A mutuals (<3) masterlist (aka: I rant about my mutuals for way too long)

Definitely follow of of these blogs because they are almost as amazing as the people that run them!! I have so many amazing mutuals but these are just the ones that I have talked to the most and for the longest, sorry if I missed you, know that I still love you the same <<33

@a-stitch-in-timey-wimey - PROBABLY MY BEST FRIEND ON HERE, SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL AND SO FUNNY AND I CAN TELL HER LITERALLY ANYTHING. She's such a babe, I met her through one of my posts I made agesssss ago (yeah that’s right, she’s and OG) where I was like "like and reblog this post if you like any of these fandoms and I'll dm you" and our friendship grew from there!! We both love Voltron, Klance and pasta and one of our first interactions and inside jokes was when she told me when she dropped toothpaste down her sock lol cause how do you even manage to do that (do you even remember that jess???) and idk it’s just such a fond memory even though it’s so random. I fucking live for when she rants/tells me stories on snapchat, I was actually watching one of her ‘storytime’ vids that she sent me and like 5 minutes into her story (when we were getting the climax!!) my phone died and now I’m stuck on this cliffhanger until my phone recharges (so imma write all this while I wait lol). She also didn’t murder me when I broke our 105 day streak (I”M SORRY) in fact she wasn’t even mad!! If that’s not the sign of a true goddess I don’t know what is! ALSO, she's SUPER pretty and inspired me to cut my hair, I'd been think about cutting my hair short(er) for a while and after she cut hers and I saw how pretty she looked, I thought I must do it I must be like Jess. I love her so much from the bottom of my heart and I'm so glad that we're friends <3

@galacticpandasstuff - JADEEEEEE MY SWEET BBY I HOPE YOU GET SOME SLEEP. I always love my deep chats with Jade, we've been mutuals for a while but didn't start talking until recently, we often talk in the afternoon for me and when it's like 4am for her. She def needs to sleep more but we all still love her anyway! Despite her not sleeping that much, she’s still drop dead gorgeous and handles tough situations like a fucking champ wtf, I wish I was even just half as strong as her. I’m very proud that my networking skills have really risen up to the challenge and have paid off because and I’ve connected Jade to a couple of my mutuals and they all love her nearly as much as I do!! She's always so kind to me and I'm sure she'll be kind to you too, she has a relatively small blog and it definitely should be bigger so highkey recommend giving her a follow and maybe even a dm too because she's v nice!!

@repetitive-tautology - JAMES OMG WHAT A FUNNY GUY HE’S AND ACTUAL LAD OMG. I actually love James so much and despite me always feeling inferior to his Top Notch (TM) wittiness and intellect, we manage to have an excellent friendship. We also met through that post I made (about liking certain fandoms and then I would dm you!!) but we never really ended up talking about any of the fandoms lol, our conversation (and friendship!!) just immediately took off. I absolutely love his blog and he's such a funny guy, I've met a lot of great mutuals and friends from him (vague crusade!!!). We unfortunately don’t talk as much as we used to (I’M SORRY BUT DISCORD REALLY SCARES ME, OKAY) and I hope that after this post is... posted it’ll prompt us to talk again! He's one of the actual OG's of my blog and played a vital role in my pasta brand becoming a thing! He also came up with funky spaghet and sinful noodle (if you remember those names lol). Anyway, if you're looking for a laugh, definitely hit him up and follow his blog!!

@raging-chaotic-bisexual - DFGHJKLLKJHGFDSDFGH SOHIE AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY!! Half of our interactions are are sdfghjkjgfd I love *insert something* so much dfghjhgfdedfgh. Yep, we use keysmashes arguably too much but I literally don’t even care. I can talk to Sophie about whatever I’m excited and no matter what the subject is, she’ll match my enthusiasm and that’s one of my favourite things about her. She’s excellent if you wanna talk about literally whatever you want and I feel as if she’d be an amazing hype woman. (also another one of my Australian bby’s!!)

@hudusello - Dakota is the motorbike bitch (well, more cars now lol) and a future lesbian biker gang member. I always feel hella stupid talking to Dakota cause shes got a shit ton of knowledge on pretty much all mechanical vehicles and before we met I knew approximately zero (0) things about cars and stuff and despite feeling like the inside of my skull feeling as empty as the middle of a balloon, I love learning all this cool new stuff that she teaches me! I love having a good old chat no matter the subject and Dakota is such an OG on my blog. Despite having lots of different interests, I’m really glad that we bonded over a few things that we have in common (like she-ra and minecraft!! [WHICH I WILL REDOWNLOAD SOON AHHHHH]) cause I really enjoy talking. So definitely follow Dakota cause once again, a relatively small blog and also great for a fun chat if you like cars and/or are willing to learn about them

@carry-on-wayward-birbs - I LOVE THIS DUDE OML WE ALWAYS CHAT ABOUT WHERE THEY’RE UP TO ON BROOKLYN NINE-NINE CAUSE THEY’RE SUPER BEHIND BUT I LOVE HEARING THEIR REACTIONS TO EVERYTHING LOL. Even though our chats are almost strictly b99 related, we do get personal sometimes and I’m very glad that we can balance out our good and bad experiences in our friendship and help and support each other but also get so fucking pumped over brooklyn nine nine too. But yeah we have great chats and would definitely would recommend giving their blog a look <3 (ALSO THEY ALSO SEEM EQUALLY CONFUSED ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF TIME AND THE YEARS THAT PASS AND THAT’S GOOD (kinda??) CAUSE THAT MEANS THAT I’M NOT ALONE AND I’M VERY GRATEFUL FOR THAT)

