this was copy and pasted off of my wattpad and onto my tumblr because i honestly really like this story imo its more me!!! [ i dont know what this writing style is called but..] ANYWAY ENJOYYYYYY ★ one - ur in it. - ★two
— — — — — — — ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ — — — — — — —
the sounds of chatter filled the air. gossip. boys fawning over female genitals and being overall.. disrespectful
well? seems like a normal day for M/n L/n. 
 well obviously , m/n l/n was apart of these cliques. socializing and gossiping with his friend. he's a popular one.. and this caught the attention of many..
he heard his name everywhere. everyone knew his name 'm/n! ' ' ohh m/n! ' he was slightly tired of it. but, he enjoyed the attention how everyone knew his name how popular he was he loved. it.
but one didn't he found it annoying.. so annoying... that was aomine daiki. he was tired of having to hear the name m/n constantly even his own teammates had said it.
' yo , did u see m/n today? ' ' that clip m/n posted on his ig was funny as hell '  ' i wonder if m/n wants to try out basketball we could teach him? ' > <
?? that's funny..
— — — — — — — ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ — — — — — — —
aomine grumbled as he jumped onto the small platform placed on the roof top. he was tired. no not because of basketball , how would  thee aomine daiki get tired over basketball? exactly. he never did. never.. 
infact he was tired of m/n l/n and his stupid name. what was so special about this.. nobody?
he ice skates? so? i play basketball..
aomine though wasn't aware that he was exactly the same. let's move to m/n's point of view shall we?
stupid fucking aomine.. him and his name everywhere.. whats so special about him?
it seems the two have mutual feelings? and the same thoughts about each other.. woah
enemies.
how silly...
M/n was heading to the ice rink he goes to , to practice. He carefully made his way on roller skates. humming a random tune. He had finally arrived at the skate rink stepping inside quickly making his way towards the lockers.
After doing his usual routine , he glanced around. Usually his skating partner would arrive earlier but it seemed that they were absent... He didn't think to much of it but had a slight ping of worry , it was unusual for his colleague to never show up for practice. M/n was now finished with his routine , stepping out of the locker room and slowly making his way towards the rink.
 'hm? oh momoi-san! hii! ' the figure skater halted as he saw a familiar pair of pink hair enter the rink. a smile on his face as he made his way towards her , though it had slowly faded as he saw the also very familiar dark blue hair alongside her.
aomine daiki was picking his nose. ' eugh... ' m/n shivered in disgust though finally arriving infront of momoi. she was grinnning happily and both aomine and m/n knew what she was gonna say wasn't going to be a good idea.
 'n/n! dai-chan and i need your help!' she exclaimed though aomine shook his head ' i beg to differ.. though i have no idea to what you are trying to do...'
he sniffed his nose after finally NOT stuffing it with his finger flicking it somewhere... 
' well! i was thinking that maybeee you m/n could help dai-chan study! he really needs it and you both are basically the same though specialize in different athletics and you on the other hand are really smart n/n! dai-chan really needs it... '
 momoi quickly explained the ice skater could barely keep up with what she was saying...
 ' i mean i guess though i don't think me and aomine get along well.. at. all. ' m/n shrugged stepping off of the ice carefully slipping them off. 
his feet were stinging from the previous moves he was doing though he was used to it.
'hahh.. i mean it can be a way of bonding trust me! ' momoi grinned looking towards the tanned basketball player. 'well? what do you say! it could really help you... ' 
aomine only shrugged ' i don't care if i get kicked off for my grades.. their loss.. ' 
momoi didn't take that nicely. smacking the back of aomine head , m/n only watched mentally laughing at the basketball player as he winced.
 ' fine..! good god... i guess this nerd can tutor me. ' m/n kicked the basketball players leg with his barefoot. well.. not bare but you get what i mean.. hopefully. 
aomine grunted smacking the back of m/n's head exactly how momoi did it. which earned a punch to HIS and M/N's head from momoi curled up fist.
'QUIT IT YOU TWO!! ' 
..hm those two are interesting.. but those two were in a room studying like momoi wanted them too.. more specifically m/ns room. It was simple , clean , and very neat a nice satisfying smell of something.. fresh? filled the room, it fit m/n perfectly.
' i cant believe im doing this...  what's your grade in english hm? ' m/n had muttered the first part though it was loud enough for aomine to hear. he rolled his eyes ignoring the comment ' D ' he answered. simple and dry. that ticked the skater off though he kept his cool. ' and whats your lowest grade and your highest grade. ' 
' my lowest is D which is english. and highest is A in gym. ' obviously... m/n only rolled his eyes of course this hunk had an A in gym.. though its quite surprising.. this thing? having a good grade.. what a joke..
' I suppose we can start off with english.. '  ★
pov . m [ a short time skip. ]
it's warm. thats.. weird. I slowly cracked open my eyes as my vision was blurred. the room was dark , and i tried remembering what had happened. well . from what I recalled...
! ★ fb ★ !
 ' were done for today.. you can head home now. '  i mumbled my eyes were heavy and head was banging from how absolutely stupid this fucker was.. he can't even understand a simple equation? 
'oh? that's some way to treat your guest.. its 1 am n/n. ' i scoffed. who let him called me n/n? i definitely didn't.. ' don't call me that or i'll start calling you dai from now on. get it.. because dai sounds like "die" hah... ' now  I am truly losing it. 
he only rolled his eyes and started.. stripping? out of his clothes only leaving his undergarments on ' DUDE WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? ' I had finally realized the situation throwing a notebook at the boy. and of course he had dodged it ' well. im sleeping over considering it's 1 am.. ' he plopped down onto my bed and I could only roll my eyes. I grabbed a pair of sleepwear heading for the showers..
as I made it to the bathroom I turned the shower on stepping into it satisfied as the steaming water hit my body.. refreshing... I reached out for the bottle of shampoo putting a small glob onto my hand lathering it onto my hair.. the smell of roses calmed me. rinsing the shampoo out I had moved onto conditioner. and then body wash. and that is to when my shower ended.
I slowly stepped out with a towel drying myself , wrapping it around my waist afterwards. I had then moved to brushing my teeth and doing skincare.
after doing such i made it to my room quietly making sure to not wake up those who slept in the other rooms. stupidly unaware of the "sleeping" basketball player who was reading porn on his phone.. disgusting. turning on the light i stared at the blue haired man who was reading a porno.. he only stared back. ' nice body.. though these bodies are nicer.. ' he flipped his phone showing me, i immediately panicked ' YOU IDIOT! ' I threw the clothes I had in hand at him  . 
realizing what i had done i quickly made it to him grabbing the pair of clothes and his phone shutting it off slamming it onto the desk.
proceeding to change into my clothes WITH the light off. my hair now slightly dry though still wet. ' move over or sleep on the floor. ' muttering i could hear shifting and i put my hand down guiding myself only for my hand to touch the warm skin of aomine. ' I said move over you stupid fuck.. ' I could sense him rolling his eyes and smack his arm and he lazily rolled over. 
atlas I laid down on the bed getting comfortable drifting off into a deep slumber..
so.. that's what happenedthat's embarrassing... where is he anyway... 
lifting myself up i had realized i was laying on top of the stupid basketball player..

