Once more I need to be a massive school for good and evil movie hater. I feel like no one has acknowledged how tedros entire character has been wiped away and now he's just male in way of lesbian love intrest AND I HATE THAT.

Really stupid nitpick but wasn't this the medieval times why are they in victorian era clothing? I need to personally beat the wardrobe director with a pipe.

Also can people please like keep in mind that they are 13

Their decision making and the way they treat eachother lies heavily in that please ignore the movie where they look more like random college students.

What was the point in saying the whole you can't interact with eachother while they eat in the same dinning room 💀

Everytime I am reminded of this movie I begin to get the largest case of hateritis ever

Oh my god Tedros was so bland in the movie I literally forgot he was in it

They robbed my boy of every personality trait, every character flaw, his bullheadedness, him kicking beatrix’s bunny because she named it Teddy, his good test from Dovey that was drenched in red ink, his hatred and confusion over Agatha because she doesn’t fit within his narrow worldview

All of this was thrown aside in favour of making him this mind numbing my boring character. The average love interest in a ya novel no one will remember. The exchange of enemies to lovers for snarky sarcastic frenemies to lovers is infuriating to me.

I feel like with the wardrobe (and the set and the casting and the script and almost everything else) they went for aesthetics and luxury over actual consistency with the books. The time period is never explicitly mentioned in the books as far as I can remember but they literally had the Ever Never Handbook which had fully illustrated coloured images of the uniforms and the castles to go off of so there was no excuse for the poor costuming.

In terms of age the characters seem to be between 13 and 15. Though their exact age is never confirmed, they have to be below the maximum age of 16 as they would have been there for the reaping four years ago and, given how pure their souls are, they 100% would have been chosen. I prefer to think of them as like 14-15 because Tedros is described as having abs I think so he has to be at least around 15 and it would be weird if he liked a 13 year old. Also cuz of the description of Sophie having ‘long creamy legs’ feels weird if she’s too young. But you are correct: they have to be young- having adults play the characters makes their actions appear irrational instead of pretty normal given their ages. No one under the age of 18 acts rationally or maturely.

I will never not be a hater for this car crash of a movie

Strictly Professional

Corpse Husband x Reader (Gender Neutral)

Warnings: Swearing

Genre: HUMOR, Fluff, RPF (Real Person Fic)

Summary: A slip of the tongue leads Corpse to make an unexpected confession which leads to him getting lectured by his best friend. That’s all you need to know, the rest shall unfold before your eyes.

Requested by Anon. Hi dear! Thank you so much for your lovely request! I’m so sorry it’s been so long overdue but here it finally is and I really hope you come across it and read it. If so I hope you enjoy it! Love, Vy ❤

I’ve buried my head under my arms, resting it on my desk as my ears are still violated by the hollering coming from my headset. I don’t know what in me snapped out of nowhere or what caused the slip-up, but what matters is that it happened and now I’m in some hot water. I’m practically the soup everyone in this Discord call at the moment will be eating for dinner tonight, getting a real kick at my expense - some even having the audacity to be mad at me over it - ahem, Rae, ahem - but bottom line: I won’t live this down easily.

“Hey everyone! What did I miss?“ Sykkuno, who was running late and missed this entire debacle makes an appearance. If it were any other occasion, I’d be overjoyed to hear he’s finally joining us, but his question of what he had missed renders me only able to cringe and wait for my friends’ next move.

“Sykkuno!“ Rae exclaims ecstatically, “Oh, strap in, imma tell you what you missed...“

“No, you won’t tell him, Rae.“ Toast cuts her off, sounding uncharacteristically serious, especially when taken into account how hard he was laughing just a moment ago, “This is Corpse’s tale to tell, don’t spare him the shame of telling it one more time.“

And just when I thought this fucker would prove himself to be a true friend...

“Oof, this sounds serious...“ Sykkuno says to fill the silence I purposely let linger just so I don’t give these bullies the satisfaction of hearing my embarrassment all over again even though they inevitably will.

“It is...“ I sigh with a heavy heart, hiding my face in the palm of my hand, “It’s really bad and embarrassing and...I’d rather not retell it at all let alone for a second time, but here it goes...“ I inhale as much air as I can as a method of gaining confidence before I start talking, “So you know MGK and I made a song. Yeah well, we’re gonna be making a music video for it and I asked Rae to be in it. Thing is, I wanted to ask Y/N first. Buckle up, this is where it starts going downhill: ok so I went over to their place so we could just chit chat an marathon a few movies like we usually do over the weekends but I also wanted to bring up the whole ‘hey, wanna be in my music video’ thing but didn’t know how. Mind you, we were drinking beers this whole time, might’ve had a few too many actually. Ok, we definitely had a few too many, but back on track: as I was blabbering and stumbling over my words, nervous as all hell and unable to string the simple question inside my head, all Y/N did was tilt their head and smile at me. You know, the odd thing is it was a genuine smile, not a drunken grin like you’d expect from someone on their fourth beer bottle. And then, out of the blue, they had the audacity to hit me with: ‘You’re so cute’ and I just sat there frozen for a few seconds. I mean, my reaction was on point - who wouldn’t react like that if their crush told them they found them cute. Anyway - I was like ‘what?’ and then, out of an even bluer blue, they freaking kissed me. I nearly had a heart attack damn it!“

“And he never asked them to be in the DAYWALKER music video!“ Rae clearly couldn’t hold it in any longer.

“I didn’t get the time! I was out of there in the blink of an eye!“ I bark, feeling my face heating up with embarrassment and regret. God, I should never ask how stupid I can get because I keep surprising myself in the end with just how far my stupidity goes. It’s fucking insane.

“Oh God, poor Y/N.“ Sykkuno sighs, sounding only a tiny bit as though he’s about to laugh. I appreciate his self-control honestly, the rest of these fuckers were dying laughing as though our friends and my crush kissing me and me responding like I had an allergic reaction was the best joke to ever be told.