@everyoneprotector - mm yes, Alex, my dude you’re such a legend, you’re my aussie mate!! Very cool spider person ::::) and I enjoy our food debates (whether they’re civil or it’s just us screaming at each other in the reblogs for like an hour). You’re an ace-mazing legend that we all stan, I’m very glad we starting interacting, my only regret is that we didn’t start sooner!! 100% recommend Alex’s blog if you’re Ausralian cause they’ve got some top notch Australian content (They’re posting about the election rn lol) but even if you’re not Australian, you can still enjoy their posts cause they’ve got a bunch of funny stuff on there (including funny fandom stuff!! I’m not even in a lot of the fandoms that Alex posts about BUT THE POSTS ARE STILL GREAT)

@ihateitwhenyourejustvague - ABSOLOUTELY WONDERFUL AND BRITISH. Peppa pig wishes she was vague. Our vague crusade champion queen, all hail vague. I actually had to leave the group discord cause the power from it was too strong for my poor mortal body to handle (nah, it was actually because I’m really scared of discord and being in a voice chat with more than one person is so frightening but IT’S NOT ABOUT ME IT’S ABOUT SPREADING THE LOVE) So definitely go follow vague!! They’re the best!! Also!! A very good writer!! I always reblog the writing posts but I highly recommend asking to be added to the writing tag list so that you make sure you see every single writing post!

@bakugou-klancey-lance - We pretty much never talk but they add a cheeky lil “uwuuuuu <3” in my inbox every now and again and I think that that’s really sweet (also very funny blog!! 10/10 would recommend!!)

I WOULD DO MORE OF MY MUTUALS BUT I HAVE TO DO SOME MATHEMATICAL METHODS HOMEWORK ::::((((((

probs won’t do it lol but I’ll damn well try

#im the op #mutuals <3 #this is v long hehe #we love you all sm #pls follow them all #they're all amazing hfjkwjshdgfhdjs

An education Chapter 4

A/N: I’m so happy, you guys like this story! It’s a special one for me, because of the time-frame and the slow-burn stuff, which I’ve never really done before. I just want to say a huge thank you to @redeyedvixen, who’s been a true pillar; she’s amazing, wonderful and a ton of other amazing adjectives, and THANK YOU for being there for me (even when I send you snapchats of me being weird – like accidentally sending you a snapchat of me singing a lullaby). Remember, I always say yes to requests and feedback feeds the writer!

Pairings: Dean x reader Warnings: Fluff, slight angst, language, sexy dream

Chapter 4 Overheard conversations

June

The three of us were sitting in the kitchen, trying to enjoy a quiet breakfast together. It was hard, considering Sam glared, his eyes flickering in increasing pace between me and Sam. He pointed a finger accusingly at me and then Dean and back at me. “Something is going on between you two.” He said accusingly. I looked at Dean, my eyes flitting over his face, and his eyes finding mine. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, Sammy.” Dean grumbled quickly, stuffing his mouth with bacon. Sam snorted. “Liar.” Sam grunted and narrowed his eyes. “Something his been different since that hunt, I took with Garth.” I shrugged.

Truth was, something had shifted, since the night, I found my photo in Dean’s bed. Dean had given me an incredibly horrible lie (I-uh-I found it and I-uh- kept it for you) and had been shaking as he waited for my answer; he knew I knew he was lying, but I didn’t want to go further into it – honestly, the answer to why wasn’t really at the forefront of my mind. I didn’t want to put our friendship through that, so I had accepted his lie as his truth, and we had silently agreed to never speak of it again. I was curious, of course, but I didn’t want to risk our friendship – he was embarrassed about it, and I didn’t want to further that embarrassment, so I left it alone. For now, at least. So we went on our merry way, pretending like it hadn’t happened, but I felt it, and I was sure he did too; everything had an air of unspoken words about it. A shift in the air, in the way we were towards each other. It was almost as if an invisible barrier had been broken down. I found myself glancing at him more often than not, and often, he was staring at me too, an undecipherable look behind his green eyes. Prolonged touches were becoming more and more common – lingering touches across my back, neck and hair. Sam must’ve noticed, because now he was glaring angrily at us both.

“Sam, I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about. Promise.” I shrugged and dug back into my pancakes. Sam groaned annoyed. “I know something’s going on! Can’t you guys just be…” He groaned and threw his hands up in frustration. “You know what? Fine. Figure it out yourselves.” He stood up. “I’m living with goddamn teenagers…” He mumbled as he left the kitchen. I caught Deans eye, and he shrugged, rolling his eyes. “Let it go, Y/N, he’s been having a hard time.” I raised my eyebrows. He smirked at me. “Anyway, let’s recap here.” He pulled a bunch of print-outs out from his pocket and laid them out on the table in front of me. “We’ve got something or someone killing young girls. Ten missing, different ages, different looks and social circles.” I nodded, scanning the papers in front of me. “And this one” I put a hand on the top print of a missing-poster, turning it towards him. “Is the newest, right?” He cocked his head to the side and put a hand right next to mine – it felt like a current was running through his hand all the way over to mine – I wanted to reach out and touch him so much, it almost hurt me. He nodded slowly. “Yup. Anna, aged 20 disappeared without a trace three days ago, as she was walking home from class. Yesterday, her body was found.” He sighed, and gently moved my hand off the paper, and I almost gasped audibly; it felt like I had been shocked. He quickly looked up at me, a small worry-line appearing between his brows, but he moved his hand away just as quickly, as he had put it on me, and pulled a piece of paper out from the pile. “This…” He said, as he showed me the paper. “Is how she was found. A bunch of old symbols and sigils carved into her, and she had practically been drained for blood.” He said as I took the paper from the coroner and scanned it. I narrowed my eyes at the sigils and signs that were portrayed on her body. “I can try and decode some of them on the way.” I said quietly, already in research-mode, and Dean grinned at me. “Of course, you can, sweetheart. We’re leaving in an hour!” He said as he pushed his chair out and stomped off, leaving me with the folder of the missing girls. I had my head stuck in the papers as I packed, haphazardly throwing my stuff in an old duffel-bag, trying to make heads and tails of the sigils, placements and so forth. Sam stuck his head inside my room. “We’re going. Are you good to go?” I nodded, still with my nose in the case-file, and followed him automatically out of the bunker and towards the Impala. “I call shot-gun!” Sam roared as he ran to the passenger side. I groaned, finally looking fully up from the papers. “Come on, why?” I whined. He grinned at me. “I’ve got the longest legs, and Dean’s driving. Soooooo…. Backseat for you!” He said with a wink and I grimaced. I hated the backseat. Dean came up behind me, and ruffled my hair, his calloused fingers resting for a fraction of a second on the nape of my neck, making my skin erupt into goosebumps. “That’s the way this works, sweetheart.” He mumbled. I frowned. “Fine. But I’m not going to be happy about it! It smells back there…” I said, scrunching my nose. “Hey, nothing bad about baby!” He said with a finger pointed in my direction, as he walked towards the Impala. I rolled my eyes at him, and got in the backseat, pulling my knees in – the space was limited, because of Sam’s enormous body pushing the seat back.