hi!! i’m just starting my writing account; do you have any tips/tricks for newbies?
helloooo !!!! first of all congrats on starting a writing blog :) it’s SO fun over here ur gonna have a great time trust 🤍 anw these r all from the top of my head sooo yea
MOST IMPORTANT THING: MAKE SURE U ARE IN THE TAGS BEFORE U START POSTING !!!!
i feel like no one ever talks about it but it quite literally makes ur breaks the beginning of ur blog LOL 😭 if this is a new acc you’ve never used ur most probably not in the tags so u have to follow + interact w a lot of stuff ! tumblr j does this to make sure ur a human LOL
if this is an acc you’ve had for a while and u have been using a lot then it’s most probably either u didn’t verify ur email or u have ur blog hidden from searches !! in settings -> visibility make sure u have these turned off :
Tumblr media
in order to check if ur in the tags, post smth random and tag it w literally anything then check the latest section of that tag n if ur post is in there ur in the tags ! if it’s not then ur not 😞 being in the tags is rly impt as a beginner blog since u have no followers to rb ur stuff and get it around yet !
STAY ORGANISED AND CONSISTENT
make sure u have an organised tag system before u start !! make all ur masterlists and rules n all that done before u start posting TRUST ME u will be thanking urself (i’m a second timer on tumblr and i remember the PAIN of making a masterlist later on😭)
link ur masterlist on ur writings as well so ppl can have easy access to it and therefore see more of ur content :)
in the beginning it also helps to be consistent!! when i first started i posted like twice a day but tbh i’m just extra LOL just don’t post and then leave for like a month yk 😣 (unless it’s serious tumblr should NEVER be the priority!!!!!!!)
HAVE REQS OPEN
this one’s really random but i found that it helped a lot w me personally ! i got reqs pretty quickly after making my blog and now the majority of my posts r acc things other people have requested !! i think this helps because u don’t have to think of as many ideas and also cz the people can say what they want so target audience n all that 🗣️
(also it’s just fun to see what they come up with!!!! everyone’s so cool and creative)
INTERACT W PPL!!!!!!!!
i cannot stress this enough!! follow other writers & make friends and have fun w it :) !!! i wouldn’t be here today without my lovely friends on here <3 (SHOUTOUT TO ALL OF U 🤍🤍🤍) honestly this would be SO boring w out them 😣
anyway lmk if u need any more help love u SOOO much !!!!!

Thoughts (since I don't write on Tumblr often
I've been following Jeff's career since like...mid-Kinnporsche airing, I don't remember exactly when but like he had the first 3 songs from his new chapter phase. And honestly, I'm really proud of the guy, like from the cutesy songs he started with to working on a well-defined style and universe, to his now international stardom...Congrats!!
I'm also wondering about the album since he said there was 12 songs, (and we're missing single 9) and Stranger might be released inside the album but there's at least 1-2 new songs. He basically gave himself the opportunity to promote for a long-ass time with all these MVs (and thanks the sponsorships+the money he made for this clip budget) but that also means very little new songs. Like for album 2, is it going to be a mini-album? Or a normal-sized one? Is he going to go the one MV one song way again?
I don't know how thaï music industry works but it's going to be interesting. I hope there's Covid precautions in place at his concerts because I would hate for him to have his career shortened that way. Like fans, please wear masks. I wanna hear the high notes, and he's basically set himself up by having one high note per song (no, you don't need it Jeff) and that makes it hard to not to have public, embarassing false notes (is it how you say it in English? I'm French btw)
The studio posting in advance the Cartier Paris event schedule is funny, I've visited the museum and it's absolutely a visit during opening hours on a normal opening day. They probably privatized it with lots of money, but if they don't it's gonna be funny to see random art students going "who's that guy/why is there so many celebs??"(Paris museums are either closed on Monday or Tuesday, depending if they're state museums or city museums)
He's made quite a lot of connections last year, going from the first partnerships (the cat food one was mandatory) to high-end partnerships with luxury brands. I would love to know what made him choose these ones and reject the others but we will never know what has he been offered.
Also, Chuang! Except for one of the mentors I didn't know, it feels weird to see people I've seen being rookies listening to seniors becoming the judges of today, when the judges used to be people who weren't known celebrities to the idol fan watcher. Now my idols are another idol's idol! Like I'm going to watch a show (on and off because I'm busy) because of the judges and not the contestants! In terms of the competition, I wonder how they're going to be promoted, especially since it's a girl group. Like, when Produce/Chuang was created, it looked unrealistic, and here we are! I think the girls version of the show tends to be the first, and idol girls seem less "guaranted success" than the nth boygroup. Idk about thai music industry again, so idk how idols survive, because the only idol girls I kow in Thaïland are Sizzy from GMM..We'll see, but I hope the show fulfills its role of career launcher without scandals or evil editing.
Back to the actual topic, seeing the Jeff pyjama pic for the show's filming is making me wonder if he's going to be styled in Valention the whole time. If it's the case, we could literaly have a guessing party before the episode teasers, though he's a wild card since he picks women's clothes too. Please show, make him wear a skirt! A pantaskirt?
Also, his haircut, an actual discussion topic (but kpop idols announce comebacks by hair colour, so why not?) is making him look like he's somewhere between 18-22. Like it's only when he styles it back that it doesn't give him too much of a baby face. For his movie, I think they're filming backwards or not in order in terms of time period, because I don't think they're going to do bald cap if he needs to have no hair. We might get short military-like (I hope he doesn't keep it, I love the long hair). But also, is it me or he's started working out the Dorito back way? Like, he's got more arm and shoulder muscles than without workout, but last singing appearance he really looked "guy who works out to have a triangular back" and that may be movie-related as well? Again and again, idk.
I don't really write about stuff a lot, the thoughts often stay in my head, but yeah, here they are!
For his next career moves, I'm mostly curious about how much space he's going to give to acting or being in reality shows, since he's a singer first. I think Wuju is going to be his last work with Barcode as a partner, but I'm curious about where he's going to be casted if he does series again, like he has more options than just the BOC productions (unlike Barcode) and he may become a "pass-around, no fixed ship actor. But we're making plans on a comet now, and I really should go back to working, so bye for now!