“Poor Y/N?“ I snap a little, “What about me?“

“Yeah, poor Y/N!“ Rae backs Sykkuno up, “Poor Y/N and poor me for the missed opportunity to me in a music video for a song of one of my best friends with another one of my best friends. Corpse, you better fix this!!“

“How?!“ I’m aware I sound desperate but I seriously wanna fix it just have no idea how to go about it. I mean, if this looney group of nine people over here don’t come up with a plan no one will so not all hope for me is dead just yet. Even if we all had only one braincell we’d still be able to figure it out - I mean, ten braincells ain’t as bad as it sounds. Truth be told, Y/N’s the real brain of the group and they’d most definitely be able to help me - so fuck the irony.

“Call them.“ Sykkuno suggests so casually as though it’s a no-brainer. I’d go as far as to say his nonchalance almost made me laugh. Has he forgotten who he’s talking to?

“No way.“ I turn that down real quick, unable to even imagine the course of that phone call without cringing.

“No, Sykkuno’s right, call them right here right now. Ask them to star in the music video and then swerve the conversation to that kiss.“ Charlie’s suddenly decided to join the torturing being preformed upon me over here.

“What will I even say? I have no idea what to tell them!“ I complain, aware that I sound like a tantrum-throwing toddler but it’s really not my fault.

“Corpse. Corpse dear, listen to me, follow each word I say really carefully, ok?“ Rae asks, her voice now pitched as though she’s addressing an actual child. Yeah, that’s her well-known way of mocking me. “How about you say the actual fucking words. You know: ‘Hey Y/N, MGK and I are making a music video for DAYWALKER, wanna be in it?’“

I sigh, clearly defeated.

I pull out my phone, muttering to the crowd I’m about to speak in front of to be quiet as I put the ringing call on speaker, sweating like a pig the whole time. The room has risen in temperature and this hoodie has thickened, providing more warmth that’s more suffocating than comforting when it’s a hundred degrees outside. Or when I’m about to talk to my crush after THAT incident.

“Hello?“ Y/N’s voice on the other side rips me from my thoughts’ grasp, reminding me I’m on a mission.

“Hey Y/N, what’s up?“ I reply a little too quickly. Not giving them the time to reply with anything, I continue: “Hey Y/N, MGK and I are making a music video for DAYWALKER, wanna be in it?“

DAMN IT WHY DID YOU HAVE TO SAY IT WORD FOR WORD?!?!

“Oh....“ They sound confused - and rightfully so - but then regain their composure finally, “I-I’d love to. Thanks for the opportunity, Corpse. I’m so happy you’ve made it so far. I’d be honored to be in the music video.“

Ok, that’s partial relief. Now - time for the second phase of this plan

“Uh....“ and there goes my whole vocabulary out the window, “You’re welcome.“

“Cool...cool...“ they mutter awkwardly, clearly looking for a way to end the call, “Um, by the way...this is strictly professional, right?“

No! No it’s not! Of course it isn’t! I’ve been head over heels for you for a year now, damn it!

“Of course, o-of course it is. No worries.“ I reply, once again, a little too quickly. Faster than I could’ve prevented it.

“Ok cool...well, text me the details....“ They once again trail off, hoping I’ll catch the hint.

And so I succumb.

“Will do.“ I sigh, “See ya.“

“See ya.“ They reply and hang up.

I’m left there staring at my phone screen with utter self-disappointment and frustration that’s so intense I cannot even express it in any way.

The whole lobby is at a loss of words too - all nine of them astonished by my stupidity. Fortunately though, Charlie is quick to pull himself together and speak up because God forbid Charlie ever falls speechless, then we’d be SERIOUSLY in danger.

“Corpse. You. Are. The. Biggest. Fucking. Idiot.“

SEVENTEEN- SCENARIO: HAVING AN ALT PARTNER (PERFORMANCE UNIT)

VOCAL • HIP HOP • PERFORMANCE

Last but most definitely not least, the boys with the moves 🙌🙌

again! don’t be shy, feel free to reach out or request!! I’d love to have some anon buddies lol. I promise I’m nice haha!!

also hi Jun’s is about kandi I had to self indulge a little lol (which is why it’s so long omg) I make kandi and it’s literally the best pastime and the culture around it is super cool too so I had to add it in haha!!

🌈🌈🌈!!!PLUR!!! 🌈🌈🌈

tw: food maybe (?)

JUN

• you guys met on complete accident

• he was walking to the company, you on your way home

• and he bumps into you and one of your bracelets hooks onto his bag and it snaps

• you’re both shocked by the sound, watching the beads bounce into the street while people shoved past you both, glaring at you both for blocking the way

• and even though Junhui is late he stoops down to pick up the beads

• you stop him quickly

• “don’t worry, I have more beads at home”

• and he’s like “wait woah you made this” because it’s intricate and pretty and a little pixel art cat that he accidentally ruined ):

• but he feels so bad, and wants to pay you back somehow cuz the bracelets are so cute and he broke one!!! he cannot get over it!!!

• even when you assure him it’s fine he looks so concerned you have to give in

• so you give him your number, telling him to text you when he can and you can work something out

• and at the company he considers it all day

• he, an idol, just got a number from someone on the street. all because he messed up and then insisted to be in your life

• was this a good idea?

• Seungcheol hears about it eventually, and says to give it a chance

• “your friends are in another country, Jun. make some here too. plus you’re stressed, and it’s probably best to get any weight off your shoulders you can.”

• and so he texts you

• and plan to go to a cat cafe (his treat) on his next day off

• when he walks into the cafe you greet him with a beaming smile

• “I have a gift for you.” You grin, pulling something out of your bag

• and like, Jun almost disagrees, like “no I’m supposed to be apologizing to you” but then be sees what you’re offering

• a little cat bracelet just like the one he broke the other day

• he reaches out for it but you shake your head

• “there’s a special way to do it, here.”

• you give him a rundown on the style of bracelet, called kandi

• and you explain they’re meant to be traded

• “and there’s a secret handshake to trade with, ok? just do what I do.”

• peace, love, unity…

• and he’s suddenly holding your hand

• you slip the bracelet onto his wrist before letting go, grinning as he examines his new accessory

• “I’m y/n, by the way.”

• “Junhui.”