We drove for a few hours, and my eyes got tired from all the sigils and fine print, so I closed the folder on the case and closed my eyes. “Too much reading, Y/N?” Dean’s voice sounded from the front-seat. I snapped my eyes open, and saw his green eyes looking at me in the rear-view-mirror. I groaned and stretched my body. “Yup. I’m done for a few hours.” I said. He laughed, and my stomach filled with butterflies. I blushed and closed my eyes again. “Sleep for a few hours. We’ll wake you when we get there.” He said in a low, soothing voice. I nodded, already tired, and laid back. One of the perks of the backseat was the opportunity to stretch out your entire body and sleep. I curled my body as much as I could, and sighed deeply, already drifting off to sleep. I had a recurring dream. Dean, all smiles and green eyes, laying on top of me. He kissed me gently, as his hips rocked back and forward, pumping in and out of me. I moaned in my dream, wallowing in the feel of him inside me, and wrapped my arms around him. He kissed me and started to say something, when I was rudely awoken by a loud guffaw from the front-seat. I groaned but didn’t open my eyes. It was such a good dream, and I didn’t want to let it go quite yet. “Dude, stop, she’ll hear you.” Dean’s gruff voice came from the front, and Sam chuckled. “She’s sleeping, dude. It’s fine.” Dean snorted. “So…” Sam said after a few quiet moments. “Sam, shut your pie-hole.” Dean snarled at Sam, who just laughed again. “Come on, Dean. I’ve known it for a while, you just didn’t have the balls to admit it before now. So, out with it. What happened, when I was gone?” Dean mumbled something. “Sorry? I didn’t hear that.” I could hear the smile in Sam’s voice. I forced myself to take slow, even breaths and keep my eyes closed, so I the guys wouldn’t notice I was awake. “I.. She found a picture, okay?” He grumbled. “A picture?” Sam said confused. “Yes, oaky, a picture of her!” Dean snarled. “Oooh…” Sam said, suddenly understanding. “no more busty Asian beauties, huh?” Dean laughed. “I guess not.” Silence followed, and I almost considered fake waking up, when Dean’s voice sounded again. “I..Uh… I know, I’ve told you about this, but… Can we keep it between us?” Sam sighed. “Why, Dean? Can’t you just finally admit it to her?” He asked annoyed. “No, Sam. This isn’t that easy, okay? It’s a whole new ball-court here, and I’m not ready to try out yet. Besides, who says she’ll take it well? Handle it at all? Nah, I think this should just… Stay in my daydreams, man.” He said crestfallen. Sam was about to say something, when a sneeze snuck up on me. Dean cleared his throat. “Hey, look who’s up! We would have woken you soon anyway, we’re almost there.” I nodded and rubbed fake-sleep out of my fake-sleepy-eyes. “Cool.” I said in a small voice. “uhm… Where are we, exactly?” Sam turned and looked at me. “A town between middle and nowhere.” He said with a grin. I rolled my eyes and stretched my arms, pushing my chest out just a little – Dean’s eyes found me in the rear-view-mirror and widened slightly as his gaze fell on my chest. I grinned as I caught his eye in the mirror and winked coyly at him. He blushed slightly and winked back, as he slowed the car down and pulled over to a parking-lot in front of a motel.

The three of us stepped out, Sam stretching his long legs and shaking his head, making his long hair flow gently around his face. Dean clapped his shoulder and walked past him into the front door of the motel. I followed him, stepping behind him. He looked over his shoulder and smiled at me, as he stood in front of the reception-desk. “Hi, can we get a room?” The mousy clerk nodded slowly, her eyes trained on Dean’s face. I rolled my eyes. It’s the same, where ever we went – a small town, a sweet, innocent, quiet girl took one look at Dean and could see herself in a wedding dress in front of him. “S-s-sure.” She stuttered and smiled a little too wide. I couldn’t help myself, and I snaked my arm around Dean’s waist, my fingers resting gently against his side. He stiffened and looked down at me curiously. I simply smiled sweetly at him and answered. “We’re three, thank you.” Sam came in, his arms and hands covered in duffel-bags and case-files, and muttered “Thanks for the help, guys.” The clerk smiled sweetly, her eyes cold and trained on my hand around Dean’s waist. “Three single beds, please.” Sam said to her. Her eyes flickered to him, and then back at Dean. “We only have rooms with two singles and a couch or one double and one couch.” She said waspily. Dean sighed and looked down at me. “What do you think?” I shrugged. “Either one works.” He looked briefly at Sam, a silent communication going on behind my back, and he turned back to the clerk. “Two singles and a couch, thanks.” He said kindly, and she nodded, plotting general information about us down on her computer, before handing Dean a room-key. “Enjoy your stay. If there’s anything, anything at all, I can do for you, let me know.” She said with a voice thick with implication. I rolled my eyes at her and grabbed the room-key from her outstretched hand and stalked off – it annoyed me to no end, to see these girls flirting with Dean; I had no interest in watching him flirt back. But to my surprise, he quickly caught up with me. “Same shit, different town.” He said as an answer to my silent question. I stopped in front of the room and unlocked the door.