Hiya Wench! <3
It's me, the chick who always wants you to explain things xD. I have another polite request (won't be upset if you decline, but I have to try).
I had an epiphany about my posts today - I tag for other people, not myself (twitter influence). And I realized I don't even know how to quickly get to some of the older posts.
And then I remembered your page and how it's all neatly organized xD I previously haven't realized all your tags were actually separating your posts into categories and such... I love it. I had some big brain moments today xD
Would you please have any quick tips (perhaps you already do have them on your blog, I just forgot how to display the blog with the template on) for how to get started with your own template and neatly organized posts you can always find? Maybe even some template creators and such?
I used to do HTML & CSS back in the day, but it's been a long while, I don't have that much time to do trial and error anymore, and any actual coding is out of the question for me. It's gotta be user-friendly. (Free would be best, but I'm ready to reward the work done.)
I'm loving it here now and I post A LOT... I'd hate to reach a point where I don't even know what's on my page anymore.
Thanks! <3
Hi, bb! 💙
I've been asked about this a few times, and I honestly never feel I have a good answer for it, haha. I just like organizing and categorizing things, honestly. Best I can do is share my thought process and a couple of handy tools--Hopefully that'll help give you some inspiration!
My tagging habits actually come from ancient Tumblr functionality--Back in the day, the search function didn't exist as it does now (in which it will (theoretically) scan the body and tags in the post), and you could only find posts if they were tagged in a certain way. Sometimes I wanted to post about game stuff, like Dragon Age, but I didn't want my post to appear in the main tag (because of fanwank hell) BUT I also still wanted to be able to find it later because my blog is for me first and foremost.
So I started using "s: dragon age" to gather all things related to Dragon Age (in which "s" in my mind stands for "series") and "g: dao" for posts specifically about Dragon Age Origins, "g: da2" for Dragon Age II/2, and "g: dai" for Dragon Age Inquisition. And if it was a post I did want to go into the main tags, like a GIF set or fanart, I'd use both the default tags (Dragon Age, Dragon Age Inquisition) and my personal ones for my own blog cataloging.
Tumblr search hasn't worked like this in years, but by the time it changed, I was already in this habit for a while so I've just kept doing it. I do change the way I organize stuff from time to time, and there are some tools that make that easier:
Xkit Rewritten This is a life-changer and has a ton of great features to improve your Tumblring experience, but the "Tag Replacer" specifically is awesome if you realize you want to change a tag en mass.
Tumblr Tag List Generator And this is really helpful if you need to do some tag wrangling and figure out what tags you've used. I periodically run my blog through this to catch inevitable typos in tags so I can change them, and see if I can consolidate any similar tags (e.g. catch if I was using both "g: da2" and "g: da ii" so I could figure out which one I liked more.)
As far as the organization itself and how I choose the categories, it's just vibes, haha. It's just how I catalog things in my brain. Which I know is probably unhelpful. Prefixes like "inspo: ###" and "shows: ###" are pretty self-explanatory. "extras: ###" is for the random stuff that doesn't really fit anywhere else, like shitposts and cute animal pics. "topic: ###" is for more serious subjects and discussions, like LGBTQ+ issues. "mine: ###" is for the stuff I've made.
Two things I wish I had done a better job of is 1) organizing other people's OCs by fandom (if you visit me on Pillowfort, you'll notice I use tags like "other's ocs (cp77)" instead of just "other's ocs") and 2) separating my edits tag into a gifs and virtual photography tag. Calling all video game imagery "edits" is also sort of a holdover from Tumblr days of yore, but I wish I had made a distinction there. (I had never even heard the term "virtual photography" until about 2022, though, and I've been on Tumblr since 2010 so yanno. Whatever. This blog in particular is 8 years old, and I'm not sifting through thousands of posts just to amend that.)
And this is a mostly comprehensive list of all the tags I use, if you wanna see the categories and whatnot in action.
With regards to blog templates, I've actually decided to stop focusing on that here because Tumblr has increasingly become a more app-driven userbase, and the pretty blog templates are only visible on desktop. Tumblr also nuked a lot of functionality of the custom pages you can make, which is where I used to keep my tags displayed. I still have a custom theme, but it's pretty bare-bones compared to what I used to do. (Now I get my CSS fix working on my Neocities website, although that is very much still a WIP.)
But there are fortunately still a lot of folks keeping the custom Tumblr themes alive! You can browse some of my personal favorites under my tumblr: themes tag, and @theme-hunter is a fantastic resource to find free user-made templates.
Oh, and because Tumblr is pushing more for a generic and uniform app experience, you do have to opt-in to activate your custom blog. It's this option under your blog settings:
Tumblr media
And if you want to view someone's custom blog (if they have one), you'll have use the https://fereldanwench.tumblr.com/ URL. If you want to view the dashboard-like version of their blog, you'll have to use the https://www.tumblr.com/fereldanwench URL.
Hopefully this made sense and can give you some ideas to get started!