• you chat and play with the cats that come to visit your table

• you take off one of your kandi rings at one point and gently loop it around one of the kittens’ paws

• Jun hasn’t had this much fun in a while, much less been in such a positive environment

• as you were bright and cheery as you made kissy noises at the cats to offer them snacks

• always had something new to say or observe

• and when it was time to leave he really didn’t want to go

• you don’t either, but you have an appointment you can’t miss

• so you promise to do it again soon, giving Jun a quick hug and a wave before dashing off

• Jun can’t keep his eyes off the bracelet as he goes back to the company, running his fingers along the peyote weave

• he spends the rest of the night reading about kandi and kandi kid culture

• and everyone involved is so happy, and their bracelets?? like holy shit.

• he thought yours was good but some of these people had massive and intricate kandi

• the next time you meet, he asks if you can teach him how to make kandi

• and your face lights up!!

• the next few meetups he learns, little by little

• passing the bracelet to you if he can’t get part of it right

• and he just keeps getting surprised by your patience when you have to undo rows, your bubbly spirit calming a bit as you focus on a pattern

• and one day you invite him to a rave

• and yo he’s so nervous ??? but he wants to go so bad ???

• you promise him you guys can leave it early, because eventually you get overwhelmed too

• so he agrees

• you meet at your apartment, Jun shy as you flit around and drape him with more kandi

• you ask him to sit still as you paint a tiny design on his face in UV paint, hand resting on his jaw to keep him still

• and when you gleefully spin him around to look at himself in the mirror he’s just. wow.

• a line of heart stickers on his cheek, a necklace made from kid toys draped around his neck, and of course, endless bracelets

• this was so cool.

• the rave was even better.

• Jun got used to the flashing lights and eccentric music very quickly, mostly following behind as you greeted people and traded bracelets

• and then you turn and pull him out to the dance floor

• and that shit is like a fever dream.

• adrenaline, glitter, and neon lights fill your veins as you both dance for hours

• eventually too tired to keep up, you fall into Jun’s arms, laughing

• and he’s grinning too (:

• you leave shortly after that, walking home in the dark

• you stop to sit at a park bench, and Jun says he has a surprise

• he holds out his hand

• peace, love, unity, respect

• and slips a bracelet onto your arm

• he did it completely himself, as you’d never seen the design before

• it’s of a cat with a rainbow tail, along with his name spelled out in pixels

• and you look up at Jun, whose eyes are filled with anticipation

• and you give him a huge hug

• and he thanks you for showing him this diverse underground world full of color in the night; a way to break out of his shell a little

• and damn I guess you can’t help but hold back an “I love you”

• and he feels the glitter surge back into his veins

• and the feeling never leaves again (:

HOSHI

• Soonyoung always thought photographers were more likely to stay out of the lens’ view, but you proved him wrong

• when you introduced yourself as his photographer for the magazine shoot you were working on, he couldn’t help but feel like you should be in front of the camera, not him

• like holy shit. the beads and chains that engulfed your arm and shimmered in the dim lights. the clips nestled in your hair that were shaped like cartoon spiders. the patches for bands he’d never heard of on every square inch of your camera bag.

• he’s polite and energetic the whole shoot, and to be honest maybe you take a little longer than usual to line up closeups of his face

• after all he deserves the best photos (:

• once you’re finished you agree to meet again at Pledis the next day, just to review the photos

• and Soonyoung spends the whole night hyping himself up lol

• you look just as cool as the day before, if not better, and he manages to compliment you without a problem (practice pays off!!)

• he wants to see more of your photos, and you offer him a ticket to a portfolio viewing you’re having

• he shows up without telling you, taking his time to walk through the gallery and examine each photo

• and they’re so dynamic, perfectly balanced, mysterious. he can’t help but get lost in each one, not even noticing you staring at him

• you, heart warm from his wonder and genuine interest

• he was soon a common subject and reviewer of your photography

• and you were soon a common staple of his, Soonyoung trying to be with you at every opportunity

• he invites you over for movie nights with the other guys

• if you show up in your usual outfits he whines about how you’re all pokey and he can’t lay on your arm without getting stabbed ):<

• luckily you own soft sweatshirts that still look super cool so it’s a win/win

• he’s so adoring of everything you do omg

�� every interest of yours is now his interest too

• and he’ll always be by your side, curious and wide-eyed, always ready for the next adventure with you

• whether it be through clothes, or photos, or even just the park

• you’re what makes it special (:

MINGHAO

• dude. he’d lose his shit in the best way possible.

• have you seen this man??? his sense of style??? he’d be drooling in seconds lol

• you’d catch him watching you as you intern at Pledis, sketching up scenes in the corner

• finishing your degree required film to turn in, and you managed to snag an internship with the production crew for Seventeen

• a successful music video for a major group would definitely save your grade lol

• every dance practice, you’d be in the corner, wedged against the mirrors, huddled over your sketchbook as you designed

• and of course you watched them dance, you had to encapsulate the emotion somehow

• during a water break, one of the members plops down next to you and introduces himself as Minghao

• his hair is damp with sweat, sleeveless shirt clinging to his chest

• and he asks to see your ideas

• the concept is focused on the ideas of identity, and your current plan was sketches of each member as the background

• you could animate them slowly turning into each member, and you explain the idea to Minghao as he very gently flips through the pages, fingers hardly touching the pages

• he lingers on his own page

• “you didn’t sketch anyone else’s face this detailed.”

• “you’re pretty.” You say simply, reaching for the book back

• he grins at his lap.

• he sits next to you every day now, always eager to see your designs

• but more often he wants to see your other works

• and when you tell him you and your friends made most of your clothes he’s dumbstruck

• “can you make some for me?”

• you laugh and he apologizes for being so straightforward

• but the next day you bring in a trench coat you’ve been illustrating

• cutting diamonds into the sleeves and lining them with neon thread

• the half-finished painting on the back your friend started working on

• and as you proudly explain the coat’s background Minghao can’t help but want to join in too

• the way your face lights up when you speak about it, how gently you fold the fabric, how you adjust the collar on him so it looks just right

• eventually you begin to hang out outside of the company

• and you take him to craft stores when you need supplies or new clothes to ruin

• and he has such a good eye oh my god

• and his long fingers pick up sewing so easily

• and many hours are spent on your apartment floor quietly snipping, painting, lacing

• minghao wears his clothes with pride, especially the ones you make for him

• you go out one day, both of you completely dressed in your own designs

• and Minghao has never felt this beautiful before

• and when he sees your outfit he can’t help but wrap you in a huge hug

• he’s proud: of himself, of you, of the creativity and passion and hours put into these clothes

• and he admits he’d like to keep that feeling around a lot more

• and so your time in the city becomes a date

• and behind the music video sets becomes a spot to hide and snuggle

• you still sketch him sometimes

• when he doesn’t notice

• when he’s too focused on choreo, or reading a book, or laughing at the other boys goofing around

• because you’re proud of him, too

• and when he sheepishly admits he’s been doing the same, pushing over his own sketchbooks filled with endless drawings, improving page by page

• you know he’s your other half.