It was – as most motels are – dingy, had a weird, stale smell, and some truly awful bedspreads. I looked around (the window was covered in grime, and a faint smell of tobacco hung in the air) and my eyes fell on the couch. None of the boys would fit in that small thing; I guess I was on couch-duty. I sat down on it, and grimaced – it was well-worn, and I could feel every individual spring poking through the thin cover. I sighed and looked at the boys, who had the good grace to look somewhat sorry for me and my predicament. Sam sighed, and Dean sat down on the right bed.

“Let’s get this show on the road.”

Six hours later, and my head was hurting like a bitch. I rubbed my forehead with my right hand, sighed deeply and closed the file in front of me. Okay, I’m done. I can’t contain any more information.” I said, closing my eyes. “Yeah, I’m just about done too.” Sam sighed. Dean sat still with his eyes closed. “Did you figure out what those carved sigils were?” He said quietly – Dean was about to hit his breaking point. “Yeah. It’s like a… Weird type of home-made angel-ward. Not very pretty, not very graciously done, but I’m like 99 percent sure it’s an angel-ward.” I said, looking at Sam and Dean. “Angel-ward? On…” Sam trailed off, and I could hear him think – groaned. “okay, research is done for the night. I’m exhausted. And hungry.” I frowned at my grumbling stomach. Dean chuckled. “Alright, I’ll get grub. After that, we sleep. All of us!” He said with a pointed glare at Sam, who waved a hand at him. “Yeah, yeah.” Dean sighed and stood up. He winked at me and stepped out of the door – the moment the door had closed behind him, Sam turned to look at me. “Spill.” He said sternly. I looked confused at him. “What?” He narrowed his eyes. “You know what.” He said. I groaned and threw my back into the couch – bad idea, as a spring poked through, hitting me hard. I winced as I rubbed my sore back and stared at Sam, who sat and waited patiently for me to talk. “Okay. Listen, it’s…” I sighed deeply. “Come on, Y/N. What is going on with you and Dean?” I grimaced. “Okay, nothing is really going on. It just… It feels weird. Like a barrier or something has tumbled down. I don’t know. I’ve sort of allowed myself to think everything to be a bit more than what it probably is.” I said with a shrug. Sam shook his head in disbelief, but I continued. “Listen, Sam. This friendship me and Dean have… It’s the best thing in my life. Seriously. I don’t want to jeopardize it. So, can we just… Leave it alone, please?” I begged. “But…” His words got cut off as Dean opened the door his hands holding to large to-go-bags and a big grin on his face. “Grub!” He yelled and put the bags down on the table in the middle of the room. “Alright, cheeseburger for me, a bacon-burger with curly cheese-fries for Y/n – you better share those – and…” He grimaced. “And a Waldorf salad, whatever the hell that means, for the weirdo.” He tossed the container to Sam and started pulling the rest of the food out of the bags. Silence, only interrupted by loud chewing, filled the cramped room, as we chowed down on the food.

Dean bunched up the piece of wrappings and threw them in the bin next to the minifridge. “Alright, I’m done. Pack it in, guys, we’re going to have to go hard at it tomorrow.” He said with a yawn, as he bent down to lace his boots down and flicking them off. Sam grunted and put his container down as well. “Me too.” He laid down, not even caring about taking anything off, and scooted under the covers, falling asleep almost instantly. I looked at Dean, who was currently crawling under his covers, and I smiled. He looked like an oversized toddler. I quickly grabbed a few clothes from my duffel and went to the bathroom to change and brush my teeth. When I returned to the main room, the lights were off, and it was cold – I hadn’t noticed it before, when I was fully clothed, but now, my nipples were rock-hard, and I had goosebumps everywhere. I shivered and quickly scooted myself on to the couch, springs poking me in odd places, and pulled a scratchy blanket over my body. It didn’t provide much heat, and soon I was shivering hard and my teeth were clattering – plus, I was really uncomfortable on this small, springy couch.

I heard a groan from the bed closest to me, and the ruffling of covers. “Dude, could you try to lie still?” Deans sleepy voice sounded in the darkness. “You try sleeping on a broken couch in a cold room with a small, scratchy blanket.” I whined. He sighed deeply. “Come on then.” I raised my eyebrows but remembered he couldn’t see it. “Uhm… Why?” I asked cautiously. He groaned. “You’re cold and uncomfortable, I’ve got a somewhat comfy bed, body-heat and non-scratchy blankets. It’s not up for discussion, I don’t want you to catch a cold on my watch.” I heard him shift slightly, and I sighed defeatedly. The thought of body-heat and non-scratchy blankets had me moving over to his bed, and I snaked my body down into the bed, settling nicely in the little space he had created when he moved over. I sighed gently as the warm covers came over me. “Shit, Y/N, did you sleep in a bucket of ice?” He said, when he accidentally touched my feet. I grumbled. If he had a problem, he shouldn’t have invited my cold ass into his warm bed. “Sorry.” I mumbled. He sighed and turned slightly, his arm snaking its way under my pillow and under my head before it wrapped gently around my shoulder and pulled me flush against him. I almost moaned out loud, but I managed to keep my cool; my head was nestled in the crook of his neck, his scent invading every sense I had – like wood, whiskey and just… Dean. His other arm wrapped protectively around my waist, and I couldn’t help myself from tentatively wrapping my own arm around his waist as well and let my other hand rest gently on his warm thigh. He sighed, his breath tickling my forehead, and I smiled gently. This felt oddly like home.