"Learn to Love (Pt. 5)"
Oooh, unexpected 5th part
That's because of Tumblr's word count, lmFAOOO-
I will post Chapter 1 of the continuation pretty soon! Writing it as we speak, actually
_\V/_
You place two random little figurines on the table, before hurriedly taking them both off. Is it too much? Too little? You NEED to put on the finishing touches before they arrive, but something isn't quite right...
"They'll all be here any moment... ugh, WHY isn't my artist brain being all artsy right now...?"
There needs to be a certain amount of added detail to the table, to make it look fun yet not cluttered. But...
The sound of an enthusiastic chirp interrupts your thoughts. Oh no! They're here! You put the figurines back before making a move. Rushing out the door of the mostly empty storage room, you stop them from coming right in.
"Waitwaitwait! Not yet!"
You wave to dissuade them. Cap, Mimi, Jacq, and Saguaro. You called them in for one specific reason. A reason you weren't ready for, because... well, reasons.
"Oh, that's all right. I can wait for a moment, you?"
Jacq turns to Saguaro, who looks at him before nodding.
"Yes, I have some time."
You feel bad. Saguaro was a little more busy than usual today, having agreed to help bake something special in the cafeteria, which certainly threw a wrench in things. It wasn't either of your faults, however, and you'd be quick.
"Okay! Lemme just... er..."
You run back in, pulling the little gifts you had prepared out from under the tablecloth and in front of your display.
...huh, that... that actually helps. It makes the figurines look less like clutter, too, if that even makes sense. Still, though, you brush off your uniform, take a deep breath, and walk out again.
"Hah, so... you may be wondering why I had you all come over here..."
The boys all nod, but Mimi actually shakes her head 'no'. You're immediately worried.
"Wha- Mimi, did you figure it out already??"
She shakes her head 'no' again, trilling politely. Why? You think back on what it is you said exactly. 'You may be wondering why I...'
Oh, wait. Of course she wouldn't question you wanting to see her. You're her trainer, after all. You swallow down the feeling of the little heart attack you just had before clearing your throat.
"Hehe, r-right, right... ANYWAY, yeah, uh, the uhm... I have a..."
You back away into the room again, this time not closing the door.
"-yeah, sorry, I just wanted to do something for you, to show my appreciation."
"Ooh, really?" Jacq questions, eyes full of curious wonder. Ah... hopefully it isn't underwhelming...
"Y-yeah... so, uh, come in! For a second, at least, heh..."
You turn and walk in with your head down. They follow, and you're honestly kind of terrified of what their reactions might be, but you hear your duo chirp in surprise.
Turning to them, you see them running towards the table in awe. They look at the gift bags, noticing the ones with little doodles of their faces on the tags. Mimi trills in delight, rubbing the electic sacs on her cheeks and discharging a small amount into her own fur. Cap actually squeals- a sound you've never really heard from him before, after he bumps the tag to straighten it out a little so he can see it better. They seem happy just seeing the tags, their reactions actually making you feel a lot better. Grabbing the first bag, a pink striped one, you turn to the man.
"Okay! Saguaro, I wanna give you yours first. You can, uh, take it to your room if you like, don't worry about sticking around!"
You hand it to him, pointedly looking away from him, being sure not to let your hands linger too long. He takes it and bows a little.
"Thank you, I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness. It pains me to leave so soon, but we must thoroughly prepare for today's menu. Farewell, everyone."
He nods at everyone, giving you all a small smile before making his leave. You couldn't help but wonder what it was they were making. Regardless, you clap to yourself, refusing to look at the only other human in the room despite knowing he's looking at you now.
"So! Uh... it's... all right, come here."
You walk towards the table again, picking up his purple dot-patterned bag, the negative space resembling stars. Just like everyone else, his had a little doodle of his face on the tag, but you refused to look at it.
"Here ya go. It's not much, but it's... uh, a thing."
He looks at it. You can hear the excitement in his voice as he looks over the bag.
"Oh, hey! That's me!" He says, no doubt staring at the tag.
"Hehe, yeah, I uh, wanted to prepare you for the theme of the gift..."
He looks up at you, now even more curious before looking back down at it for a moment.
"Aww, you didn't have to do all this..."
You shake your head.
"It's okay, I really wanted to. Not just as thanks, but also because you deserve it!"
"M-"
He makes a weird noise, head shooting back up to look at you before quickly looking away, obviously a bit flustered.
"I see... well, then. I'm honored," he says, finally putting a hand in the bag to start unearthing its contents.
You're honestly horrified he went for the card first, looking away as his eyes scan the cover.
"For the greatest mind in Paldea- aaaww! That's..." he looks away, feeling bashful. "...that's not true..." He sends a little hand wavy gesture your way.
"Well, to me it is..."
You finally look over to him again while saying this, only to see him avoiding eye contact.
"Hehe, thank you..."
He reads the rest, mumbling to himself now. He's smiling, and you can tell it's real, you just find it hard to believe he actually likes it. Maybe it's the self-doubt talking. Maybe you can see how bad it is now that it's been a while since you drew it. You have no clue...
He's looking through everything else in the bag, now completely silent. It's all stuff you either made/drew yourself, grabbed based on random tidbits you got, or stuff that reminded you of him as a person. It felt... personal enough. Oh no, what if it looks like a grab-bag of junk?
'Ohnoohnoohnoohno, please don't hate it, or at least, make fun of me behind my back like a decent person, maybe.'
He's still smiling, though. His upper eyelids are slightly drooped, so it's a weird mix of happy and sad. Solemn, even. He sits down on a large box behind him, bag now in his lap as he goes through the rest of it. The card, a little Arcanine figurine, a small box you painted and filled with random items related to Pokémon, some nerdy memorabilia you knew he (might) like, as well as other stuff on the bottom of the bag itself to really round it out. Just small things, but hopefully it adds up. You're honestly kinda too afraid to look at him, but you force yourself to take a peek, only to notice he's crying.
He's crying. Why? Why is he crying? Ohgodswhatiswrongwhyishecrying-
"...Jacq...?"
You bend down to see his face a little more. He's staring into the box, occasionally looking at the art you did of his team on the lid, trying to stay quiet, but he sniffles a little and makes an even tinier noise. You hesitantly place a hand on his shoulder, which causes his eyes to widen for a moment.
"Uh- sorry, sorry..."
"Nono, don't apologize, please..."
He nods, before falling mostly silent again. You decide to give him a moment, going over to sit next to him, hand placed lightly on his upper back. You take a moment to let the silence set in. It was quite nice, being able to have a quiet moment together, save for being worried about Jacq, of course.
You finally look up at your two Pokémon, before noticing them quickly look away from you. Huh, strange. Cap seems to stare at the tag again, as if trying to will it to do something, but Mimi politely puts her arms behind her back, rocking back and forth on her hind paws just a little. It was then that the fact that they haven't opened their gifts yet hit you like a sack of bricks. Wet bricks, even, if that makes a difference.
"Oh! You guys can open your-"
You don't even get to finish your sentence. Mimi starts to squeak as she excitedly rips the tissue paper out, plopping down and holding the bag as she digs into it. Cap actually jumps up with a chirp and cannonballs into the bag itself, causing it to tip over, him spilling out and back onto the floor in the process. Yikes. Good thing nothing in their bags were particularly fragile...
You watch with an effusive sense of love, just wanting this moment to last forever. You couldn't wait for the rest of your lives together! You'd celebrate their Gotcha Days, show them more of this world you share, you'd let them know you'll never let them go...
Bleh, here you go again. But y'know what? This is better than anything you ever could've asked for, all thanks to this school, as well as the man next to you, who is also watching the scene unfold with a soft smile on his face. You gently rub his back, eliciting a little nod of acknowledgement.
"...this is nice..." he simply states as your Pokémon freak out over their gifts.
Yeah. It is, isn't it?
_\V/_
"...sooo, for reasons completely unrelated to any previously mentioned, I caught a Klawf-"
"-are you kidding?" He asks with laugh. He's amused, but also mildly concerned.
"Nope! Actually, though, I uh... caught a pretty interesting fella," you say, eyes drifting off toward the side a little.
This piques his interest for sure. With a raised eyebrow, he glances over at the battle court, as if telling you to show him without words. You grin, tossing the Pokéball up.
"COME OOON OUT, OLAF!"
Bracing for impact, you hear the sound of a deep bellow, as well as a rather large creature landing nearby. You then hear a surprised gasp coming from Jacq.
"You found a SHINY Klawf?!"
You knew he'd be interested, but anticipating it doesn't stop the uncontrollable beam on your face.
"Yup! I wasn't intending on catching a shiny, but while sizing up another one I found, this guy caught my eye, and I was like, 'wow! Life out here must suck for you,' so I caught him instead!"
You were so excited, you didn't even notice yourself rambling. Pokémon just get you so jazzed, especially your own now that you're diving into the whole "trainer" thing. He doesn't mind, however, cautiously approaching the Pokémon, who was currently looking around the plaza.
"I see... you are very lucky, then! Do you know the odds of finding a shiny...?"
He bends down and observes Olaf, watching as his eyes dart around before catching a glimpse of the man, looking away without fully noticing him before doing a double-take, eyes finally settling on him. Olaf moos curiously.
"Err... one in 4,000... -ish?"
"Correct!" He says, now sitting back up and turning toward you again. "It's quite a special experience finding a shiny. And especially as your 3rd Pokémon, what?!"
You smile, face heating up again as you look away. You really didn't do anything special, but maybe there was just... something in the air today?
"Hehe, yeah, it's pretty neat. He seems pretty cool already, too! See?"
You walk over, grabbing Olaf's claw as you awkwardly shake it.
"See? He just kinda... lets it happen."
Jacq nods curiously, inquisitive eyes searching the Klawf's face. He isn't distressed at all, but he seems confused. Just as confused as you seem to be, actually. Nothing seems wrong to him, so he turns back to you, which catches you off-guard. Isn't he more interested in Olaf...?
"Hah, but uh, yeah! Great news, also. Cap actually listened to me!"
"Oh?" He tilts his head, looking excited.
"Yeah! I think it's time we do a little showcase again..."
You walk towards the center of the battle court, hands slowly moving towards the other two Pokéballs on your belt. You grab them, grinning, before tossing them up as well. Cap and Mimi emerge, letting out their own little battle cries before landing on the ground. They look up at you, both ready for whatever you have planned. You hold out the Pokédex app. Jacq noticeably flinches, but he then smiles.
"All right, you two! Ready to show us what you got?"
They both nod, determination burning in their eyes. A wonderful sign. Mimi runs over first.
"Okay, ready?"
Mimi squeaks before taking a deep breath. It then begins.
She makes a digging motion on the ground.
'Dig'
She hops forward, kicking and swiping furiously at the air.
'Close Combat'
She lets loose a flare of electricity.
'Discharge'
She dances with a very odd rhythm.
'Entrainment'
You clap, whooping and cheering. Cap even mimics you, whooping enthusiastically. Jacq simply claps, but he does seem proud.
"WHOOOOOO! ATTAGIRL, GREAT JOB!!"
Mimi squeaks and bows, eliciting a round of applause from the small crowd you... didn't... realize formed. Eh. Anyway...
"Okay, Cap'n! You're up next!"
Cap chirps, running over to the spot Mimi just occupied. She walks over, joining you, Jacq, and her new teammate Olaf, who she curiously looks up at. Olaf is too preoccupied watching Cap.
"Alright, buddy. Moment of truth..."
Cap lowers his head for a moment before standing up as tall as he can, crying out, and running around to charge up an attack.
"Oh! Zen Headbutt!"
He stops, nodding cheerfully before going to perform his next move. Huh...
He summons sharp leaves before launching them.
'Razor Leaf'
He jumps up, opening his mouth before forcefully biting down on a still-falling leaf, doing a little flip as he lands.
'Crunch'
He forcefully spits out a barrage of seeds into the air.
'Bullet Seed'
You're all overjoyed, loudly cheering him on as he lets out a triumphant laugh. His little underdeveloped arms even mime putting his hands on his hips, just like a Scovillain... he runs over to you, happily jumping up and chirping. You scoop him up in mid-air, squeezing him to your face in a little 'hug'.
"AHHHH, YOU DID IT!! GREAT JOB, CAP!!"
Cap chirps again, rubbing the side of his face against yours, before noticing something wet touch the top of his head. He leans back, only to chirp in surprise when he sees the tears streaming down his face.
You're crying in public. Crying tears of joy of course, but crying nonetheless. In front of people who probably came to see the funky Klawf, only to stay to see your Pokémon perform. You're crying in front of people who have no idea why this moment is so important to you, but surprisingly, you really don't care. This is it, you two are finally in-tune with each other...
You take in a shaky breath, looking him in the eyes. He seems to stare back, as if you're slowly coming to a mutual understanding on something you aren't quite sure of yet. But something deep down inside you tells you things are somehow different now.
You turn to Jacq, closing your eyes in contentment and smiling.
"AHHHH!! The day has COME!! Can you believe it?!"
His response matches your enthusiasm.
"Sure can! You really have come so far. It feels like you first came barreling through my door just yesterday..."
This comment actually makes you pause. Oh yeah, autumn is right around the corner. Something about the thought made you feel kinda cozy, officially being at the school for longer than you planned. This is sorta it, you realize, not even noticing the season's starting to change until now, those cast shadows giving the current tilt in the Earth's axis away...
This brings a look of comfort to your face, smile soft and eyes half-lidded as you stare at the ground. Cap is still in your hands, looking tired as well. It'd be nice, taking a nap or something.
...
...wait...
"Bullet Seed? I thought you were practicing Seed Bomb..."
You look down at Cap, who's face gives it away. He was waiting for you to realize it. You squint one eye, giving him a suspicious yet playful look.
"Hey, buddy? Why are you still focusing on using THAT move, huh?"
His eyes crinkle a little as he lets out a quick laugh, which basically amounts to "Ooh-hoo! Ooh-hoo!"
Jacq leans in after letting out a subdued little laugh.
"Hey, remember, that's the move that brought you two together! He could just be holding on for sentimental reasons."
You smile a little wider. He was probably right. Maybe he keeps using it because of sentimental reasons... or maybe it's just because he's little asshole. Perhaps both reasons are equally valid here? You can honestly see it going both ways at this point. Whatever the reason though, you were happy to admit: you really and truly do love him and the life you've built together.
You feel tears coming yet again, but they don't fall this time.
"Aaaaaww!"
You raise your free arm up, causing Mimi to look up, covering her mouth in anticipation as Jacq's eyes widen in surprise.
"C'mere, you!"
Mimi squeaks, jumping up and throwing herself into your side without hesitation. You take the initiative to pull Jacq into the hug, savoring the moment. Klawf is a bit too frazzled by the whole experience to join, but he observes the four of you, as if getting used to the idea of your dynamic. You give him one more tight squeeze before backing away, making sure to hang onto Mimi as you do so.
Upon seeing him, she squeals in delight. It takes you a moment before you can see his face, placing Cap in your uniform's pocket so you can hold her on your hip better, but when you do...
...hah. Calm down, brain. He's only blushing. You would too if you were hugged out of nowhere like that.
...
Is dating a former student off the table for him, or-

