You up? (baby daddy AU: College days prequels)

12:35 am.

Fourteen month old Gabri is sleeping peacefully in her crib, the room consumed in darkness with exception to the light glow from your laptop. Tired fingers idly typing out yet another senior paper, trying to not type too loudly since she is such a light sleeper. With your phone turned on silent mode, you didn’t even noticed you got a new message till you checked the time.

Miguel 🫤: You up?

Oh god. You bite your lip as you stare at the message. I shouldn’t respond, I’m just gonna end up in his car and either we end up making out and arguing. You thought as you placed your phone face down, shifting your attention back to your laptop…

For only about five seconds until you reached for your phone again and opened the message.

You: I’m doing homework.

You: why?

You didn’t even have a chance to put your phone back down before the screen lit up again.

Miguel🫤: Miss you.

You: Gabriella’s asleep.

Despite your front of resistance at the idea, you have to admit it was hard for you to say no. It was always hard to say that to him. The break up was bad, messy, the only reason you haven’t blocked his number and never show your face around him was because of your daughter.

But… You missed him.

You missed the sharing of a bed with your little bundle of joy tucked between you two. You missed baking cookies at three in the morning when you were supposed to be pulling an all nighter studying. Missed being invited to the same group hang out without the other being excluded, and the way Mj and Peter would coo and all but steal Gabriella away from you both the entire time. Missed the tender kiss, and the whispered sweet nothings, the ‘I love you’s…

Now, everything is different, just you and Gabriella in your old childhood room a few streets away from your old apartment where your ex boyfriend is.

So like always, like every other time he called… you came.

“Hey mom, dad…is it okay if you can watch Gabriella for a bit? I-I know it’s late but Mj and Peter got into a fight and-“

God you hated lying to them.

“Of course honey, go go. I’ll turn on the baby monitor.” Your dad assured you as he got up and out of bed, giving you a kiss on the forehead as he walked past you and back into your room.

You hated how trusting they were of you.

“Thanks, I’ll be back soon.”

You hated how you still craved Miguel so much despite it all.

—

“Hey…”

“Hey.”

You hated the nerves you always got appearing on your his doorstep.

“You gonna come in or just stare at me?” The way his head tilted when he teased you, how you saw the glimmer in his eyes when he looked at you still…

You made sure to lock the door behind you.

[melrosing]

anyway I'm gonna start posting My Own Robert's Rebellion Adaptation ep by ep because.... GRRM's never gonna do it?? I have too much time?? both?? stay tuned

rules are I can fuck with timelines a little as a treat, but not so much that events/character ages & development are changed. so for example Aerys doesn’t actually make Tywin hand till four years into his reign I think, but who actually cares when Jaehaerys died, let’s say it was a little later and that Tywin was made Hand straight off

finally I am picturing a two season show where this one ends w Harrenhal. anyway

Next Part: Episode 2

Episode 1: Aerys' Dad Dies

We open on the body of King Jaehaerys II, lying in state at the Sept of Baelor. There’s a silent congregation standing around him, and closest of all his children, Aerys and Rhaella. Between them stands their young son, Rhaegar

At the King’s council as they discuss next steps from here. Right now, Aerys seems faintly charming, albeit with a jagged edge. There’s mention of Rhaella’s new pregnancy, and a fear that the distress of losing their father might cause her ill health. Everyone wants the transition to Aerys’ rule to be smooth as possible, so he must choose a Hand asap. His council have ideas; Aerys has one of his own 🦁

We are introduced to Tywin Lannister, travelling in a golden coach (obvs) to King’s Landing. With him are Joanna and their year-old twins. Tywin looks pleased with himself; Joanna notes he’s not Hand yet, but Tywin has no doubt he will be

The Lannisters are greeted jovially by Aerys, who is a little too familiar with Joanna, making her, Tywin and Rhaella equally uncomfortable. Aerys is introduced to the Lannister twins (inadvertantly meeting his own future murderer - 🚨 kill bill sirens 🚨 ), and welcomes all. Generally just appears a bit too upbeat for a funeral, because as a human being he is just fundamentally Off

The funeral: burning Jaehaerys’ body in a ‘manmade pyre’. Aerys mumbles they used to have dragons for this, the implication being that there’s something faintly undignified about this for a Targaryen. Rhaella weeps, and Rhaegar stares hard into the flames because he is a weird 👏 kid 👏

Rhaella and Joanna take a walk through the gardens of the Red Keep. Rhaella implies having noticed Aerys’ behaviour towards her, and that she has noticed it before. Joanna quietly asserts that she does not invite it. Rhaella says she knows - Aerys is like that

Aerys and Tywin meet for post-funeral drinks in Aerys’ solar. Aerys comments that he finds Rhaegar kind of strange and bookish, and believes he has too much of his mother in him. More generally, we see both the familiar and the fractious in how Aerys and Tywin engage, and have some sense of the two being childhood friends (insofar as either of these men even know what a friend is ❤️). Aerys offers the position of Hand to Tywin. Tywin plays a little hard to get, but ultimately agrees. A rare Tywin smile is witnessed x

The coronation: Targ aesthetic dialled up to eleven, because I imagine the more insecure Targaryen kings would cling to it in the absence of dragons. Aerys passes the dragon skulls on his way to the throne (some heavy-handed visual foreshadowing by urs truly xo). Watching on are the heads of the greathouses and their young scions: Aerys death stands all about him in the room, even if he doesn’t know it yet. Rhaella too receives a crown, and somehow doesn’t looked thrilled about it

Final scene sees Rhaegar sitting crosslegged on the floor of his bedchamber with a book and a candle, singing a Valyrian song to himself - the words are not translated

_____ 

A few of your favourite postcards from Dean - from the six years you were apart. 