DINO

• Dude he’d be so flustered

• he straight up would just. not know what to say and would probably be defensive whenever you talk to him so he might come off as rude ):

• it would take time for him to warm up to you

• but when he does it’s clear he can’t get you out of his head

• as a choreographer, you had to spend a lot of time with the performance line

• and in this case, specifically Chan, as he has a solo

• and just seeing you look so damn rad even when you’re slowly walking him through potential choreo,,,, homeboy is gonna break down and try and defend himself

• the first few days are awkward because he’s drawn back and a little hostile

• but you force him to get lunch with you after a particularly rough morning, just to try to have a better relationship

• you guys didn’t finish the choreo that afternoon, choosing to sit on the studio floor and talk

• the next day he’s still quiet, but shyly rather than defensively

• and he can’t seem to get his arms right, and you have to go over there and straighten his arms for him, rings digging into his biceps

• and even though he tries to hide his grin you know it’s what he wanted

• eventually your job is done and you’re ready to head to the next performer, or go plan choreo for another group

• and Chan shuffles up and even though his cheeks are red he manages to ask you out

• and how could you say no?

Ok a more specific prompt, coffee shop au with Malec and claia 😌

this is nowhere near specific and you damn well know it, anon. i appreciate u trying to find an excuse to throw coffee shop aus everywhere, tho. keep doing the lord's work even if i will inevitably twist the prompt

Magnus works at a small, local coffee shop as a barista. It's not exactly his #1 job choice, but it pays better than big chain coffee shops and he needs that to pay rent now that he officially left his abusive father's home for good. Also, he is kind of a coffee enthusiast and the owner, Ragnor, lets him go wild with making up new drinks and ingredients, as long as he still does his job.

All in all it's a good job and he considers the old fart and the other barista, maia, to be like family. Ragnor frequently gives them coffee and Maia constantly teases him about being a "coffee scientist" whenever she catches him thoughtfully drinking from a cup and scribbling notes on his notepad, like some ancient being

His recipes are good, though, and he knows exactly where to get the best coffee beans for the best price. So their drinks are good, affordable, and can please everyone from the traditional "black coffee no sugar" exec to the teenager who wants more of a milkshake than actual coffee

As a result, the shop thrives, gets more popular, and gets more clients. So Ragnor decides to hire a new barista to help. Because he's secretly a sweetheart, he ends up hiring this broke college kid who just moved into town to get away from his kinda toxic family and has nowhere to go - and also doesnt have a single ounce of experience as a barista

It's not surprising; both Magnus and Maia share similar stories, with some abusive exes to spice up the mix, not to mention racism, biphobia, and, in Magnus case, male behavior standarts keeping most opportunities closed for them. So they're cool with that. Even if it means Magnus will have to be the one to teach him, because 1- Ragnor is a dick and assigned him to be Alec's special "tutor" as retribution for Magnus calling him "an old, heart of butter bastard"; 2- he's the one who's best qualified to teach him since he knows a lot about coffee and coffee making anyway; 3- Maia has no patience

Quick detour just to say that i love the maia/magnus brotp opportunities this gives. While Magnus is more of a coffee scientist as she puts it, Maia has an almost instictive understanding of drink making. Where Magnus is soft, she's fierce, and they make one hell of a team and are good at balancing one another. They bond over their experiences with abuse; while Magnus' has made him afraid to put his foot down and say what he wants and prioritize himself, Maia's has made her particularly wary of people and even less willing to take anyone's bullshit, and both of these coping mechanisms have their own effects on their psyche, and they're able to talk openly to each other about it. Maia is kind of protective of Magnus and vice-versa, though the way they protect each other is very different. They have an easy companionship and bantering dynamic that's easygoing and cute, theyre both passionate about their interests (Maia loves marine biology and even if Magnus doesnt know much about it he loves listening to her talk about it) and just generally have that kind of relationship where just smiling at each other makes a tough day seem lighter. Also Magnus loves making Maia laugh. Maia blatantly refuses to laugh at any of his self-deprecating jokes, tho, which has considerably diminished the amount of times he makes them

Anyway Alec comes in for his first day and Magnus is like [REDACTED] because shit this man is cute. Maia notices immediately and from then on the teasing doesn't stop

He's quick to recover, tho, and suddenly he's all smooth again (Maia says he's perfected his customer service persona to horror movie levels), quick to introduce himself and Maia to Alec and explain that he'll be training Alec for the next few weeks or so. He gives him a tour of the shop, explains the basics, and immediately launches into his slightly extra More Serious Than Strictly Necessary course on the makings and workings of coffee, from bean selection to ideal temperature and the chemistry behind the cooking.

This absolute dork even had a small table with some coffee made from different kinds of beans so Alec could taste them and learn the difference and Engage with the profession or some shit

Maia just rolls her eyes, thankful that she had prior experience before getting this job and didnt have to go through this

The first thing he learns about Alec: Alec doesn't like coffee. This is not a setback. Many people dont like coffee, but that's because they're used to regular powdered coffee instead of making it from the bean. Because the beans in powdered coffee arent previously selected, they are roasted harder than they should, so any beans that might have gone bad wont spoil the taste or make you sick. As a result, the coffee is way too bitter and doesn't have a discernible taste. He explains all of this enthusiastically to a slightly overwhelmed Alec, and gets on to making him try the samples so he can feel the difference.

Here's the second thing he learns about Alec: Alec doesn't feel the difference

Despair. Horror. Offense.