I was almost asleep, when he mumbled something I couldn’t understand, and I felt his soft lips press gently against my forehead, followed by a deep, content sigh.

I could get used to this.

How did you meet your amazing girlfriend?

I’ve been sitting on this ask for some time trying to figure out the way to say this, so I suppose I will just tell the story as it happened.

I won’t be posting her URL here because I don’t want to send thousands of eyes to scour her blog, but we’ve been mutuals for something like a year, and always had crushes on each other, flirted a ton online, etc. But she lives very far away from me and this, of course, is a major obstacle, so we never made plans to act on that at all. She messaged me one day to say she’d be in town for a day or two on a family trip, and I brought up hooking up if she was interested, although I was such a nervous baby about it that I think I ACTUALLY said, “Hey we should make out or something if you want.” We agreed to meet, go to my place together, have a lot of sex, and make some sourdough because why not? So in the days before meeting 1) I tried a new recipe and tested it out to ensure it would be good enough and 2) we sexted a ton (she’s good at this and also? world’s best Snapchat snapper) and just got to know each other really well, too, and I found out that we have all sorts of weird little things in common- we want the same number of kids, we want the same color Le Creuset oven, we like and dislike the same kinds of fruits, she has been making jam for several years and I have been making bread for several years, etc- and each of us made several obviously-not-regular-hookup comments about the other being :) the woman :) of our :) dreams :) and how ohhhh gosh if only she didn’t live so far away we’d totally be dating!

She made it to the coffeeshop where I work, and I saw her coming in the door, thought, “WOW she is prettier than I expected” and immediately pretended not to see her/to be very QUICKLY taking some trash to the back of house to go get myself settled. I put on what was apparently a very good -I am totally chill and not going to die- face, sat beside her, made some conversation about her trip up, blah blah, sexted for several hours while I was closing up shop, and decided we would catch a ride from a bar across the street from my job because I MAY have skipped out on a meeting to go fuck this really hot woman and didn’t want it to be super obvious. So I closed up like normal, went to go meet her at the bar, and she kissed me several times while waiting for the car because she was too excited to wait. Then we got home, made bread, and had really incredible sex during which she came 13 (THIRTEEN) times before I stopped counting :) :) :) And when she left I did my best to pretend not to be sad, but it didn’t work because she asked, “Are you sad?” and when I said “Oh! I didn’t think you could tell!” she proceeded to mimic my posture, which was hands-in-my-pockets, slumped over, and forlornly gazing at the ground because I’d had a really genuinely magical time with her.

The main thing is really that the second we met I just felt an instant sort of “WOW I’d like to keep this one around” feeling that I know from a lot of dating is extremely rare and really special, and I think there were lots of moments during our first date that were very much not regular hookup/hangout moments, like we each called the other sweetie more than once, spent…an absurd amount of time staring into each others’ gay eyes, held hands a lot more than would be normal for a hookup, etc. I think it took her a few hours after she left to really realize she was feeling the same thing, but every now and again you meet someone and it just feels right and natural and comfortable instantly, and you just MESH well, and that’s really what happened. So in the next few days we sort of talked things over and decided to give this thing a shot. And I’m glad we did! Sometimes you have to do the very stupid, very silly, very wild 20something thing to do and just go for it because you think you could find something really special and worth it. I think I just sort of thought, “No this isn’t the most logical thing in the world but I know how rare this feeling is and if I can, I don’t plan to let it go because of something like distance.” So now we’re girlfriends and I couldn’t be happier about it- she’s really wonderful and sweet and makes me incredibly happy and I’m so proud to be, as my blog is titled, Her Butch. She’s the best coincidence I’ve ever encountered, and I’m so glad that she came through the city at just the right time and on just the right day and we talked just often enough beforehand for her to tell me she’d be in town, because I honestly didn’t think I was capable of feeling this way again and she’s been a wonderful addition to my life. She’s a pretty excellent girlfriend and I’m more excited than I can say to kiss her again.

#so that's my gf #anonymous #my favoritest femme

5/27/17, 1:45 AM - Records Broken, Curses Lifted

This is gonna be the weirdest post I’ve made in a while, I don’t think I’ve ever made a post dedicated to a girl who was actively reading my blog, but I’m gonna try my best not to hold back what I was going to say anyway because fuckit whatever I guess I was going to tell her eventually.

“Textiles girl [Katy] has become something really special” is how I tried to start a blog post last week but I was drunk and bailed out on it.

Initially I was tweeting about how she was tinder attractive because of her fondness of cats and her familiarity with smash bros. But the more I talk to her the more I get that familiar feeling of “this is a female version of me” that makes me go absolutely bonkers for someone. Yknow, kinda like what happened with Ashleigh but like maybe even moreso.

It started as like cosmically coincidental that I matched with her on the one day out of two weeks that I was visiting raleigh, but then found out that she was going to be spending the summer in greensboro. So since I was going for harem strats my idea was that by chit chatting with her until she moved into town I’d kinda have dibs lmfao.

But like then the more we talked the more and more we’d have in common. She’s one of the only people I know to have the same degree of nearsightedness that I had before I got my vision corrected. We both have the same phobia of commitment after coming out of long term relationships [I mean who doesn’t]. We both order our drinks without ice, she says her favorite color is specifically “royal blue” which is exactly how I worded it until I became a unc student, we got picked on in school the same ways, we both have similarly detailed sex conquest lists, we both have a strange fascination with cheetah print, my birthday is the same as her mom’s while her birthday is only two days off from my dad’s and we even have matching scars on our feet. It’s weird. There’s a lot more but I digress.

I didn’t find out all this before meeting her, but Katy is like the first girl I actually thoroughly enjoyed talking to on tinder. We started snapchatting a few days later and haven’t missed a day since (I think we’re at a fire streak of 17 now). Every day that she’d go to work she’d be bored and beg me to entertain her. It reminded me exactly of when I first started working after I graduated and I used to ask Kailey to try to entertain me. Except the only difference is she wouldn’t. Instead, I’d ask Katy all sorts of questions about herself and it got to the point where I was half guessing some of the answers (but I never got them right. We’re not like carbon copies lmfao).