___________________________________

Hey Y/N, 

What do you write on a postcard? 

Dean

P.S. I picked up a stack of these at a rest stop on the way to Sioux Falls and I thought you'd like some old school snail-mail. I'm aware that your parents and the mailman will probably read this too, so... I'm sorry I got your daughter into trouble and now she has- what, ten hours of community service left? But, she's kind of a badass and saved my life so don't go too hard on her. 

P.P.S. And to the mailman: Not cool, dude. 

___________________________________

Dear Y/N, 

Sam told me to start these with 'Dear' instead of 'Hey', I kind of like the way it sounds so I let him be right for once. Bobby and Jody are pretty cool, they won't even let me pay rent so we can save more money. We'll have a place of our own in no time now. 

xo Dean 

P.S. I hope the 'x' is okay, if not I blame Sam. If so, it was all my idea. You can't tell but I just winked at you. 

P.P.S. It's my birthday and Jody made me a cherry pie! It was so good, I had every intention of saving you a piece but now I'll just have to learn how to make one for you instead. Can't wait for your phone call tonight so I can tell you all about it. 

___________________________________

Dear Y/N, 

It took a little longer than I thought but we just moved into our own apartment! It's closer to Sam's college but we can still visit Bobby and Jody with a short car ride. 

xo Dean 

P.S. Think you'll come visit me on your gap year? 

___________________________________

Dear Y/N, 

It snowed today! And I'm making pasta tonight. You can drool over it via video chat later. I wish we were in the same time zone so you could ring in the new year with me too. 

I’m missing you a lot lately,  xo Dean 

P.S. I'm sending you a big fat kiss. You can put it where you want it. X 

P.P.S. To the mailman: Get your mind out of the gutter. She's a lady! 

___________________________________

Dear Y/N, 

I'm seriously craving Donna's mocha ice cream right now. I think it would go great with Jody’s cherry pie recipe. Don't knock it till you try it! 

xo Dean

P.S. Sam hasn't stopped playing that playlist you made him for studying. I swear you have the worst taste in music. I'm going to make you a playlist tonight. 

___________________________________

Dear Y/N, 

I think I like the mountains on this postcard best, we should take a roadtrip there together, maybe next Valentine’s day? 

x Dean 

P.S. I don't like airplanes. 

P.P.S. But I'm going to take you to all the places on these postcards some day. 

P.P.P.S. I hope you're still pinning these postcards to your wall so you can hold them over my head some day. 

___________________________________

Dear Y/N, 

I'm sorry. 

xx Dean 

P.S. If I could have one superpower it would be the ability to control the weather. 

P.P.S. Getting snowed in would be a lot more fun WITH you. 

P.P.P.S. Maybe my superpower should’ve been teleportation! Damn it, is it too late to change my answer? 

___________________________________

Dear Y/N, 

I just dropped Sam off for his first year of law school. I feel old. Luckily, he got another scholarship though, so I don't have to worry about paying his tuition. Kid's a major nerd. 

x Dean 

P.S. I'm actually in California! The salt air here makes me think of home, of you. You feel so far away right now. I'm not even looking at the same ocean. That sucks. 

P.P.S. We haven't talked in a while and I know that's mostly my fault, but I wanted to give you a heads up. I'm coming home... Soon. 

___________________________________

Dear Y/N, 

Did you notice there's no stamp? 

Always yours, 

xoxo Dean 

P.S. I was going to tell you to meet me where I first kissed you but that's a hell of a walk. So meet me under our streetlamp. The one where you put ice cream on my nose the first night we met. 

P.P.S. I hope you come, I can't wait to see you. But I understand and no hard feelings if you don't.

[planeteroticaaa]

obviouslyy there’s isn’t a “no” option because i plan to do this anyways because the amount of idea’s i have when listening to these songs on repeat is driving me fucking crazy—

like i’d probably have it like my last gojo drabble, but a forming situationship of two ig “players” who almost know nothing about each other, but still want each other for themselves though refuse to settle down (making it a BIT toxic) in more depth than i had it last time (of course that’s not it, but that’s the basics)! might even throw some x geto in there to piss of gojo like what are we thinking??

and if yall think THAT’S a good idea, this is totally random but, just wait till i put my kiss land oneshot collection idea in plan for the aot men. it’s the same concept as my eren yeager oneshot inspired by the weeknd’s kiss land song, but it’s different scenerioes with different characters, inspired by each song in the album! oh i can’t wait until i have a long ass break from school and a new computer. . .

is it a bit TOO obvious i’m an XO girl😓

[s1ut4adamstanheight]

Write some dad bod adam

dude I'm sorry I'm seeing this so much later than when you asked im actually dumb but I gotchu xo ALSO kinda nsfw btw

Adam stanheight x reader (short)

It was a Sunday afternoon and I've just finished getting ready for the day, I woke up early to go to the gym with my boyfriend Adam but we both decided to blow it off and sleep till the afternoon. We wanted to go after realizing how chub we both gotten from the holidays - and honestly Adam has gained a bit of weight since the trap. Just stress eating and depression, nothing wrong with it, personally I love it but I just don't like how he got it, so I figured why not go out and get to the gym, we can be healthier people together. Usually we go a few times a week - until today - we stayed up late and considering how consistent we've been, we deserve a break.