heyy :) erm im gonna fangirl really quick and then the request will be at the end incase you wanna skip to that part or anything, lol. okay so this is very much unnecessary and unasked for and blah blah but i don't care! i believe writers need to hear how much we appreciate them and their works because whew mama! ive been trying to write fics for like months and it actually is so horrible. i genuinely start to angrily vibrate bc my thoughts don't flow on the notes app. but i just wanted to say, nightshade, (ehehe that's so cheeky and silly for some reason) that i reallyyy love your work. its actually like horrific how much your writing just makes me so 😜😊🤭 i know you're not like a celebrity or anything, so it's gonna be weird with this like mini parasocial relationship thing, but please know your work has an impact !! a few months ago, i did something extremely bad and out of character while i was spiraling, and i decided that the best decision for me would be to quit using social media. (and beforehand i had quit using tiktok for like 7 months already and i wasn't that addicted to my phone but i still was consuming negative media) so, ofc, i stopped completely for a good month or so and only ever using youtube every now and then. buttttt, one of the first social media platforms i came back to first... was tumblr! it's actually so silly too because i only used tumblr like 4 times beforehand so i was quite new. but anyway anyway (im a yapper UGH) i really found that your posts had made me feel happy :) idk they kinda reminded me of myself before i went big bad that one time and it made me inspired to go back to how i used to be... u get me?? you're writing literally haunts my brain oh my lord it should be illegal to read your stuff because afterwards i literally have this crazy ass urge to read more and more and more. im lowkey an addict cause i be having my deadlynightshade withdrawals. the way you write is just so 😫 gosh, it's beautiful. i also love ur sillyness because like ME TOO. your random little posts are so me coded and i love it. YOU'RE SO FUNNY 😭 uhmm i just wanted to say thanks for being super cool and talented because believe it or not, the stuff you put out makes me really happy! (that was so melodramatic like mf they write about spencer being a pathetic pussy drunk bitch why are you saying it changed ur life?? its true tho.) erm yeah that's the end of that part i just again wanted to thank you 🙏 i wish we were friends SO BAD like you're actually awesome what the fuck.... but like how do u even become friends w ppl?? LMAO ERM ANYWAY 😍 can you write a blurb or h.c or something (honestly anything will make me happy) about valentine's day?? 🤭 basically spencer being SO FUCKING SHY because you can't stop touching his hands or hair subtly or like kissing his cheek leaving marks from lipstick or like getting him his favorite snacks/drinks/books/textures/ basically a gift that made u think about him?? ugh or him doing the same with you like him being the best fucking nerd boy ever and spoiling you so much like he goes ape shit spending well over his funds limit but it's worth it because it's you? or like sweet soft cutie pie sex? at the end of the day and he's like... Erm.. Pussy for 1 please! you were so pretty today... You always are-! (I'm mentally ill and writing this at 8:37 pm on a thursday night.)
this is. the sweetest shit anyone has ever said to me i actually cried ngl to you.
i'm genuinely so thankful for the little community i have created here i never expected such an insane amount of positivity and love from people just for the whack ass shit i write but that's probably just my perpetual self hatred and disbelief that people enjoy anything about me🤞
i think it's crazy how people on the internet who have never met me, don't know me, what i look like, or anything can treat me better than any of my friends have and i'll always be thankful for that.
ALSO! i love being called funny pls kiss me i never think i'm actually funny istg
i was also planning on writing a valentines fic ALREADY but this made me wanna write it even more as a thank you for this message it genuinely made my week(can't promise it ON TIME for valentines but i can try!)
i'm also so glad that my work and blog makes you happy, there's no privilege greater than making someone smile even when they don't feel like it</3

Starting a Pokespe challenge (May 1st 2024)
•So, basically, I started reading the Pokespe manga last month and last week I decided to give it a shot and attempt to challenge myself to something. As you might know (if you've read the manga yourself, course) they usually give us the natures and characteristics of the protagonists' Pokémon and, well, let's just say that I'll be searching for them as faithfully as possible to their manga canon! My target will be Ruby (mostly because Sapphire's torchic is a female and I don't like to suffer that much) on Pokémon Alpha Sapphire cuz I felt like playing it again after reading ORAS arc. I'm a shiny hunter so I kinda have the experience with trial and error when it comes to Pokémon RNG so it's not that new to me. So, let's begin with today's updates.
•I started this challenge on Friday (April 26th), and since then, I've been resetting for a Male Relaxed Mudkip that likes to relax. Let's just say that it was a damn pain, the resets took a while given that I had to skip all the dialogues from the professor every single time, yesterday I had the brilliant idea to change my 2DS' date to match that of Ruby's birthday because that's when he got Mumu and, today, I open my 2DS, do one reset and low and behold:
Tumblr media
Mumu acquired!
This was definitely a moment to commemorate ngl. Anyways, I used a small strategy, I'm not sure if it helped or not but basically I instantly soft reseted any Mudkip that had 20Hp given that, from what I understood from Bulbapedia, the characteristic "likes to relax" derivatives from a Pokémon's highest IV being Hp and having a specific number. So yeah, Mumu's home!
•Next step was going Ralts hunting thanks to its ability Synchronize, which will help me a tons given that it makes finding a certain ability much easier. I'm still missing a Naive one for Kiki but the others are home.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media Tumblr media
•Next step was getting Rara which, honestly, could've taking a lot longer than what it did
Tumblr media
Rara acquired!
(and I'm out of pokeballs and money)
Anyways, now the only thing left to do is to progress the game because I have no money left yay. Time to go visit my dad that doesn't care about his family I guess :D
Tumblr media
And he immediately puts me on babysitting (jk) duty just to not connect with his son
Tumblr media
Wally's music is kind of a banger ngl. I honestly dunno why they would put the catching tutorial here cuz there was plenty of time for you to decipher it by yourself.
Ur kinda late to the party, friend. Online service is no more!
Tumblr media
After beating random children I finally got enough money to buy some pokeballs I decided to search for the last Ralts I needed, took me a while but finally he decided to pop up!
Tumblr media
I still had a few pokeballs left and I was on the right route to find Nana, which I did quite easily, literally the first one I found after the previous mentioned Ralts
Tumblr media
Nana acquired!
(and my wallet is still in a critical condition)
Only Feefee, Kiki and Fofo left!
Well, Tumblr doesn't allow me to post more pics so I guess I'll leave the rest for part two! I guess I'll call this "Ruby team challenge" kind of a self explanatory name.