Alec even kind of chuckles and goes "sorry" at the face he makes, and a not-pouting Magnus goes on with the planned explanation on bean selection

Third thing he learns about Alec: he's a quick study. Everything he lacks in sensibility to the amazing world of bean juice, he makes up for in his careful attentiveness to the instructions. He is also a strict recipe-follower and makes sure he always uses the exact amounts required. He's an absolute perfectionist. He listens to Magnus' explanations on how to know if the taste is right, to look for color and texture of the mix. Magnus tries his simple coffees and only needs a few corrections to send him on the right path

The first time Alec makes him something more complicated to try (per his request) Magnus wants to die

It's so good

Scratch that, it's perfect

This soulless motherfucker doesn't even like coffee and this is the single best version of whatever crazy frapuccino shit they're making magnus has ever tried

He kind of bursts from the kitchen (?) all like MAIA YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS just in time to interrupt her chatting with this redhead new customer with shiny eyes. Maia is leaning all the way across the counter. What is this

Maia agrees that it's very good but again he's not as passionate about coffee and Magnus just interrupted what would have been a really smooth number-giving move so she's not feeling all that generous

Alec just laughs at that. His eyes are shining with amusement and he's very, very pleased that Magnus likes his stuff

It's not a big secret, really; mixing drinks is kind of like patisserie in the sense that the measures need to be exact to achieve the best taste and texture. He follows the recipe to a fault, it turns out good. That's why he's better at the more complicated, instagram-y drinks than the simple coffee types

Alec "graduates" his training pretty soon after that and Ragnor is very pleased

He gets along well with both Magnus and Maia, even if he's more quiet and sometimes catches himself just laughing at the two of them interact; their friendship is something else. But he also gets to hear a "shut up" from Maia after not saying absolutely anything when the redhead walks in again the very next day

The redhead always comes in a little late in the morning, so its always slow. As a result, they get to pretend to be minding their own business as they hear the two of them chat and oof is the romantic tension between them something. Maia glares at them once the girl - Clary - leaves every time, but it doesn't stop them

Soon Maia is calling them "no-good gossiping grandmas" because of the way Magnus and Alec will go to the back and pretend to be making something while they keep a whispered running commentary on what the girls are talking about. This quickly turns into some sort of race to see who can make the other break and laugh out loud. Neither of them ever do (they are trying to be discreet and Maia would kill them) but oftentimes they need to cover their mouths with their hands and playfully slap each other for the teasing

Clary doesn't even realize she's the reason; she kind of just thinks they are constantly flirting on the back and briefly wonders how they havent been fired when all they do is whisper and make eyes at each other

Not that she has any room to talk when she's late to work everyday because she keeps cracking jokes with the cute curly haired barista with the most beautiful lopsided smile who always makes her laugh and tells her about her day while she drinks her coffee. She's lucky her work starts at 10 so she can go in a little later and doesnt have to be there during rush hours, but still

She doesnt even like coffee, she walked in one day cuz she was really tired and then just kept coming in the hopes that the barista would make a move on her (shes not gonna do it herself, at least not in her workplace. She doesn't want to make her uncomfortable and it's still unclear whether the girl is flirting or if shes just really nice)

At some point she and Maia even start sharing knowing looks to Alec and Magnus and laughing at them. They don't even notice, because their designated Making Fun Of Maia time turned into just cracking jokes at each other way too quickly. They don't even remember there are other people there

Maia does finally ask clary out eventually. She wasn't exactly nervous about doing it, it's more that she enjoyed their little routine. But enough is enough, and when their routine starts involving Clary giving her a quick kiss before placing her order, well, it just makes it better

Magnus and Alec coo every time

Eventually Maia snaps all like "why are you guys the one poking fun at me when im the one who made a move instead of being a coward"

Magnus is all like "Whatever could she possibly mean??"

It dawns on him when hes closing up the next day and Alec has already left. He has a crush on Alec. Oh god. Oh fuck

Maia helpfully says "idiot" and leaves

Some Magnus being very nervous and overthinking his relationship with Alec who's all like ???????? about this

Alec goes to his sister about his new crush who suddenly started acting weird and izzy is all like "stop trying to guess what he's thinking because you're terrible at this. Just tell them how you feel" and Alec is like okay

He asks Magnus out

Everyone is happy and gay idk the end

Personal Update:

So I've mentioned a few times during the last couple of months that I am struggling but I thought it was about time I made a proper post about it. Also, I haven't been very active lately and I have some promises I didn't keep (anon from the anon list and those replikate posts I promised) and I feel like an asshole for doing that. Maybe I’ll feel like less of an asshole if I explain the situation properly.

A bit more than a year ago, I went through a tough break-up. Looking back now, I am so glad I didn’t pursue things with this guy, but back then it was very hard to accept and made me doubt a lot of the choices I’ve made in life. I couldn’t bring myself to get out of bed for 3 days, at which point I decided to get help and called to get a therapy appointment. I started to have weekly therapy sessions. The process I went through with the therapy was (and still is) a very deep process. It made me realize my reaction to the break-up was so bad because of other factors in my life, which put me under a lot of pressure and constant stress and the break-up was just the last straw that made me collapse under the pressure.

The therapy was very enlighting but wasn’t a magic solution. I still struggled to get out of bed every morning and to fulfill my responsibilities, at home and at work. There wasn’t a week passing by without me spending at least a day in bed until the late afternoon when I got up to eat a snack and get back to bed, hoping the next day will be better. I had several meltdowns, which mainly consisted of me crying while laying in bed, wondering what on earth was wrong with me (I have tears in my eyes just writing about it). I lost motivation to do anything, whether it was work related, a hobby, or even taking care of myself, of my skin (my skin is extremely capricious, you can immediately see if I put all of my creams and treatments on this morning) and of my appearance, something that was always very important to me. I’m talking about simple things, such as making sure my skirt is properly ironed, not wearing the same outfit to work three days in a row, combing my hair in the morning.

Around six months ago, I understood I couldn’t keep pretending everything was fine at work. With my therapist’s encouragement, I went to my boss (the head of the laboratory where I was doing my thesis) and with great difficulty told her I was going through a difficult period. It was extremely hard for me to do it, but she was much more understanding than what I expected her to be and recommended I go to the uni’s social worker, who suggested I see a psychiatrist. Which, after some internal struggling, I did.