I just finished making Adam and I some tea as I head back into the bedroom where Adam was still in bed.

"here you go lazy" I smile and hand him his mug, my eyes go to his shirtless chest making me smirk.

He groans and sits up "thanks sweetie", that nickname gives me butterflies every time.

I sit down infant of him on the bed and sip my tea.

"you know I feel kinda bad skipping the gym today, but sleeping in was totally worth it." Adam says before putting his mug down.

"oh dude totally." I nod.

He stretches his arms out and looks at me before grabbing the mug from my hand and placing it beside his on the bedside table.

"you know, we could still work out here." he runs his hands up my waist and to my neck where he pulls me in for a kiss.

I smile into the kiss and pull away looking at his sleepy dark eyes,

"yeah?" I say smiling, inches away from his hovering lips.

"uh huh.." he slowly kisses my cheek and moves his way down to my neck.

"Adam your gonna kiss away my makeup," My hands go up to his cheeks holding him and he kisses me neck and cheeks.

He looks back up at me smirking, "yeah yeah, you can fix it later, come'mere." He pulls my hips onto his lap then runs his hands down my thighs.

"ugh if you insist." jokingly I roll my eyes and kiss him.

His lips are the best thing to wake up to in the morning, my mind goes blank as he kisses me slowly and passionately, he bites me lip before going back In intensely.

I moan quietly while my hands travel down his stomach, I love hoe he's bigger than me, more overpowering and strong. He can easily move and throw me around and I love it.

Adam pulls away from the kiss to look at me.

"You always get me so riled up in the morning," he smiles and rests his head up against the wall behind him.

"oh I can tell," I smirk "I can feel it." I move my hips and feel him under me, teasing me with every move.

"I can help youuu" I say tilting my head while holding his cheeks.

"really?'' he says coming back to my face.

''what do you want to do?'' his hand hols my cheek and slowly moves his thumb over my pink lipglosses lips that Adam has now smudged, his thumb pulls my bottom lip down before kissing me again.

he smells like cologne and cigarettes, the perfect ingredients for sexy. His smells turns me on - making him so hard to resist, but his kisses distract me from taking this moment further.

"Adam your distracting me, don't you want help"

he smiles and kisses my cheek before looking at me.

"your letting me distract you, thought you were gonna help me work out" He says with a jokingly confused face.

"you can help me out in the shower, cmon."

"I already show-" Before I could finish he picks me up, carrying bridal style to the bathroom making me giggle.

"adaaaam!"

"you can be extra clean! I can help you wash" He says raising his eyebrows convincingly.

"oh shut up." he finally lets me down while I roll my eyes.

He closes the bathroom door then walks over to me.

Adam holds my waist bringing him to his chest, our lips close.

"you ready to workout?'' he asks before moving his hands under my shirt.

"uh huh." I smile and kiss him.

SORRY IF I LEFT ON A CLIFFHANGER IM LAZY BUT IF U WANT MORE LET ME KNOW ILL TRY MY BEST.

AND SEND MORE REQUESTS IF ANYONE WANTS - I PROMISE TO ACTUALLY LOOK THIS TIME HA

Chris or whoever of his characters makes his GF's birthday special because it hasn't been in a long time

Best Birthday Ever

A/N: A couple of things, Firstly, Chris, if you're reading this, this is my dream birthday. Secondly, rewatching glee so shameless plug for what I think is the best cover ever. Thirdly, the dress. OMG. Actually why am I spoiling this, read the story you're going to love it. That's all. TY 💕

The anxiety swirled in your stomach when a glorious bouquet of flowers arrived at your desk. You sighed opening the card already knowing who it was from.

1 day till the big day, get excited. Xo Chris

The big day in question was your birthday. You learnt long ago to not get excited about your birthday. Yeah you’ll get a gift from your mom, a card from your grandma and a bunch of flowers from your bestie and maybe if you’re lucky a few Happy Birthday texts from some friends but ever since your 21st birthday in which only 10 people showed up out of the 30 you invited all feigning excuses of being away, sick or celebrating some distant aunts wedding anniversary you have since tried to avoid making a big deal of the day all together. You found it best to just save yourself the embarrassment. 

Chris, on the other hand, had been buying a gift every day from the 1st of this month leading up to it. Chocolates, flowers, making special dinners, little, small gifts like jewellery, perfume, plants or quirky knick knacks for your desk. In his opinion, one day wasn’t enough for you and you need to celebrate the whole month. 

While you appreciated the gesture and enjoyed the curious enquiry with a subtle envy from the girls in your office about the beautiful bouquet. You really just wanted to snuggle on the couch with Dodger, watching a movie, maybe even get super crazy and crack open a pint of Ben & Jerry’s… birthday cake flavour of course. Besides, all your besties from college were scattered around the world and your family a good 12-hour flight away. 

You arrived home, throwing your keys in the bowl and shrugging off your coat. 

“Honey, that you?” Chris came bounding down the stairs, Dodger in tow. 

“Hey baby… did you get my surprise.” 

“I did thank you they were beautiful.” Closing the space between you, wrapping your arms around his waist. 