It's my 5 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳 --- Wow it's been 5 years since I tried to learn to draw properly and post them here 😅
Long rambling under the cut
Honestly it was pretty challenging for me because my study (when I started this blog) was pretty intense, also I live at home, commute every day to go to class so finding time & energy to draw is out of the window. I'm always amazed that most of my fav artists are real university students too, who probably have it even harder than me but they can draw a lot better... So why can't I??
The thing that I learned over time is, I improved faster when I draw fan arts. Because I have real and strict references to follow, unlike when I do OC where I usually just random bullshit go. That's why you see me posted fan arts more here. I just do my favorite fandom to motivate myself lol.
I am a picky person regarding fandom because mentally I can't handle so many heartbreaks (HAHA). And I need a fandom with diverse things to draw. Fate series is very perfect for me. I really like their ideas and the characters are just challenging. I've been into it since 2016-2017 and my pre-Fate art compared to today is... dkgeagwefgwk. I owe my skill growth to this fandom. My first post here was a Tomoe Gozen fan art 😂
I got into radar twice (which is still weird and unbelievable) because of a Noragami FA and my first A:TLA FA ever posted. Which was funny, because I don't draw them that much. But then again, my first "exposure" was from a random Taylor Swift ink art for a random inktober in 2019. That was so surreal lol.
Maybe you notice another fandom I draw a lot too, yes the game of all people in this world: Genshin Impact. Man, I started the game in release and thought "I have to make at least one fan art with the scenery of the game, and maybe this gonna be my first and last GI fan art." And look where we are now. I didn't expect this game would blow up, I believe the first FA I posted was one of the earliest Genshin post on tumblr 😂.I started doing GI FA also because I am mesmerized by the landscape and want to draw landscapes better. You see, there's this kind of reason in EVERY media I'm involving myself into. I simply like pretty and cool things. Sadly at some point the fandom is hell, so I like to take a step back sometimes.
Few months ago I also did some vtubers FA. Although mostly HoloID only, simply because I'm proud of them. Vtuber community has this unique relationship between Vtubers and derivative works, so you can feel real accomplishment when you showed your work to them.
Still, I still highly prefer to make real good original art and story someday. For now, I guess I have to grind first, because my current level is still not where I want to be yet to achieve that.
I use tumblr to post because I like the blogging and tagging system, however this site isn't popular in my country and my marketing for local cons isn't effective if I only use tumblr. I have IG, but I don't like it, thinking I should make twitter or something. AAaaA. My wish for now is to make many money with art lol (at least to supply my disposable income).
And some little things about myself, I'm working now, but not in creating art/design field. It's more of a history and research field (I do still interested in design... if I have the chance--yes I graduated from design thingy school). This blog is like... my creative outlet. The girl on my avatar is my OC Klappy, a gjinka of klappertaart. Klappertaart is the name of an Indonesian dessert (well, the name itself is dutch I guess) made from coconut topped with raisins. Dalr is an acronym from my real name. Thanks for reading, have a good day.

Hello!! I was rereading Little Favors (for the hundredth time now probably, it's just so good and wonderful and always gives me butterflies when I read it) and getting to the part where Kol says that he's never been anyone's best friend before just hit me so hard. Like when was the last time he'd been able to just be around someone? To be able to nerd out about magic without it being a life or death situation? To just have fun with people he can trust won't stab him in the back? It all just made me want to wrap him up in a blanket and let him relax and have fun.
(On a slightly lighter note, I was listening to the song Seven by Sleeping at Last and the whole restless wanna see and know and experience everything really reminded me of Kol)
Sorry for the ramblings, it's just every time I read your fics I just get so many thoughts and I had to share. Thanks for being your awesome self! -🍪
Okay, first of all...
Second of all...
Tumblr media
Thirdly, you are so right! I thought it was so, so sad that we never once saw Kol make an actual friend without any drama or ulterior motives to hide. I mean there's that undefined period of time during which Kol pretended to be friends with Jeremy Gilbert but, honestly, that's just more sad. It's why I headcanon that Kol has BPD or Borderline Personality Disorder. It's highly likely that he believes he has to create an entirely different personality in order to be liked or cared for or loved - that just Kol himself will never be enough for anyone, that no one will ever love him for who he is instead of what he can do for them. Of course, he had Davina, but that relationship was drowning in drama and hidden agendas from the very start. Though she forgave him for abiding by Esther's mandates seeing as he really didn't have much of a choice, Davina still only associated with him after that for his "witch encyclopedia brain". I think that's just incredibly sad.
Edit: This rant was originally much longer but this post got messed up by Tumblr. I'm not sure how, but it did. Anyway, Anon, if you're still willing to associate with me after this train wreck of a post, I just wanna say that I listened to Seven. I love Sleeping At Last, but I'd never heard that song before and I LOVED it! You're absolutely right, serious Kol vibes there. Somebody should make an edit to that song. Not me bc I'm not good at editing and I'd never be able to do it justice, but SOMEONE NEEDS TO!
Also, never apologize for rambling. I can't express how much I love your asks! I want to hear every single thought you've ever had about my fics, or about the fandom in general. Heck, I'd love to hear what you ate for lunch today and how your day is going! Thank you so much for being here and supporting me. You're amazing and I love you and I hope you find a random treasure trove of free change in your pockets next time you do laundry!
Tumblr media
Until you ask again!

Thank you @martsonmars and @you-remind-me-of-the-babe for the tag, reminding me it’s Sunday. I am here to make up for last Wednesday, when I had nothing to show. I have three things for you today!
First, six sentences from Time After Time/“damn Baz, you live like this?”. It was pretty hard to pick them, since I don’t want to spoil where the story is heading to, but I think these are vague enough:
I tilt my head and raise an eyebrow, silently asking what is going on.
“Simon?”
“I love you,” he blurts out. I can’t help it. I start to smile, even though I notice that he doesn’t smile along. In fact, he looks desperate, as if he needs to me to know that he loves me.
The full chapter will go up tomorrow, because I finished it in time! In fact, I have finished writing the fic! I can’t believe it either, because I’ve been stuck on this fic for over a damn year, but I have @facewithoutheart (and Doctor Who season 9 oop) to thank for shoving me in the right direction. I think I also know what to do with the two endings: both. I added an eleventh chapter called [REDACTED] so that I could still sort of post ending no. 2 as a separate thing from ending no. 1! Excited!
And look who’s back, back again? Klaine! I really want to participate in the Klaine Word Scramble, and a random idea came to me. I haven’t written anything else but these six sentences, so I definitely will not post the story according to the schedule, but that is okay:
Blaine is proud of his position within the community. Everyone loves his homemade scented candles. His stand is a staple in the local farmers market. 
But now a new neighbour has opened his own business. Kurt Hummel sells his handmade soaps and all of Blaine’s clients are flocking his stand. Jealousy does not look good on Blaine, but he can’t help it.
Now I just need to find a damn title.
And lastly, my dude MCD (Matt Christopher Davis) has thoughts on Simon:
I take a look at the Chosen One. He has only been part of the World of Mages for a few months, but he’s already gotten himself in a lot of trouble because of this whole Insidious Humdrum shit. He’s constantly missing classes and Miss Possibelf says he’s on missions for the Mage and the Coven.
But honestly, I don’t care. I mean, I care about the Humdrum, because that thing eats magic, but our Chosen One can be the hero who saves the day. The rest of us just lives here, you know?
Tagging @quizasvivamos @blurglesmurfklaine @coffeegleek @esperantoauthor @otherworldsivelivedin @bookish-bogwitch @caramelcoffeeaddict @sillyunicorn @wellbelesbian @artsyunderstudy @bazzybelle @dragoneggo @captain-aralias @ivelovedhimthroughworse @cutestkilla @raenestee @takitalks @urban-sith (Tumblr tried to make me tag undertale for some reason) @facewithoutheart @tea-brigade @thnxforknowingme​ @confused-bi-queer​ @tectonicduck​ (I don’t know if you write, but you always like my damn Baz stuff, so here ya go!)​