Almost all of this talk happened after our pseudo-date plans fell through, and so she’s living out in hickory with her parents. I practically begged her to come with me to lake week, but she couldn’t because of family plans, and instead we messaged each other the whole time.

So in typical Tyler head over heels fashion I decided that I needed to do something dramatic to see if this was legit or if I was just getting catfished yet again. I mean we had actually taken the time to go through each others facebook pictures and like talk about our pasts and shit so I knew she wouldn’t be too far off from what I thought she looked like, but idk I just did my best to stay skeptical. But I was excited enough to meet her to drive all the way out to Hickory the day that the lake weekend was over so that I could finally see her and talk to her in person.

And ho.ly. shit. She was cuter than I could’ve possibly imagined. She has this slight southern twang in her voice that I fucking love, and she’s only just barely taller than me, and her laugh had me giddy like immediately. We went out to see Guardians of the Galaxy 2 in a nearly empty theatre and held hands through like the whole thing. She guided me to a bar, we ate a little food, and we finally actually talked about our lives in person. Parked in a church parking lot and had pretty damn good sex, considering it was car sex. Her parents gave her a curfew and she had work in the morning though. Came home into Ashleigh’s apartment in my boxers and Aaron and her both laughed at me, and I joined them to watch some twin peaks.

I felt absolutely hooked on her though. It was like the best first date I’d ever been on in my life. I felt like I could tell her almost anything, and it was like impossible for us to have an awkward moment. I couldn’t stand the thought of waiting until I got back from Florida to see her again, so I asked if she wanted to see me again on Wednesday. [tuesday was great too, played some smash and chilled with Aaron and Ashleigh, played some magic, went to bars, smoked with them and discussed theology lol.]

and she did, though. We decided that since we couldn’t hang around her parents place and since we’ve both always wanted to, we’d get a hotel room for the explicit purpose of just having a ton of sex and hanging out in alone. It was fucking phenomenal. Her parents weren’t home when I picked her up so I made her give me a tour of her house so I could meet her pets and see what her room was like (she has SOOO much cheetah shit omg <3). We got some chic fil a, I made an ass out of myself yelling about rubbing fried chicken all over our naked bodies in the middle of the supermarket next to small children while we got cider, and we checked into the hotel. We had about 5 hours until we had to drop her off at home, so we basically alternated dual marathons of sex and rick and morty. I want to get absurdly explicit about how sexy it was, but idt I can right now, I only do that kind of writing in private lmfao. The tl;dr is we broke both our 6-hr records by hitting 7 separate sexings. I came 6 different times in 5 hours, it was fucking crazy hahaha. And we got through like 5 episodes lol. pretty perfect day if I do say so myself.

And what made it all the better was I let her pick between my two pairs of sexy underwear - the space tighties from my NY road trip and the cheetah briefs that Kailey got me as a birthday present. Obviously Katy picked the cheetah ones but my go to would have been the space ones, only because every fucking single time I wore those cheetah boxers in anticipation of a date it’s either fallen through or gone totally shitty. They were literally cursed until wednesday. I swear it’s like a sign or something.

I hate drawing this kind of comparison, but there’s something nagging me like Katy represents all the traits that I had actually wanted in Kailey when we first started dating. Like the interest in video games and cartoons and better music taste while retaining the absurdly high thirst for sex lmfao. But it’s like kinda purified by her allergy to smoke, because I feel like that was the only core connection that me and Kailey had for a long time. For a while I would postulate that Kailey quitting smoking weed would be like me quitting melee, and so I kind of fucking love that Katy doesn’t smoke at all. It makes me not want to, too. The day before I left the lake I smoked my last cigarette in anticipation of seeing her. Haven’t had a problem not smoking since, haven’t wanted to pick up a new pack. I think I’m really done with them.

But so long story short I’m getting feelings for this girl because she’s absolutely incredible to me. I’ve only seen her twice but I feel like we’ve been talking forever and I’m pretty committed to doing whatever it’s going to take to get her to date me eventually. It honestly kind of horrifies me to write that knowing that she’s about to read all this, because I know that she’s just getting out of her relationship and we’ve talked about how she doesn’t want to do anything serious right now, so I was just going to keep these feelings under wraps for a long time so that I didn’t blow things prematurely. Kind of reminds me of Exactly how I fucked things up before lmfao. I hate making the same mistakes twice, but who knows.

😘😘😘😘 Katy, if you’re reading this, it’s too late. Hope ya don’t freak out. Fingers crossed. You’re totally gorgeous and I love spending time with you and every time I get a message from you it makes me a little happier, and persistent thoughts of you have dissolved all of my interest in pursuing any other woman for the time being. So that’s it.

Love life updated.

Yesterday was a very different feeling. I decided to meet a friend in person who I had been chatting online for a year. Akiila and I met on tinder. When we realized how much we had in common, we began following each other on social media. I have no idea how we matched up back then in the first place because he was living in New Zealand during the time.

We talked a lot about traveling since he was born in Sri Lanka and his parents sent him to live with his aunt in New Zealand (when a tsunami hit Sri Lanka causing devastation). We both love to travel and see the world and he was in the process of moving to Windsor Ontario, Canada for school, therefore he asked me a lot of questions about what to pack in terms of weather since the climate in the U.S. Detroit area is relatively the same.

We went through a very dry phase where we didn’t talk hardly ever. I was seeing someone and he was highly interested in a French girl who led him on only to later put him in the friend zone. 2 weeks ago on my spring getaway in SC, surprisingly we had a ton of contact via snapchat. I can’t remember exactly what started all of it. I think he randomly messaged me one night asking me how I’m doing.