“I want to skip my birthday.” You looked up at him, resting your chin on his chest. 

“Oh, come on baby, you’re not that old. Look at me! I found 10 more greys in my beard. 10! That’s 10 more since last week.”

You chuckled rubbing his beard into your hands.

“It’s not about getting old. It’s just the day itself is never that good for me.”

“Well, I’m going to change that.”

“Oh really?” You questioned him.

“Yeah really, tomorrow night we are going out.”

“Argh do I have to? Can’t we just stay in and watch that new Netflix movie.”

“No arguments. Please, you have to trust me on this.”  

“Ok, fine, I trust you.”

You wake up, to the soft singing of Happy Birthday, opening your eyes, there was your gorgeous boyfriend, in nothing but his boxers, holding a singular cupcake and lit candle in his hand in the doorway. You sat up as he walked towards you shielding the flame with his other hand. Dodger jumped on the bed, smothering you with kisses.

“Happy Birthday to you…��� Chris finished his serenade.

“Make a wish beautiful.” You blew out the candle

You wished for the best birthday ever. 

He leaned down, grabbing your cheek, pulling you into a long, passionate kiss. 

Placing the cupcake on your bedside table.

“And now for the best part… Birthday sex.” He beamed. You couldn’t contain your giggles as he tackled you back down into the sheets. 

Your workday went by breezy with more cake, more Happy Birthday singing and more jokes about getting older but not wiser, 

That was until you got a string of calls:

The first from your mom saying she was sorry she couldn’t be there, but she’d bring your gift next time she sees you. 

Then from your best friend, who understandably, couldn’t go halfway around the world for a singular day but you should expect a package at your door. 

Then a group call from your college girlfriends who were either working or caught up with the kids but who had all pitched in to get you a voucher to your favourite restaurant and wanted to make sure you had a drink on them.

And finally, texts from your siblings and cousins, with Happy Birthdays and Love you’s but no promises to visit anytime soon. Ya know life is crazy busy etc. 

It was fine. Totally fine. You still had tonight with Chris. This thought didn’t stop you from shedding a few tears on the toilet at work. Why would you even assume that anyone in your life cared that much to travel to see you just for an irrelevant birthday. You were delusional. But after tonight the day was over and you didn’t have to go through this again for another year. 

At least they remembered, I guess. You sighed, wiping your eyes with toilet paper. 

You got home and continued your same routine, keys in bowl, coat on rack. But no Chris and just Dodger sitting at your feet.

“Where’s daddy Dodge?” The pup crocked his head in confusion, letting out a little whine.

Great. Not here. And not even a text. You figured he had a sudden work thing pop up and would be back shortly. 

You went upstairs to your bedroom, hoping to lie down before you had to get ready. When you noticed the large box on your bed with a card on top, addressed to you, naturally, it was your birthday after all and any box with a bow on your birthday is instantly yours.

You opened the letter, immediately noticing Chris’s handwriting. 

  Y/N, 

  Put this on. Car is arriving out the front at 7. Be ready by then. I had to pop out to run errands and will meet you at the restaurant. Love you, Chris. 

You thought it was sweet he got you a car, but you were a little disappointed he couldn’t take you there. Your disappointment quickly disappeared though when you saw the dress in the box. 

You gasped at the sight of the shiny dress with feathers on the hem. Holding it up, you didn’t even want to guess how much it cost, not to mention the matching bag and shoes that came with it in the box.

Excited to put on the opulent garment you jumped in the shower, taking your time getting ready knowing you had 2 hours, you blow dried your hair and used all your best makeup products. Finally, you slipped on the dress.

“OMG it has POCKETS!” You admired yourself in the mirror, repeating the action of slipping your hands in and out.

The tightness of the dress engulfed your curves, showing a decent amount of cleavage and the noticeable bump of your ass.

Chris definitely chose this dress.

You got a text on your phone telling you the car was out front, so you grabbed your bag, gave Dodger a kiss and made your way outside. 

The driver stood outside the black Mercedes. 

‘Happy Birthday ma’am.” He tipped his hat as he opened the passenger door, holding your hand as you scooted in carefully. “Thank you.” You smiled at him.

Champagne. Thank God. You gulped down the glass as you sat in anticipation of what Chris had planned. 

Finally, you arrived at the fancy bistro, making your way inside, the whole place was empty which was unusual for the Michelin star restaurant, on a Friday night none the less.

There he was. Sitting at a table right in the middle of the room. He looked drool worthy in his smart outfit, his khaki shirt slightly unbuttoned revealing his gold chain and a peak of his tattoos.

He finally looked up and caught your eye, jumping from his seat and straightening his tie, holding out his arms for you.

“There she is!”

He pulled your hand and spun you around, getting a full 360 of the dress.

“God, it looks even better on you.”

“I love it so much, thank you it’s the best gift ever” You wrapped your arms around his neck.

“That’s not your surprise but I’m glad you like it.” 

  What else could this man have possibly install for you?

The waiter immediately brought out your starter. You sat and ate, devouring all your favourite foods cooked to perfection, platter by platter. 

Chris looked at his watch 8:32. 

“Shit we are late, come on, get up.” 

“What are you talking about, we haven’t even had dessert yet!”

Chris fumbled with his words “I’ve got something different planned for dessert come on.” He coaxed you out of your seat. You made your way towards the door you came through, Chris pulled on your arm back.

“No, we aren’t going that way, over here.”