So I'm now officially homeless. Today is my last day in a hotel room. My asshole of uncle kicked me and my family out of the house we've been living in for two years thanks to my grandma's kindness. And he has her convinced that for those two years, we were using her money to buy everything. We weren't. I really truly love my grandma but she's 72 so of course she believes him because she doesn't know any better. We've spent every penny we ever earned on my uncle and his family and my grandma. I'm far less upset out my grandma though because again she's 72. At least we have a car to live out of. I'm with my mom and my brother, but I'm 15 so I can't really do anything. Do not even try to help us please, random people of Tumblr. We won't take your help, we won't even take the help of my friends. I am so done with my uncle and his bullshit. We go to drop off sodas, and they glare at us like were the worst people in the world. All we did was eat two cheese sticks from a single pack they bought when they eat literally all of them from the like 60 packs we've bought, and they get mad at us. They accuse us of stealing a mountain Dew with us sitting right there. They accuse my mom of being a bad mother when she's done a hell of a lot more for her kids and their kids than they ever have. I honestly am glad I was sitting in the car waiting to be driven to school when the fight went down. It was just screaming but still. If I was in there I'm afraid of what wouldve happened. We can't even go back to grab more of our stuff st the moment. I'm going to probably take a break from Tumblr for a while. If you read this entire thing, thank you. I'm sorry it was so long of a post but I honestly needed to say something and was only able to do it here because these people have the other social media's I have when none of them know what Tumblr is. I will be back, but not for a while

Back.
Todoroki Enji x Reader
A.N. so, uhm, hi! I've finally decided to give writing a shot! This is my very first attempt to write something for Tumblr hehe🤭🤗 comments, critics, tips are very much appreciated! But, please be gentle! Hating on stuff doesn't help! That said, it's supposed to be a multipart fic, but I don't know how many/when others chapters will be posted! Just be patient 🙏
> not proofread!
Here we go! Enjoy!
A loud and deaf ringing broke the peaceful silence that enveloped the mansion. Soft thuds against the floor followed a heavy sigh. "Yes, yes. Coming, I'm coming."
"Hello?" You answered, lifting up the receiver.
"We want you back." Said the voice on the other side of the line. A short second of silence.
"We need you back" recognizing the voice, a dry chuckle escaped your lips.
"Me? Back? Must be a big ass problem if you want, no need me back, Ma'am President." She didn't comment, just a "two of our agents are coming to pick you up tomorrow, first thing in the morning."
With no further explanation, the call ended. Another sigh from your part, you commented "It must really be a big, big problem if they're calling me back on action."
Moving back towards the couch, you put the phone to its rightful place "Oh well. Guess we're going to find out tomorrow. At least I get to get out of here for a while" you continued, stretching your arms.
With that you sat back to your corner on the couch, taking your book where you left off. The rest of the evening went on like usual: cooking, eating, taking a shower and to bed.
The next morning the agents rang at your door. Two wardrobes wearing black suit and tie, you thought. "Good morning Ma'am." They greeted you "we're the agents designated to escort you to the ProHero commission headquarters."
"Good morning to you too, Gentlemen." You greeted back with a soft smile on your features. You hopped in the car, and the shorter man closed the door after you. The route to the building was quiet, without much conversation except for your random comments on the weather or the streets you haven't drove for a while and the polite replies from your escorts.
At 9.00 a.m. sharp you got off the car and Sawamura-san, the shorter one, as he introduced himself when you asked their names, bid you goodbye one last time before you entered the palace. Hopping in the elevator, you felt a strange sensation at the pit of your stomach. You tried to calm your nerves by smoothing down the greases on your Ralph Lauren three pieces suit. Last time you crossed this doors and walked this floors was almost 20 years prior, and at the end of the day you lost almost everything you had.
7th of June, 2020. First day of trial for the cause "The Nation Vs (l/n)".
The court room was busy with chatting, and you felt as if the air was getting hotter by the minute with all these people whispering and shushing between themselves. You honestly did not know what to expect during this trial.
Your last operation ended a mess: too many civilians involved , buildings reduced to dust and to top it all the villain was found dead a few blocks away from where the disaster took place. It was supposed to be easy, just a regular everyday mission: find the bad guy, get the bad guy and take him to the police. How it came to such a disaster, you still didn't comprehend.
"All rise for judge Watanabe", the chair screeched against the floor when said mand entered.
"We're here today to examine the lawsuit n.36725 'Nation Vs (l/n)'. This first day we're just going take a look at the proofs each part has gathered. Lawyers, if you please."
A ding brought you back to the present. A big 137th on the wall right in front of the elevator's door signalled your arrival at destination. On your right, another door and another agent waited for you. The man, way slimmer than the two who accompanied you here, let you in and you nodded politely to thank him. Inside, four leather armchairs displayed around a glass coffee table told you the meeting wouldn't be just between you and the president of the ProHero commission. You could already feel a headache rising, just thinking about the chance that he could be here too. You bit the inside of your cheek in an annoyed way. The nervousness you were feeling in the elevator almost fading: the impending possibility of meeting Todoroki Enji again, after all these years and right in this place, made you see red and clench your jaw. Fuck. Great. you thought Just great. 19 years of pent up anger to one specific person, and he's most likely to show up. What a fucking lovely day it is today.
Final Notes: names and numbers (I'm specifically referring to the years the total is set, and also the 19-20 years apart! I didn't gave the chance to count them correctly) are made up! Also, I don't know if there's a ProHero commission president, and if so if they're a woman😂 the idea just mad sense in my head. I suppose this is everything for this first part. Bye byee

your writing is so nice and i need to read more of your fics desperately. i really admire your speaking/typing style and such, it has good vibes in general. i can tell you're passionate about the things you care about and it's very contagious!! and lastly, your blog has old vibes... it's very nostalgic, i appreciate it, it's like coming home after a long day. i hope to talk to you more since i love fcbf and cfv too.
Me *blinks*.
so someone actually saw that post? *Blinks again.*
[inside head: i know very few people who love both FCBF and CFV, but I still can't guess who this is. Does that make me clueless? Or am I just.....*gasp* a cinnamon roll? Nope, that's probably quite self-absorbed haha.]
First, thank you for replying to my post- you made my day today! The Tumblr of my mutuals has been pretty inactive, so I've been rolling around on my bed like a hamster in depression ʕ⁠っ⁠•⁠ᴥ⁠•⁠ʔ⁠っ
Answering this post may be the highlight of my time here so far. Frankly, I'm a bit needy tbh - I love user engagement and knowing that someone cares to remember what I've been posting!
Although I have no idea who you could be, I can say with 200% certainty that I would love to talk to you more. PM me anytime, tag me anytime, I'm always up for it- if you're willing to drop me your username too, I'll try and get in touch with you as well!
I'm extremely gratified to hear that you like my fics! I think I reblogged a Neil Gaiman quote on this blog before that pretty much attests to how I feel.
"making art is akin to sending out bottles with messages in them into the sea."
"and now, the bottles are coming back."
Yours is the first bottle I've gotten on Tumblr, and THAT. That is a milestone for me. It's so encouraging to know that you value my writing, that someone is taking the time to flip through the online pages of rhetoric and prose I type out at random times, that someone is looking forward to seeing more of these pages.
It's almost as if I'm making a small promise with that person, that makes me feel just a little less alone. I'll do my best to continue producing fics :D
Also, I'm glad I passed your vibe check! I do try my best to reread my typing to make sure I don't inadvertently offend anyone, so I'm pretty relieved to hear that I have succeeded....to some extent. ᕙ⁠(⁠ ⁠~⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠~⁠ ⁠)⁠ᕗ
Besides that, I'm
Exultant.
To know that my passion is contagious. This is the sort of contagion that's good, right? Healthy, obsessive contagion that inspires one to spend their nighttime scrolling through Tumblr till 6 am instead of sleeping....good contagion indeed, for my mental state if not for my physical health.
That said, I'll probably try and coax my passion into a better sleep schedule too.
And last but not least - my blog brings up nostalgia for you?
Hmm. That may or may not be a product of how I constantly skate through the timeline of Tumblr, reblogging posts that are years old.
Tee-hee. 🌟
Like coming home after a long day.... I'm positively flattered to receive such a compliment. Old is gold, right? Speaking honestly, I'm truly happy that my blog brings back good memories for you.
Let's talk some more sometime soon 💕💖🥰

