry, will take to quick and short responses (sometimes of many fragments in a row). These show a similar feeling as do lines of poetry. Stacking small fragments on top of one another adds emphasis. The reader has to read them one by one rather than as a straight sentence. On its own, the word or fragment stands out and becomes more important.

"well

yeah thats

what i was tryina do

but i mean”

I’ve seen it used used for storytelling from one person to another in larger chunks of things, quick responses, for poetic value, and in irritation or passive-aggressiveness.

In full sentence conversations sent in short bursts, it’s also allowing the reader pause to read each comment without it feeling like a novella. Though it can also feel like someone is obnoxious, rambling on and on as the notifications keep coming, or has a lot to talk about and keeps thinking of more.

Then there are those who type rather large responses all at once instead of hitting the enter key with every sentence:

"Whoever did it was quite thorough; either the power in that area of the lab was cut while we were distracted or they tampered with the security cameras, because that footage is missing. But, we have some theories now. It had to have been someone with direct access to the laboratory. I hesitate to place blame on any of my coworkers...they're all my trusted companions and friends! And yet...”

It’s concise and a solid, complete story in one spot. Could be someone who loves to talk, could be someone who didn’t want a response before they were done talking. It’s also commonly seen by middle-aged texters who want to say everything they can all at once.

Exclamation points and Question marks

Simple one here. Question mark for a question or confusion, exclamation point for emphasis or an exclamation. But when a person adds multiple to a sentence it can convey more of the person’s feelings;

“are you okay??”

Here is someone who is very concerned. Multiple question marks can imply things such as worry, stress, disbelief, and shock. There’s a sense of hurry and tension. Perhaps the person on the other end is frightened, easily afraid, or tends to have an overwhelming reaction to things.

“oh!!! it’s nice to see you!!!”

!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Meanwhile, multiple exclamation points convey much more friendlier, happier tones. Often such things as surprise, excitement, happiness, friendliness. Users typing !! as a punctuation (like I tend to do) may do it as an assurance or to show how thrilled they are to talk. Occasionally !!!! is tacked onto an angry statement to be more of a shout, but I see it less and less.

Chatspeak and Internet habits

Shortenings of words have been a regular thing for ages. It’s easy, convenient, and gets the point across quickly. But the internet has taken it to a new extreme, where sentences can be almost entirely compromised of them.

“wtf r u talkin abt?? gdi man idk wuts even happening rn”

A character wanting to be quick to respond, always on the ball, always involved, may be more likely to utilize and understand chatspeak. They’re the social butterfly of the group. It’s also a sign of a long-time internet lurker who’s aware of what the lingo is, and how to use it. A complete lack thereof points toward either an older user or someone who’s unused to social media.

The more memes, the harder someone is trying to fit in. Or maybe they’re easily amused or just absorbed things from their friends without thinking about it. The comedian of the group is going to know the best ways to use them.

Smilies and Emojis

:D D: :DDD // :3 3: >:3 :3c // :o :O O:<

These kinds of smilies have always struck me as the most friendly. Whether used in devious ways or with genuinely heartwarming intentions, the playful, lightheartedness of the user really shines through these.

"not a bad way to spend a lazy day :D”

“it's also my birthday :3″

It’s got just the right vibe to punctuate a sentence that’ll leave the reader feeling that the person likely means no harm or wants to be friendly, positive, or encouraging. I’ve met a lot of people that use these and turn out to be very kind or considerate people.

:), ;), ((((: and related

A long time positive, friendly smiley.

"You said you've known them a long time? I think they would understand. :)”

And yet these days I tend to associate it with passive aggressive statements, plotting, slyness, devious behavior, or anger. Older users may be inclined to use :) as a means to show their emotional state, but newer users seem more inclined to do the opposite. The more parentheses there are, the more upset the person, it seems.

“man don’t u love it when the power’s out in the middle of the night it’s just (((: really great thanks (((((:”

Then the ;) smiley comes off more specifically flirty and a bit playful. Doesn’t seem to change much there.

“if i find a good chance 2 hook u up ill do my best ;)”

The bane of my teenage existence. It’s a more old school sign of laughter, rarely seen in today’s world due to falling out of favor and becoming associated with, “LOL Rawr XD Tacos I’m So Randoom,” culture. But time to time you do see it. Mostly with sarcasm but sometimes with genuine intentions.

“xDddddDDD

It was a good joke. XD”

A character using it genuinely comes off more playful, and to me, personally, as an older person who’s genuinely unaware of the associations with the smiley itself trying to show how they laughed without using LOL.

Letter/Character smilies

Y’know, things like .w. and ._. or owo, where the letters or symbols make a face. These are fairly popular, it seems. I don’t like using them myself, but know a few who do use them.

"I'm sorry that they can be mean qmq”

It’s a different feel from the others. There’s something soft to it, almost a gentleness. When these or Japanese characters are used, there’s more whimsy. It’s cute and almost a bit feminine. It may convey an open person or give the impression that said person is easier to talk to.

Though honestly I can’t see uwu and owo as anything but heavily sarcastic. I’ll be honest with you.

Emojis

The first rule of Xurkitips club is that we don’t talk about Emoji Movie. Just putting that out there riiight now.

Used sparingly by most for fun and for emphasis. Characters may use them to be lighthearted, aesthetically, joke, or to make a conversation more flavorful. The use of emojis may determine a character’s personality; I find that characters who use hand emojis like 👌 are rather laid back, those who use 🙃 do it passive aggressively, and we all know what kind of person uses 🍆.

Then there’s what in common terms known as, “The DudeBro”:

[MFKNSTARBOI]: the thing i never undstood about hair is why people buy shampoo like regular soap not good enough for you LMAO 😂😂😂

[gostones]: .

[BIGDICKTOYOTA69]: what the fuck man

[ahogekun]: do... you not use shampoo

[MFKNSTARBOI]: aaaah you guys got sucked into big shampoo as well 😔

[MFKNSTARBOI]: When it comes to horses 🐎 the stars in the sky ✨ or just man to man no bullshit advice 👬 IM youre guy 😤😂

I think this one speaks for itself.