Walking towards the back of the restaurant, Chris lead you towards an inconspicuous black exit door. 

“Chris we can’t go through here!”

“You wanna bet?” He said as he opened the door, revealing the best thing you have ever seen.

The door opened to a beautiful courtyard, covered in fairy lights. 

  In it stood:

  Your mom, 

  Your dad, 

  Your siblings,

  Your cousins, 

  Aunties, uncles, grandparents,

  Your whole friendship group from college with their significant others and kids. 

All of you and Chris's mutual friends.

  Heck, even your work friends. 

  And of course, 

  your best friend.

  All in one place, for you. 

“SURPRISE!”  They all shouted at you. 

You almost bowled over in shock but not before your bestie ran up and engulfed you in a hug.

“But you all said… I thought… with the travel… and the cost of plane tickets…and… you-“

“Chris flew us all over here, sorted everything down to accommodation, travel, babysitting, food even drinks!” She beamed, shaking a cocktail in her hand.  

“You did all this?” You turned around to your boyfriend, standing sheepishly, his hands behind his back.

“Yeah, it took a bit of rearranging and months of planning but yeah I did.” He smiled

You practically jumped on him, unable to wrap your legs around his waist due to the dress. He lifted you off the ground, hugging you back.

  “Thank you.” You whispered in his neck. 

  “Nothing’s too much for you babe.”

  “Best. Birthday. Ever. And it’s all thanks to you.”

“There’s one more thing.” He gestured to his right; a choir had formed into positions all dressed in black. 

And then they started to sing. 

Your favourite Glee cover. Sung by a professional choir. No fucking way. Tears started to well in your eyes from joy as you felt a strong arm wrap around your waist. You looked up at the beaming man who leaned close to your ear.

“Told ya to trust me.”

You spent the night, catching up with friends you hadn’t seen in months, drinking from bottles of expensive French champagne, dancing like crazy and telling Chris a billion times over how much you loved him. 

Your birthday extended all the way to 5am in the morning and you wondered how he was going to top this next year…

For both Rowan and Ags, from that latest ask game:

1, 5, 8, and 10, plus the additional questions of "What’s the thing they’re into that they’re most embarrassed/conflicted about?" (Hobbies, interests, kinks, etc)

( @is-the-battlemech-cool-or-not )

1. What is the character’s go-to drink order? (this one gets into how do they like to be publicly perceived, because there is always some level of theatricality to ordering drinks at a bar/resturant)

R: context, baybe! Am i at a merc bar? Timbiqui Dark. I hate the stuff to be honest, but one has to keep up appearances.

Drinking on someone else's dime? Call me old fashioned, but i do enjoy an Old Fashioned. I like'em fixed with maraschino, and give the glass a spritz of absinthe before you pour. Fun fact: a surprising number of bartenders dont know that maraschino is a liqueur, and put a bouquet of fuckin cherries in your drink. Tha dinguses.

At home? I'll keep it simple, usually some combo of soda + spirits. Im particuarly fond of sasparilla and Yukon Jack.

A. I enjoy my drinks hot, not cold. Coffee with tequilla, hot coco with tequilla, tea with tequilla... you get the picture.

5. What was the last time they cried, and under what circumstances? (Good way to get some *emotional* backstory in.) 

R: my pride wants me to say it was at my mamma's teat, but... nah, lets drop the kayfabe for a sec and be real here. I cry, a whole fuckin' lot more than i admit, and nowhere near as much as i should. We joke and pal around and measure our dicks at each other, but in the end? We kill people. We visit incredible violence on our fellow human beings, and that should take a toll. And if it ever stops taking a toll? Its time to retire.

That doesn't exactly answer the question, so... last time i cried was a few nights ago. @is-the-battlemech-cool-or-not was gettin' me up to speed on the hundred years of history i missed out on, and i managed to hold it all together till i got back to my bunk. And then i broke down sobbing. Part of that was just, pent up stress from the goddamn meatgrinder of the Clan invasion. I lost almost everything- the war, half our company, nearly everyone we knew outside of that shitty ass Invader that misjumped us here.

But hell, y'know what? Ive still got that other half of my company. I still have Agata and Joana, i still got most of Fursona's Fusiliers around. Hell, i'm even reignitin' something with Remus... look, all those good things, that ive still got? Cried for that, too. It aint all gotta be tears of sorrow, you can cry for the good things too.

A: August 20th, 3028. Got pepper sprayed at Melissa and Hanse's wedding.

8. Describe the place where they sleep. (ie what does their safe space look like. How much (or how little) care / decoration / personal touch goes into it.)

R: whoo boy. Just cleared out ol' Ronnie's quarters on the Pony. Its not got much decoration yet, just the barebones cot and whatnot. Lots of stab marks in the walls and furniture from when i get bored...Kept his desk though- solid oak, from Samantha. And uhh... maybe a couple of pinups of Kamea Arano... and Candace Liao... and Hanse Davion... and-

A: Like Rowan, I've just moved quarters- her old room in fact, since I'm the XO now. I have my rock collection up on some shelves I put in- I like to get one rock from each celestial body I visit, unique if possible. Theres also stab marks all over the place that I'm filling in, thanks for that by the way Rowan.

10. What objects do they always carry around with them? (What do they need for their normal, day-to-day routine? What does ‘normal’ even look like for them.) 

R: Pistol, hormones, sunglasses. In that order.