I was diagnosed with depression. It was a relief. It confirmed I wasn't just "lazy" or "not trying hard enough" or “needed to get my shit back together”, which are thoughts I had and words I heard from people around me. For over a year now, I have had a medical problem, that can and should be treated. So I started taking medication. I want to give a special shoutout to @duchessofostergotlands, who is the main reason I was ready to even listen to the idea of seeing a psychiatrist and did not slap the person who proposed it to me. Over the last few years, following her blog (even before I had Tumblr) taught me so much about mental health and mental illnesses. Thank you, Jessica <3

The medication, just like the therapy, wasn’t a magic trick. It takes time to find the right medication and the right dose. My lack of motivation didn’t disappear. I still had a hard time getting out of bed and getting anything done at work. My boss did her best to help me, she arranged for me to move to the uni’s dorms so that I’ll be closer to the lab, and had regular meetings with me. But she is a very busy woman and expects a certain level of independence from her students. I wasn’t capable of having that level of independence. After a few months, she told me she couldn’t continue working with me and said maybe science and research weren’t for me. She contacted the directorate of the uni, that convoked me for a meeting.

This was an extremely low point for me. I was convinced they will tell me to pack my things, go home and never come back. I saw myself just laying in bed all day, having nothing else to do. I was so ashamed of myself and couldn’t even tell my parents about it. For me, it was the end of the world. I could not possibly see a life after being kicked out of uni. I cried so much the week before this meeting. I was terrified.

At this point, it was pretty clear the medication wasn’t working. I went to the psychiatrist again, on the day my boss told me research wasn’t my thing. I was devastated. I am very lucky to have such an amazing psychiatrist - she is a rare breed among psychiatrists. She told me how when she was doing her studies, she had a hard time during her internship in a psychiatric hospital, and the director told her that psychiatry is “not for her”. She really reassured me, and she changed my medication to another type.

The day of the meeting arrived. I could barely stop my voice from shaking. They were surprisingly empathic. They asked me to explain what’s going on. I told them everything; how I didn’t know if research was really my thing, because I didn’t know anything at this point, how I didn’t have motivation for my studies and my work in the lab, but also didn’t have the motivation to see friends or to go outside. They were so understanding and told me to take two to three months off (paid!!!) and to think hard if that’s really my passion. If I decide that it is, I will be able to come back, find another laboratory to work in and have another year to do my thesis (I was supposed to finish it in October). The head of the board emphasized how important it is to do something you’re passionate about, and how the degree isn’t important and doesn’t say anything about the person that you are. It was so good to hear that.

So I moved back in with my parents. It was hard. I got used to having my own space, my independence. My parent’s apartment is quite crowded, I don’t have my own room, and the environment there is quite toxic. It was very hard to think about what is my passion and what I want to do with my life in those conditions. After a few weeks at home, with the pressure and the stress building up and getting worse by the second, I decided I needed to get away. I took a flight ticket to Paris (where my grandpa lives) and a week later I was on the plane, finally feeling a tiny bit relaxed, for the first time in what seems like an eternity.

So that’s where I am now. In Paris, enjoying french baguette every morning with a good coffee. I didn’t do anything for two weeks, but for a change, it wasn’t depressing. I got out of bed, ate, watched a movie, chat with my grandpa. Just relaxing. I left my computer in my bag for the first week. I didn’t go to any touristic thing. I’ve done them all several times and this time it’s all about relaxing. Next week I am traveling to London, my great love (don’t ask me to choose between London and Paris), where I can relax a bit more before going back to Israel. I think the medication is finally working. I am pretty sure I will go back to uni and finish my degree. I miss research, every day a bit more. I’m feeling like I can see the end of the tunnel, finally. It’s still far, but I can see it, and I know where to go now.

I hope this post not only explains my absence lately, and my lack of communication with some of you - please know I read and appreciate everything you write under my posts and on PM - but also inspire anyone reading it to seek the help you deserve. If you are feeling depressed, incompetent, like an idiot, sad, lonely, please go and find a professional who is empathic (SO important) and get help. You deserve to be happy, you deserve to be loved, you deserve to have success and joy. Give yourself the opportunity to get all those things. I don’t have them yet, but I now can at least imagine the possibility of it.

I also want to personally thank some amazing people in the fandom who helped me in my darkest times: @duchessofostergotlands whom I already mentioned, but she also helped me enormously in the last few months, @lizisaroyalist my cupcaky angel, always here when I need her, @riffraffrouge the voice of reason and the reason for me smiling and even laughing at my darkest moments, @queensonjas an amazing listener and so good at taking my mind off depressing things, just by talking with her, and @britishroyallove who is like a big sister and helped me in my lowest moments. I love you all. Also a big thank you to the royal fandom in general (the good part of it lmao) for making this a place I can escape to and get excited about royals and tiaras and royal babies and kiddos. Thank you to everyone who contribute to this community <3

Megapost 2 - 31st of August 2018

Nonny Nr. 1: Clockwork (LOL)! Pissed, sour, arrogant and looking preggo. I'm really about to give up, not on skeptics but on trying to find him excuses. He really looks more and more complicit of this shit.

Anna: Oh, I’m way past finding Ben excuses. As I’ve said countless times before, I firmly believe he’s been on the steering wheel since March of 2016 :o)

Nonny Nr. 2: Can I say this is getting boring? If he's so careful to keep his private life private, why on Earth bringing his visibly pregnant wife with him? They could easily keep the pregnancy hidden and simply announce the baby's birth... unless, of course, he needs the extra-attention for his career well-being. YAWN.

Anna: His “demure”, “pregnant” wife who recently hurt her foot, but endures it all because she’s a trooper Nonny. There’s a reason he was calling her heroic two years back ;o)

Nonny Nr. 3: I dare them to go for pregnancy number 4, 5, and 6 in her forties because that’s really common. *sarcasm She’s also got the triangular belly back! And wasn’t her belly hardly noticeable on the recent fortune IG pix?

Anna: The more pregnancies we get to document whenever Ben has a project that’s being released on cinemas and needs a boost in publicity, the more realistic said pregnancies look Nonny.

Especially considering the pictures we got on the 24th of June with Weirdo looking like she’d drunk an extra cup of tea, then the pics we got of her from her friend’s private instagram account this week, where she looks like she’s drunk the same extra cup of tea again, and the triangular belly of much smooshiness and popped bellybutton we got yesterday.