We would stay up all night snapping each other/ using video chat on whatsapp and facebook messenger etc. His accent is amazing. I can honestly listen to it all day everyday. Being born in Sri Lanka and raised in New Zealand, you can only imagine what his dialect sounds like <3 We talked about everything and nothing. I remember telling him over the phone how I felt like I could talk to him about anything and I felt so comfortable talking to him. That’s when he said “don’t take this the wrong way, but do you think it’s easier to talk to me because we’ve never met? The whole concept of talking to a stranger in a judgement free zone?” I had never thought about it that way. We talked more and more until he invited me to spend a day with him in Windsor. I said yes. I was both nervous and excited in a sense that I knew I would have to cross the border, which is not exactly my thing lol).

So yesterday I left my house at Noon and Got to Windsor after 1. Half of the battle was trying to find each other. I couldn’t come to his apartment because I don’t have a parking pass. He doesn’t have a car, nor does his new phone have wifi/data and he can’t make phone calls unless he has a wifi connection. I have a car, but once I crossed the border, my phone went to roaming, in that I am technically in a different country. So I used as much data as I could and he made sure to stay in his apartment until I was parked at our meeting place for sure. Then he would get started my way, after getting my message. He made sure to meet me at a spot where he would have wifi. I walked nearly a mile to the spot he was located in that he said “I can’t move, this is the only spot where I can communicate with you”. I finally reached his spot by the river and he was laying in the grass on the top of a hill. He had a cute purple backpack on. I called his name and he came up to me. We didn’t hug, nor shake hands. It was very much so awkward.

We began chatting about what we wanted to do. We decided to go downtown. I drove. I broke the ice as soon as we got in the car and suggested we grab drinks. Windsor is such a strange place to me. Walking through town was like a ghost town. It’s like we were the only ones out. We went to the only bar that was open, called Leftys. There was one worker in the whole building. A rasta white girl with long locs and piercings. I ordered a vodka soda and he ordered a pitcher or beer. After we got a good buzz going, we were done having intellectual convos and on to sillyness. His sense of humor is so dry and mine is so silly and when you mix them, you’re onto something. We were both laughing really hard at one point. Eventually we got hungry and left to get food since this strange place didn’t serve food. We got Mediterranean food. Still tipsy and silly. He wanted to go back and get more drinks and of course I wasn’t gonna say no to that.

Everything was kinda cloudy from that point on, but I vaguely remember him asking me “so what do you think about all of this?” I was confused on what he meant. He asked me how it felt meeting in person and I blurted out that I was attracted to him. I asked him to sit next to me. He came across the booth and sat close to me putting his arm around me. He goes “awww so sweet” and kisses me on the forehead. I asked for another kiss and we began making out and cuddling. The bartender came over and gave us the bill. We left immediately and went to go find a hotel. All of a sudden, walking around town with him felt right. We felt like an item and we were holding hands. Walking in the parking structure, as soon as we turned the corner, he grabbed my hand and said “co’mere girl”. He put his hands around my waist and started kissing me. I put my arms around his neck and we madeout until we heard people coming.

It took us a while to find a room. When we finally did, we were both very sober but still feeling in love. I’ve never had foreplay so passionate in my entire life. It was so refreshing. A lot of sensual loving. Eventually we did it, and it turned into something that we kept doing over and over again. We would get tired, take a break, maybe a nap and then have more sex. Out of all of it, cuddling was my favorite part. I felt so loved I guess. He is so cuddly, smells amazing and those moments made me realize he’s such a man. Gorgeous ethnic man with tattoos. Just beautiful. He would make such dry humor at the perfect moments. At one point he even farted on me. That’s when you know you feel comfortable around someone.

Yesterday I felt like I had a best friend and like we had known each other for ever. He begged me to stay the night with him but I really needed to get home. I knew that I was no match for the border to USA and the anticipation gave me great anxiety.

Dropping him off at his place was a strange vibe. All I could really say is it was nice to meet him. I was afraid to tell him that I missed him already. I told him to be safe instead. He said “we’ll probably never see each other again. You take care”. I looked in his eyes, he grabbed my face and gave me a goodbye kiss.

:( ughh I feel like I will be ok, but right now I’m not sure if I am. I’m used to this whole foreign love affair stuff but you can never truly be ready for goodbyes. I love him and overall, I’m glad I decided to put my pride aside and go see him while I had the chance.

9 Brands Crushing It with Instagram Stories

Do you know what I like more than just about anything in the whole wide world?

Sleeping in on a Sunday and profitable social media; it’s right up there with running in the rain or drinking a cold beer after yard work.

Profitable social media is the stuff of life. It smells like freshly mowed grass and tastes like fine champagne (I guess I really like yard work, huh?)

Seeing profitable social means both the brand and the customers win. Who doesn’t love a win-win?

Before brands can achieve the sweet smell of social media profitability, they must first establish trust and gain the respect of audiences through organic social media.

In the last year, we’ve seen many brands crushing it on social media, especially with Instagram Stories. Instagram Stories create an interesting dynamic for brands because, from the outside, no one can numerically judge the success of their efforts—there is no view count or like count.

However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t clear all-stars when it comes to Instagram Stories.

Brands can’t make a profit without building the trust and respect of their audiences. Click To Tweet 1. Converse

Just about everyone in America knows Converse as a brand. They’re the original “gotta-have-it” sneaker. You weren’t cool unless you wore Chuck Taylors. But what you may have missed is just how hard Converse works to be “alternative”. Converse’s social team puts real effort into purposefully missing the mark on “cool” and falling into the whiskey tango foxtrot category.

Frankly, it’s a genius move. The more Converse pushes against “cool”, the more they earn the respect of young Generation Z. Sounds like Classic Converse to me.

Creative aside, marketers should take notice of their Instagram Story strategy. In announcing the rollout of a new shoe collaboration, Converse seamlessly connects their Instagram post content with their Instagram Story content.