A: I no longer have my katana from my time in the DCMS, but I do still have the wakizashi that paired with it. I still wear it, for luck.

Bonus: What’s the thing they’re into that they’re most embarrassed/conflicted about? (Hobbies, interests, kinks, etc. Gets into self-image vs how they want to be perceived vs what compels them anyway, plus backstory.)

R: Conflicted, specifically. The tough-as-nails merc persona is... its hard to keep up sometimes. I want to be vulnerable around those I love, but i have trouble turning the macho down. Its paid in dividends, over the years, in bonus c-bills made and fights avoided, but it's also taken its toll on me. And... i didnt let myself feel what i wanted to feel around someone who i now realized i loved- and still love- very much.

A: Sometimes, on my worst nights, I- I still think about my time in the DCMS. And its like I'm still there, never left, and couldnt leave if I wanted. And I dont feel scared or trapped by my superiors or my culture, or horrified by the things I'd done for the Combine. I dont feel anything but mild pride and nostalgia. I don't like those being the things I feel about that time.

hey it’s tomie, today as my first post i wanna talk about how we people tend to do things harder than they actually are this not only applying to shifting. Hope this help you!

We as humans for some reason we tend to do things difficult than they are and one of the best examples i can give to you is shifting. Back in 2019-2020 people used to say that you needed a whole routine just to shift that now looking back sounds rlly stupid. I’m sure we all have heard stories about how people shift out of thin air so, why we keep complicate things if other people can do it that way, why wouldn’t you be capable of that? what is so different about you and me? It’s all about what we believe it’s true.

I’m sure i’m not saying anything new if you’re chronically online at the shifting community but sometimes we tend to forget the basics. How do you want to shift if you don’t believe that you’re capable? cause if you don’t truly believe that this is real and that you’re 100% capable just like any other human being idk why you just don’t quit yet. I know it can be hard sometimes cause we tend to give much importance to external things like time or excuses saying things like “I been trying to shift for 2 years now and nothing”, “I can’t shift cause it’s hard for me to concentrate” and all that bs we all have heard forgetting the main point that is SHIFT. You don’t need to be perfect to shift, you don’t need subliminals, methods or any other things that the shifting community have tell you that will help you magically shift. Of course this things help but they are not necessary all you need to do is believe in yourself, believe that you’re fully capable to shift just like any other person, believe in YOUR POWER.

I know how hard is to convince yourself that you’re capable cause i’ve been there before, but if you don’t do it for yourself, no one’s gonna do it for you, sorry to tell you this but nothings gonna make you magically shift if you don’t believe that you’re capable.

𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒅𝒐 𝒊 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒎𝒚𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊’𝒎 𝒄𝒂𝒑𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒕𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒆?

easy, changing your self concept, repeat affirmations until no one can made you change what you believe about yourself, and how someone very wise said one time ‘you have to fake it till you make it’. A lot of people have talk about this before but is not bad to remind you about how capable you are. SHIFTING IS NOT HARD IF YOU BELIEVE THAT IS NOT!!!, stop torturing yourself making things difficult.

hope this helps you made things a little bit clearer, feel free to ask any questions! xo tomie

Hi anon. It's rainy and cold where I live so yes I have to stay warm. Also hun no I don't never claim to know either. I have gut feelings like Leroy Jethro Gibbs and that's the most I got. // oh dear. Stay warm! Thank you for responding. You’re always so nice and I love your blog. It’s a shame none of us are side-kick and have visions like Raven on That’s so Raven and we can see the future with this shitshow. Love and hugs. Xo

My love

How you treat people is a reflection of how you were raised as a child. I treat people with respect till they treat me badly, then and only till then, do I give them a piece of my mind. In this life you have to learn to fight for yourself and the little boy or girl that still lives within you.