So realistic, much inconsistent.

Nonny Nr. 4: "has a kids movie to promote shortly and BOOM, there she is, preggers"--No. I'm not sure what the reasoning is for this one or the 2nd one, but this isn't for The Grinch. That doesn't make sense. Way too early plus the focus audience will not care. Neither the 2nd or 3rd pregnancies occured at a time where the pregnancy would be useful to the promo at hand, and you get less attention after the 1st one to boot. TL DR there's nothing for this to sell.

Anna: I don’t think it’s too early Nonny. We’re about a fortnight away from the Emmys, so it’s perfect timing to get people to start paying attention for a big reveal at the Emmys red carpet. That would ensure Ben some free publicity and cute family-friendly topics of conversation for The Grinch promo tour, which should start about a fortnight after the Emmys (the movie’s being released in the US on the 8th of November).

Perfect timing I would say ;o)

Nonny Nr. 5: You’re right you really CAN set a watch to these times pregnancies can’t you. Literally every. Single. Time. It’s the beginning of Promotion his happens, even if we have them running to the gym a couple weeks ago w her slim as a rail. My god

Anna: It’s a shame that Ben didn’t have any movies to promote for theatre release last year Nonny. A missed opportunity to add to the CumberBatch of boys if I ever saw one...

@jazziesb: BC’s got a lot of serious issues in his life, now a third fake kid. It makes me sometimes really annoyed that BC keeps pretending to have kids who don’t exist and that SH wears her fake belly again. From what we saw in their interactions and behaviour towards each other SH can never really be pg, and I find it almost impossible for them to have had any kind of intercourse that would have produced real kids. All that makes me run up the wall sometimes. How can they be so stupid to think they can get away with it for even more years? Why does nobody publish these lies and make them all come out for people to see? Hollywood is full of fake relationships, but not many of them lasted this long.

Anna: I disagree with most of your observations @jazziesb, except for the “Weirdo could never have been pregnant” part.

@mysticalmaniac: I called it, I really did call it when I saw the "work-out" top that was wrinkled above the waist, but stretched taut across her abdomen. Then there's the twitter video from last night? That was the Oscar bump if I'm not mistaken. I don't know why there's a kerfuffle about this, this is going to be very entertaining. We've already got the wine glass JUST LIKE the first fake, aw, she's such a silly sow, she doesn't learn (or she does it to wipe it in the faces of his fans/nans). Pop the popcorn.

Anna: I don’t see any kerfuffle @mysticalmaniac, but I do see the pop corn, and it’s staring right back at me ;o)

Fat Nosed Anon: 🙄💤 colour me surprised, Anna. What shocked me more is that it's been almost two years since the last time they shared a growing bump (or 'bump') with the world. Time flies and I still haven't won the lottery despite playing :o/ (should choose :o/ FNA as the fat noses seem to be more in fashion that I'd thought). Good job that somebody 'leaked ' the privately private so very maternal pictures in advance :o) As the weekend is getting closer, have a great one!

Anna: Colour me unimpressed Fat Nosed Anon ;o)

Have a wonderful weekend! I’m starting it with a bang, since I’m going out with a group of friends for drinks tonight, and then I’m planning to go for a swim at least once this weekend, cause the heat is unbearable again on my side of the screen.

JT Anon: Personally I’ll never stop laughing over her slim enviable figure from a few weeks ago to this but hey clockwork like you said

Anna: If you’re looking for realism and consistency, you’ve tuned into the wrong showmance JT :P

Mom Anon: On gettyimages, there is NO pic of them at all so far. I think Ben should really have gone to the Jaegre LeCoultre RC, if he remains invisible for the main stream, he might as well have stayed home.

Anna: I haven’t been able to find any pics of Ben, Weirdo or Adam on any of the pap sites I keep track of Mom Anon. So ... no official red carpet walks I guess.

He did go to the party after The Favourite premiere, and had a chat with the cast, but I don’t see Weirdo in the background. LINK (thanks to @ptskeptonanny for sending me so many social media post links today by the way. You’re awesome!)

Here's a game for you and Sam, Kevin you adorable honeybunny - go someplace where you HAVE to be quiet (Library, Movies, wherever), sit nice and suggly close... and gently let the tickles start. You're welcome! Kisses to both of you (on the cheek, of course, since I'm a lady like that) ;)

HOneybunny Anon! I miss you but damn you’re mean! You and your suggestions!

Sam was really enthusiastic about this one. Normally I’d be way too embarrassed to do this in public but Sam talked me into trying it, because we wouldn’t know anyone there, so who cared if we got caught? We were trying to come up with the best place to do it - check out some of these ideas lol, although they’re NSFW. But in the end we decided to go with the library idea, because, well, we both have a thing for libraries.

The library in Lawrence is way too small for it. It’s like, twenty feet across, it would be too awkward. So the opportunity came up on a case. Sam and I went in first and set up to start doing some research, while Dean went to try to flirt some information out of the librarian (you guys should have seen it. He was worried he looked too cool and badass to pass as a “real nerd” so he wore this big geeky glasses and a striped sweater and he cUFFED HIS PANTS).

Sam and I had been sitting there quietly for a while when he finally started. He was sitting at an angle to me at this table at first, and started squeezing my knees. I almost folded right away so he scaled back a little, to drag it out. Sadistic jerk.

You remember that he has stupid long monkey-arms, so he could reach pretty far. No, not that far, but he got my thighs pretty good too. Some of the other people studying or reading were starting to give us suspicious looks, especially this grouchy looking old guy, but Dean and the librarian hadn’t noticed yet. Because they were too busy flirting/chatting about the case. I’d managed not to make (much) noise, but I was definitely jumping in my seat more than someone reading a book normally would.

After a little bit, he slid over to the other side of the table, with me, and scooted in close. He started squeezing my waist with one hand while he was pointing and talking seriously about some nonsense from the book in front of us. Sam is good at keeping a straight face. And he always knew exactly when no one was really looking at us so he could give me a smile and a quick kiss right before tweaking into my hips and making me gasp, and immediately look all serious again.