I truly can't believe I'm using tumblr. for the first time in years to make a blog post about sobriety, but I'm loving the nostalgia.
I am sober for five years today. The reason it feels different is because I just got out of the most rewarding year and I officially feel like I know who I am. And I'm digging it. I wanted to share what sobriety has taught me in celebration of this anniversary that feels special to me.
Sobriety taught me how to process and face my emotions. I chose to be sober at 19th, and besides a couple random drinks over the years, I stuck to it. However, life drastically changed the year before my 18th birthday and thus began the year of drinking and drugs. I don't have lots of regret luckily, but also a lack of memory during that time. Now, I understand that I didn't want to process what happened in my life and truly didn't have the stability to do it. I'm thankful now as the trauma my life felt based around feels a lot smaller now.
Sobriety taught me how to have friendships. It wasn't until my 20th birthday when 5 people showed up, compared to the year before when 20 showed up, that I understood how to categorize friendships. However, I went through a period of judgement towards people. If you didn't have baggage or trauma, I didn't want anything to do with you. It took time to realize that I shouldn't shame just because I had it hard and others didn't. I should celebrate it. It took me until 23 to understand not everybody has to be my bestfriend. And some people can be there for different reasons, just like I would be to them.
Sobriety taught me how to have fun. I've always been a person who can go out without alcohol. But I had to dive deep in my brain and really learn to enjoy things completely as they were, including myself. And I did.
Sobriety taught me how to truly connect with people. I mean this with friends as well as partners. I think it's easy to wear rose-colored glasses while being fucked up or having deep talks while rolling. Those were fun experiences, yet temporary and meant a lot less the next day while feeling like garbage. I learned how to have sex and what I wanted in partners. I also fell in love once which was pretty cool.
Sobriety taught me how to face my mental health. The day I got sober, I was having the worst hang-xiety of my life. And my OCD kicked in full gear. I proceeded to have days long panic attacks and didn't understand what it was. I had no control over my brain. It was very easy for me to quit because of this and why I don't plan on drinking again. I don't enjoy my brain being altered in any way anymore. And I'm at peace with that.
As I write this, my OCD still sucks and I have not figured out my life yet. I'm neck deep in SZA's new album, Jagged Little Pill, and various other songs that you couldn't PAY me to admit are on my heartbreak playlist. And honestly I need to do my laundry.
I also live alone in an apartment I love. I have the most amazing friends that are growing alongside me in so many different ways. I love thinking about the future again and am so content with my vibe. I enjoy my solitude so much. My family is making moves and The Last Of Us TV show is thriving.
I've learned that life will always be a mixture of good and bad. When I first was sober, I truly did think everything would change instantly. My mental health, my body, my sense of worth. But it wasn't until now, at 24, that I feel like I have finally made it through what I needed to and what I thought sobriety would just make happen. I understand now sobriety was just MY first step into the process of being human and what life I want to lead. And I'm really proud.

new interests, fandom, and just well everything that been happening lol
ello y'all
it's definitely been forever since i've last posted here, or well, existed on tumblr for a good while now. i haven't really drawn any leem or any Madagascar related stuff in MONTHS, and just my general smelly self moving onto new things to go all HAAAAAAGH over n' whatnot lol
for about a recent good month now, I've been into marine life, and of course, i absolutely ended up fixating over it, evidently realizing how much i was into aquatic/marine animals before i officially was into them lol
it felt GREAT honestly because i was mainly into birds for like- what? 3+ years? and i didn't really have much good memories being a bird and i really wasn't diversifying my interests much idk- i was into leems for like almost a whole year but of course that died down
maybe it'll come back up? im not really sure honestly
i have this weird mentality that i HAVE to fixate on a species, that if that fixation slows down, it apparently means i ain't into them anymore and i really just feel like I've been forcing myself to go nutso on things and i just tend to feel really bad sometimes cause of how sudden my interests are and that i just think too much about them
i also always think of trying to do some grand project/idea all the time like, holy heck why? why do i gotta devote myself so hard into liking something? i don't understand myself and things and just AUGHh
but i have gotten a genuine interest in marine life, and that interest exploded quite rapidly actually lol
just in general;
i gotta stop devoting myself so hard onto an interest like its some obligatory thing, and that i really need to calm down on my ambitions cause holy christ i listen to one SPECIFIC song and i end up thinking of a whole movie, comic, show, rise to attention, EVERYTHING and AUGUHHH sometimes my overly imaginative brain can be such a pain sometimes BOOOOOOOOOOO
anyways uh
yeah im a leopard seal now and I'm currently in the seal team (NETFLIX MOVIE NOT THE SHOW AAAAAA) fandom, and if any of y'all are into seal team, do lemme know cause i wanna follow fellow seal team fans (which is, albeit, quite rare cause I'm not really sure IF there are any fans here on tumblr? I've seen some videos on youtube but even then that was seldom and the views were kind of low
thats kind of all i suppose, thank you to the one random viewer to looked at this and went "okay" and ate a loaf of bread after xd
also summer school just started for me today but even though it did i will definitely try my hardest to post more on tumblr, though i must know should i make a separate account for my seal team/general marine-related stuff or no since i don't wanna overhaul everything ae

I've been using this message for some time now through "Ask" and if ever I've been a nuisance to your Tumblr life lately, I apologize. I mean no harm and all I am asking for is time and help. Again, I am hoping for your understanding and kindness. My previous account/s was/were terminated probably because the platform detected it as a donation post and hopefully it will not delete this before June 2. Thank you!
"Hello! I am Gab, 28 years old and my mother is battling breast cancer. If ever this is the second or third time I sent you an ask message, I apologize. I'm just trying to reach random people here for urgent help because of a life and death situation. If this is the first time, hi! Hopefully, I'm not disturbing you. Again, I'm sorry for bothering you but if you have an extra time and space in your account, can you check my pinned post here, reblog, or share it? I'm doing an urgent donation drive for my mother's chemotherapy this June 2 (supposedly, May 26 was her first session but it was moved to a later date due to lack of funds). Our story, donation details, and links needed are in my account as well. Feel free to browse it so you'll know our journey more. We're trying to raise $4500 - $5000, the approximate amount we need for the chemotherapy. As of today, we were able to raise $489. Still a long way to go but please know that our family appreciates any help or amount you're willing to give or share. It would mean a lot and a life to us. Thank you very much! Wishing you safe and happy days ahead."
Please do not feel like a nuisance, this is honestly the first time im seeing this in my inbox but even if saw this dozens of times i wouldn't be mad. I don't have any money of my own to spare but ill spread the word. You and your mother have my prayers.