Hugs and kisses right back at you

Xoxo. Gossip girl💋

Initiation - The Weeknd

Oh, yeah

Got you drinking out them white cups, sodas

All this shit sounds foreign to you, thick smoke, choking

Baby, get familiar with the order

Just crack it, then pour it, then sip slow, then tip low

My eyes red, but my brim low

That XO, she climbing

Straight to the top, forget why she there in the first place

No more crying, heart rate's low, put that rum down you don't wanna die tonight

I promise, when you're finished, we'll head to where I'm living

The party won't finish, it's a fucking celebration

Oh, yeah

For my niggas out tonight and they high off Shakespeare lines

There's enough to pass around, you ain't gotta wait in line

And the clocks don't work, you don't gotta check the time

And the blinds don't work, you don't gotta check the sky

We be going all night, 'till light

I got a test for you

You say you want my heart

Well baby, you can have it all

There's just something I need from you

Is to meet my boys

You've been going hard, baby

Now you rolling with some big boys, baby

Got a lot you wanna show off, baby

Close that door before you take your fucking clothes off, baby

Don't mind all my writings on the wall

I thought I passed my peak and I'll experience some fall

And all I wanna do is leave 'cause I've been zoning for a week

And I ain't left this little room, trying to concentrate to breathe

'Cause this piff so potent, killing serotonin

In that two-floor loft in the middle

We be choking on that

All black voodoo, got me gum chewing

Call one of your best friends

Baby, if you mixing up cup of that XO

Baby, I been leaning

Back from the come down

Girl, I been fiending

For another round, don't you blame it on me

When you're grinding up them teeth and it's fucking hard to sleep

I got a test for you

You say you want my heart

Well baby, you can have it all

There's just something that I need from you

Is to meet my boys

I got a lot of boys

And we can make you right

And if you get too high,

Baby, come over here and ride it out, ride it out

Work that back 'till I tire out

Roll that weed, blow the fire out

Taste that lean when you kiss my mouth

Get so wet when I eat you out

Girlfriend screaming that I'm creeping out

If they're not down, better keep em out

Ex-man hollering, keep him out

Hard to let go, I could teach you how

Take a puff of this motherfucking weed for now

Take a shot of this cognac, ease you out

Just one night, trying to fucking leave you out

Baby, baby

I got a test for you

You say you want my heart

Well baby, you can have it all

There's just something I need from you

Is to meet my boys

I got a lot of boys

And we can make you right

And if you get too high,

Baby, come over here and ride it out (ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah)

Come over here and ride it out (ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah)

off the bat XO, Kitty has a lot of potential. i saw where they were going with it, they tried so hard to make it like a kdrama, where you think one thing, or miscommunication trope, or the enemies x lovers trope, or the villain is actually a good person: all that aside, it failed in many ways. the miscommunication thing was a lot. it made me not really ship dae and her at all. like AT ALL. throughout this whole struggle for her to get to him, and finally end up with him, it felt like uGh bruh are we deadass?? their breakup was ill timed too, but i loved the ending speech. (i have not finished the last episode because i refuse to watch her board that plane)

i had a hard time shipping dae with her in the first place which i think the writers did intentionally because they wanted the audience to engage with the other possible people: Yuri and Min Ho. and you can see the appeal off the bat. i think the bumping into people trope got way too lost in the sauce, and Yuri letting her into the car just cause was absolutely stupid: to sell a “bad girl” villain, you gotta do better but they kept making you want to like her so it was obvious right off the bat we needed to keep an open mind about her. and then, min ho, he was our straight bait. like off the bat every audience member can say without a doubt that min ho is sexy asf. i can say it. we all can tell. he was obviously the other catch. the run in at the grocery store, the cooking for her, the giving her space thing, that was what sold it.

what this show did was rush things, yes. a lot of the tropes are cliche and a bit run, but what the show did succeed on was make the characters lovable. dae is adorable. his soft voice and endearing smile, and Q being the sweet one who happens to be an athlete and our bby gay, and min ho who is like a cat, where once he warms up to you, he lets you pet him, and yuri being our badass lesbian goddess: all these characters great. showing how some koreaboo went to KISS and the show making fun of that was good, but there were times where she was on screen and it was unbearable, like ugh, poor actress who had to play this :( , but also i loved the soundtrack, like these bitches paid MONEY for blackpink and itzy to pop up.

i feel like they rushed though all and all. but i will say this and it might be unpopular. i’m queer and i loved that kitty was figuring herself out. i needed that. it healed something in me because she realized at 17. i was closeted and pushed away my feelings for a girl being petty or feeling a tummy butterflies thing till like college. so this? was relatable af. yet, i still chose to ship min ho x kitty. why? because netflix set it up that way. you KNOW yuri is head strong. she’s after julianna and like the show kept saying, not everything is on kitty’s timetable. kitty getting rejected is bound to happen. i’m glad she fell for yuri and the connected on such a deep level: that’s a real crush and real feelings, but you see the parallels to peter kavinsky and min ho. the mom thing, the suddenly knows things about you, the “not surface level” deep, the “id rather move on with a koreaboo than face my feelings for my friends ex, and even when they get together, i still avoid my feelings because that’s what i do as a troubled lead man” thing. i ship them, i’m sorry. and i hate myself for it but i do ship it.

—my hypothesis is that something next season is gonna happen between kitty having to choose between Yuri and Min Ho. do i agree with this tho? no. —

i disagree with how netflix set up this ship. they give her bi awakening and already set her up for the straight ship. that’s why i’m not surprised. that’s why i knew to ship min ho and kitty together. netflix may say they are for the ppl but they will give the bare minimum. and this is not to say that this makes kitty less bi, no it doesn’t, and this is not to shame bi babes who are in heteronormative relationships, but it’s a reflection and call out to how netflix shaped this. if next season she doesn’t end up with yuri, you know why.

i’m rambling now. but my main point was that they rushed things. they rushed all these deep moments, they added too many plot twists in the season like a kdrama does (but kdramas actually make it good), and they rushed the way people fell for each other. i wish there was a bigger backstory to julianna and how they fell in love . how dae knew the comfort sock thing, the reason why min ho had divorced parents: how that affected him, and making Q a bit more dimensional. i hate when they include a gay character and only make it about them being gay. you only see him date florian, you don’t really get to know Q outside of his quest for Florian and his relationship with him. and even the talks he had with kitty were revolved around men. like bffr. i loved his character on Love, Victor and the undersold Anthony’s acting abilities in this one :(

overall i needed more from this show and i will finish the remaining minutes soon, but yeah. i think kitty’s bi experience was exceptional and beautiful, but the way that the show is setting up it’s love interests, you can see where this shit is going. i’m hoping kitty ends up with yuri, but at the end of the day i know it’s gonna be min ho, and he was played so well and became such a likeable character that i don’t mind shipping it and that’s when the inner conflict is where it doesn’t change the fact that kitty might be bi or pan, but that netflix acknowledges is and still sets her up in a heteronormative society welcomed relationship instead of the one like Yuri’s pushing the boundaries of South Korea one step at a time with interracial love and lesbianism <3

Bella hadid was at her best and brightest when she was with the weeknd. She had like the perfect level of fame. Wasnt regarded as cringey like she is now. Her fashion was still really bad sometimes but wayy better than now. Idk she just looked very alive dating like. A “cool guy” someone that makes music hes known for the edgy lifestyle XO till we overdose i was a huge stan of his back then like. Bella had THE PERFECTTTT public image as his gf. Both bella and the weeknd are like objectively popular cool theyre celebrities obviously etc but they do have outsider energy and just like. Matched each others vibes and were like power coupleeee.