Some lady was copying something down about five feet from us, and her angle was such that she couldn’t see Sam stick his finger directly into my armpit and slowly twitch it around. I was going nuts, but I managed to keep it in! Thank fuck she left, though.

For a few minutes, the guys nearest to us went somewhere else and he pulled me in and really started tickling me, but so infuriatingly light. Like he got his hand up under my shirt for a second to tease around under there and I had to shove my hand in my mouth to stay quiet. My face was so red, there’s no way people didn’t see it.

Eventually some teenage girls finally saw Sam get my ribs pretty good, and he winked at them and kept doing it for a second until I finally slapped his hand away. They made these little aww-ing noises and giggled at us.

But Dean and the librarian didn’t notice for a long time! They finally did notice when Sam got my belly button unexpectedly and I finally made this weird strangled yelping noise. They both looked over - everyone looked over - and the girls giggled again and everyone else glared and went back to what we were doing.

Sam gave this apologetic little shrug and we could hear the librarian say something about young people who couldn’t keep their hands off each other even when they were clearly supposed to be tutoring, and excuse her a minute, while she went to speak to us. As soon as her back was to Dean, he made this horrible face at us and we both started laughing so we grabbed our stuff and beat it out of there before we got thrown out.

Then once we were safely outside, Sam just grabbed me and tickled the living shit out of me, and then Dean jumped in too, tickling me until I pretty much was dead from laughing.

All in all though, Sam said I made it almost a half hour without making noise! It was a fun game :)

(I think it would be funny if I could try to sneakily talk Cas into playing the game with Dean, but I’m not sure if Cas is likely to listen to me. Maybe I’ll ask Gabriel to ask him :P)

Why is non-attachment bad? I'm curious since I've started to do it and thought it's the right way

Alright, I kinda wish you asked this off anon so i could message you back instead of posting it but at least i don’t have that many followers lmao.

Okay so you have to understand I started doing this when I was really young like 13? 14? I was thinking to myself, there will be times when noone will be on my side. My parents won’t live forever, my friends can’t support me 24/7 and boys? Never only rely on just a bf/gf ewww (this part of it remains true tho). So, I distanced myself from everything. As the post says, you accept what comes and you learn to let it go. I imagine you’re thinking the same?

But like….. you don’t really accept what comes. You’re just living without passion and real deep feelings because you’re always ready to let things go and burn the bridge if you have to. There’s no such thing as temporary attachment I think. You can’t be truly and honestly attached to someone and be prepared for them to leave you anytime.

I was lucky enough to have two friends who wouldn’t let me go through this bullshit after we graduated from high school an they wouldn’t let me build my walls for the love of god and that’s when I realised that you thinking you’re being “safely attached, ready to let go” is EXACTLY like telling people “oh sure you can have fun with me, you can chat with me, we can be friends, just use me for physical, emotional or other needs and when you had enough of me, just close the door behind you, thanks for letting me help and sorry for any inconvenience I caused”. Sounds so silly doesn’t it.

So you can follow the road I took, which was locking myself into my room and crying and screaming silently but not walking over to the next room for my parents to hug me if I had any problems or self-doubts or anything (even though I had the opportunity….it feels so stupid now). And like.. it feels really really really shitty at the time, worse than anything but after that you feel you’re stronger and tougher. And it might be true in a way, but stronger also means you don’t NEED people anymore to make you feel better / more okay, which means you won’t go up to people in the future. Let me tell you this, you will not ever open up to someone after years of distancing yourself, because you’ve managed perfectly before, and you feel it’s unnecessary and takes time and it’s awkward and silly so you just back out instead. You still might think “but where’s the problem in that?” Well the problem is, other people aren’t like that. The majority go and find their best friends, their partner, their relatives if they’re struggling with something. And if you don’t do the same, it’s like telling them you’re not close enough, telling them it’s OK to trust you but you will never do the same. You will hurt them.

You WILL be alone for the rest of your life. You’ll have to pretend being emotionally close to someone if you think they’re worth it, because you won’t be fully able to LOVE them, you’ll just be there for them if they need it (because they deserve it), but you won’t expect them to be there for you which will most probably fuck the relationship up. And when (rather if, really) they do show that they’re there, and they won’t go away, firstly you will be so grateful, too grateful, you’ll feel like you don’t deserve this and you don’t need this. And you’ll look for something you can do for them, something bigger and more important, so you don’t feel “in debt” and depending on them. You won’t be able to accept affection and attachment of any kind.And secondly, if this goes on for a long time, you’ll be frustrated with them because you can’t keep on with this “over thankfulness”, emotionally or in any other level. So, you’ll end up getting angrier and angrier and eventually will fight a lot and push them away.

As I said, I have two amazing friends and I honestly owe everything to them, because for some reason I still don’t get, they wouldn’t let me go too far down on that road. My life would be empty without them, and I’m not talking about not going to the movies and not sending pwp fics to each other, I’m talking about having no feelings and no real connection.I was very lucky, and I’m sure some people don’t have this advantage. So I might be a bit biased.

Also, I’m not saying go and be friends with everyone because it’ll change your life. Keep your guards up, keep searching, don’t let too many people close to you, you have to make sure they deserve your time and attachment and love. I got attached to my dorks after like a solid year I’d say (or more), and this is just a year of me talking with them every day, I’d known them waaay before. Relationships need time to deepen, some people need more time than others, but you do have to let a few people in. There will be drama, you’ll feel like this is not what you bargained for when you lowered your guard and you’re gonna ask yourself do I really want this..? (You can’t imagine the shit we went through with them.) But deep down you’ll feel like yes it is indeed worth it. Of course it can still happen that you’d misjudged people and you’ve been trying to be close to them for a long time and you still can’t feel it being beneficial or like.. pleasant, then you don’t have to go though with it. I’m just saying, give people a little time before you decide you hate and don’t need attachment.

Alright I think this is it for now, I’m pretty sure there are a few things I left out or didn’t explain clear enough or stuff like that.

Also I hope what you’re talking about is relatively close to the feelings I had? Otherwise I just typed a long ass response with nothing more than self therapeutic purposes, peak.

Send me more anon asks if you feel like there’s something you need to get off your chest, or come off anon and we can talk maybe in shorter messages ;) Have a beautiful day xxxx