Their Instagram feed and Instagram Story work in perfect harmony.

I’m all for obvious, somewhat repetitive social—wash, rinse, and repeat. If brands want their audience to know something, they should wrap exciting, memorable content around that something and repeat, repeat, repeat, just as Converse has done—so nicely “it will make you puke.”

2. National Geographic

Here, we see nature’s crafty photojournalists trying to domesticate the wild that is Instagram Stories. Join me, as we study their behaviors.

The photographs and storytelling found in National Geographic have been legendary almost since the magazine’s inception in 1888. Just as they do in print and across their digital properties, NatGeo has found innovative ways to share new ecological studies and award-winning imagery in the newest medium.

Through Instagram Stories, National Geographic educates and promotes conservation efforts being done by incredible people and organizations across the world. In this example, their Swipe Up call to action drives users to a National Geographic landing page where visitors can pledge to reduce plastic usage and share their pledge on social.

3. Twitter

Twitter shamelessly shares highlights from the channel on Instagram Stories. Swipe up, and users will land on Twitter. If they haven’t downloaded the app or created an account, they will be prompted to do so.

Twitter knows what Tweeters love to Tweet about. Their Instagram Stories are full of social causes, news, sports and celebrities. Each video prompts users to swipe up to learn more (swipe up to go to Twitter), where the “real” conversations are happening. When they post content of such engaging quality, who can fault Twitter for stealing a little Instagram love for themselves?

4. Minimalist Baker

People love food. (It’s true — I’m one of these people). Thanks to the sheer volume of food pics on the platform, Instagram is one of the best places to see and experience all the great things that food has to offer, especially new trends and easy to follow recipes. Minimalist Baker is one of the standout stars in this category.

Every day, founder and photographer Dana Shultz shares new plant-based recipes that are simple to make and even easier to eat. Minimalist Baker’s Stories are a blast to watch and learn from and always include the full recipe and ingredient list as a Swipe Up.

But it’s the use of Instagram Stories Highlights that really helps them crush it. By keeping some of their most popular recipes and Stories stocked at the top of their profile, they enable new foodies to discover their take on plant-based cooking in a super approachable, step-by-step fashion.

5. Nordstrom Rack

The managers of the Nordstrom Rack account went behind-the-scenes on their holiday shoot. While the models joyfully bounced around, teenage shoppers ran to their parents, begging for an advance on their monthly allowances.

Everyone knows Nordstrom stands for quality, but seeing the clothes in action takes them beyond #goals to #mustbemine. By the time the professional photos from this BTS shoot hit stores/catalogs (and the clothes hit the racks), shoppers will feel a kinship to the models, excitement for the new season and, most importantly, trust in the brand.

6. Game of Thrones

Game of Thrones fans love their merch, and the managers of the Game of Thrones Instagram account plan to take that fact straight to the bank.

The Game of Thrones audience, ruled by forever-nerds, will leap at any piece of merchandise that may raise them above the hoards of wine-drinkers-who-know-things. By sharing links to merchandise clearly made by small-fry superfans, the brand shows a ton of heart. This Instagram Story is another great example of a brand profiting from knowing and serving their audience. They even have the clever hashtag #reptherealm.

7. Buffer

When you’re trying to Netflix & Chill, buffering is the last thing you want. But you want to stay up to speed and on your toes as to what’s new and exciting in the world of social, Buffer’s blog is an outstanding resource.

Every Thursday, Buffer uses Instagram Story Polls to quiz their followers on their social media expertise, and they give out real prizes for each quiz!

These #BufferTriviaThursdays quizzes are a brilliant way to bring attention to new social topics Buffer’s audience needs to continue learning about. They’re a ton of fun to take and test your skillz (the “z” helps you know you’re cool!) — all while reinforcing Buffer’s breadth of company knowledge.

8. Crossfit

Crossfit is attempting to serve an international audience from one account, and that’s no easy feat (talk about a killer workout). Yes, a lot of brands do it, but Crossfit isn’t promoting a product; they are promoting a lifestyle. Going international and covering all those lifestyles (which include a variety of cultures and traditions) is tough.

I won’t congratulate Crossfit on the quality of their photography/videography because, frankly, I think they can do better. However, I do commend the brand on staying so true to brand and utilizing their resources.

The brand used Instagram Live (later shared to their Instagram Story), user-generated content, and influencer marketing, all in one story, which is pretty incredible. Their Instagram content also covers their brand pillars of food, fitness, community, and jockish humor.

9. Taco Bell

Say you are dating a nice boy and want him to remember you no matter where he is. What do you do? Take a super cute selfie, and make it his phone’s background photo without his permission. Duh. Unforgettable.

That’s all Taco Bell is asking: to be unforgettable, by way of phone backgrounds everywhere.

This sort of engagement is pretty common. Many brands prompt users to capture the perfectly proportioned Instagram Story images to later use as extraordinary phone display images (and Snapchat Stories). With a phone background like this, friends of the Taco Bell fan will likely see a tenfold increase in instances of, “Want to go to Taco Bell?”

Thanks to Instagram Stories’ many features, from live video to links, there are many ways to engage your audience. As a marketer, you must continue to experiment and learn how to best leverage the features to help you achieve your social media objectives.

When brands really kill it on Instagram Stories, it’s a result of understanding and serving the needs and wants of their audiences, as with any other social platform.

What we’re seeing from winnings brands is how often they’re optimizing their already finely-tuned Instagram content to fit the new medium. Other times, they use the on-the-go temporary publisher to give the audience a look behind-the-scenes, straight into the soul of the brand.

As we’ve seen, there are a plethora of ways your brand can use Instagram Stories. If you are confident your team produces content that captivates, engages, and serves your audience, begin testing out that content on Instagram Stories. You’ll be happy you did.