[eviltiddyprodnz]

xo kitty : episode 6

the straight out of wattapad scene about has begun but at least it going viral on twitter prepared me for it

also not that bad! they look cute

a man cooks for you once and you have a sex dream about him

but to be fair he was there for her dinner and dae and her weren't even talking lol

at least she sent him a note and a necklace (which he doesn't know about bc damn you Yuri)

is Alex steaming his face in the morning 💀

my girl kitty jumping on a man when she hasn't kissed is so real

the dialogue delivery isn't the worst but 'you're too bloody hot' made me bust out laughing 😭

also do American people actually say bloody as a swear word ever? I've only heard it here in India and the UK

how do actors do this

IT WAS HIS DREAM !??? i take everything back. slay kitty 😭😭😭

she helped him as he was having a lactose intolerance incident and got him another date and now he wants to kiss her💀

Alex bringing kitty back to earth. #real

Study a bit sister, you're failing your Korean Snape's classes 😭

How is any of this for your mom?

Q keeping it real too.

Korean actually sounds so calming.

But i still don't know why Yuri hid the necklace. 😭 Like do you want to be Dae's bestie too? You'll have to fight Minho for that. And if you like him... go ahead i guess but still terrible.

Minho threw a rager to sit on a chair and have drinks with his friend. He's just like me fr

This Kitty scene reminds me of the Nadia scene in elite.

straightened her hair, got in a black dress and is ready to kiss somebody !!! exactly Kitty!!!

Minho is so unserious 😭 adorable

Dae has frozen. Dae exe has stopped working

The way Dae doesn't even know. His sad face is so adorable that I actually feel bad 💀 you're the one who dumped her !

Kitty is the hottest girl now?! slay

everybody's got a flask. babe this guy looks kinda sus though. not my inner mom coming out

disgusting ! Yuri getting dragged by this man. I know Kitty will shut him up but i hope Yuri hears it before taking her fuck Kitty agenda further.

exactly sister! get him

damn Kitty being able to match everyone but herself 😭

either my ears are gone or the sound mixing in this show is lazy because why are Yuri and Dae's voices standing out in silence at a party ??

slay Dae

Dae likes Yuri now 😭😭😭 go to hell

can't even ship you with Kitty now

Okay as a friend

Kitty going through it again 😭😭😭 why is she having the toughest time ???

Peter actually was kinda always there for Lara Jean. my girl has just been toughing it out here 😭

Now she's drunk calling Alex

She texted Professor Lee. Please drown me. Right now. And the creepy guy hitting on her is here.

Oh Professor Lee has read the text, Alex is going to rightfully kill her.

Yuri coming in clutch for Kitty

Dae putting 2 and 2 together but I'm worried that with the Professor Lee text everyone and their mama is about to get in trouble.

Save Kitty!!!

Prof Lee just rude as hell lmao, i hope he got humbled by the fact that no one heard him. Booooo!!!

Everybody wants to rule the world and these 2 people just forget they're here to bust there students. literally what was up with this debate group. who are Alex' parents ? because Yuri's mom is giving Lee serious love eyes

Kitty adoring Yuri, slay

Miscommunication afoot bad 😭😭😭 stop it !!! Kitty thinks Dae loves Yuri, Dae whispering in Kitty's ears and Minho getting idk silent 🧐

he's making out with the Miller girl?! 😭

Dae will actually never ever deserve her to be honest. You haven't told her anything, broken up with her and she's confused and drunk now and you've left her alone again???? Oh wait he's confronting Yuri... on stage 💀

Is this a dream? Who's is it? Or is it real? we will never know till the next episode 🤩

[myfemininedivine]

hey bestie,

hope all is well in the neighborhood. I was rereading TPD as I do when I need a pick-me-up lol and I had a question.

Have you thought about writing a chapter where the cops start snooping around Fez and it creates a bit of drama between our favorite couple? like maybe Fez pushes away and Lexi clings on, etc. or something of the sorts?

Love and miss you. Hope you're taking care of yourself. can't wait till you post again (take ur time and heal yourself) xo

hi bestie!!!

the neighborhood doin okay!!! hope the neighborhood been good to u ♡ we love a pick-me-up :)

I have!! I got a rlly long angst chapter coming up real soon (nah bc at this point Im considering it a special since it's been a while) and it pokes somewhere between that, not exactly but deff external influenced with his work line. I kinda wanna one shot TPD spin off a more exclusive look into that though?? Even though toothpaste diaries is literally one shots LMAOO but the whole 'it's in the same universe/they have memory of previous chapters' makes it confusing w the timeline 😭

We trying! Been a while since I posted but imma get back to it bayybayy!! love love and miss miss u. take care. 💋
