Ideas for a scenario where the Reader meets the Creepypastas? Perhaps Laughing Jack, Slenderman, and Ben Drowned if that's okay with You?
Meeting Laughing Jack, Slenderman, and Ben! (platonic)
or as i like to say; reader being the main character and being spared by the silly monsters!! very heavy on the hcs in bens segment with the "hes stuck in electronic devices" thing i got going on with him eheheh platonic for the simple fact that this is a meeting post!
Tumblr media
SLENDERMAN:
would it really be a meeting with slenderman if i didnt bring up his pages? i think i made a joke post somewhere where your vibe alone intrigued the entity enough not to krill you on the spot... and given how i sometimes write slenderman to be a curious creature, i think it would be fitting that we revisit that idea! though, i dont think you would properly meet on your first encounter; no i dont think you guys formally introduce yourselves to one another until a few days/weeks after the event, when you notice that hes taken to following you around and sticking to the side.. honestly in a weird way its endearing, youve gotten the attention of this old forest monster... creepy but cute! like a stray puppy but if the puppy was like ten feet tall and faceless! thanks to you looking into him on the trusty internet you already know who he is; but you decide to go talk to him anyways. probably go into his woods again after he initially lets you escape... kind of slowly cocks his head to the side when looking down at you and listening to you tell him your name... you kind of jump when you hear /his/ voice in your head telling you that he already knows your name.. friendship.. if you can even call it that, starts off as just him observing you and learning your routine for the first few weeks... youre going to have to make the first big moves in order to get that man to do more than watch
LAUGHING JACK:
whenever i think of scenarios for the reader meeting jack, it always circles back to one main idea. i personally think that jack is in some way tied to his box. you know, the box to his jack. that box.. i think its like a cursed object, like you get it and jack is going to start messing with you not long after. usually i imagine the reader purchasing him at a garage sale, and then the antics ensue... imagine waking up one night and seeing this giant clown leaning down to your face, his cone nose lightly poking the tip of your own nose... you shouldnt be blamed for being even just a little spooked! and.. well next thing you know you have this clown roommate. i think not freaking out is key in making sure you dont die? i mean lj thinks krilling is mostly a game thanks to isaac and usually the victim is well... scared, naturally.. perhaps being outwardly calm dismisses any idea that theres a game going on. shrugs, thats the only decent idea i have... now go domesticate that clown! make him your best friend! or your malewife if thats what you want! just know hes going to be attached to you by the hip; a friend who wont leave him! how fun!
BEN DROWNED:
sure i could say that you go to a garage sale and buy the DS ben is on but thats boring and jack already has the garage sale idea... so im going to be a little different here. i have a headcannon that about 80% of the time ben is tied to a device, but he does have the ability to hop around if theyre linked up in some way... i think a hard drive could work, how he got into one we dont know... but lets say you find a random one, and against your better judgement you decide to plug it into your computer... and oop...! you have a virus.. but no matter how hard you try to look for it you cant find anything... no one can find anything, but your computer is acting so.. weird... its not until it starts leaving notes that you think that someone is doing something... you think its some dark web stuff going on.. what could they want? you guys talk back and forth. at first its just you trying to figure out what the person wants, but over time it turns into just simple chatter... though theres still a tenseness. youre still convinced its someone remotely messing with your computer until that 20% of the time where ben isnt confined happens... needless to say youre absolutely shocked to find a random teenager in your room at your computer, getting water absolutely everywhere mind you! definitely going to need a minute to process whats going on; but honestly i think ben is less of a kriller and more of a troller, at least in my mind... does lead to you trying to find out what happened to him, and perhaps try to find a way for his soul to move on.. funky sibling dynamic, i think

Omegaverse/Blankshipping
Someone sent me an anonymous ask talking about Omegaverse, but they ended it with this: *not an anti or looking for a fight tho! just really interested in fd history overall. plus i vibe w literary analysis :) pls dont answer this ask! this was an impulse info-dump on my end lol*
I'll respect that, but I want to talk about a few points they wrote on here for the fun of it. Save it about touching grass. I do that all damn day. Sometimes I just want to go online and say some goofy shit. (USUAL WARNINGS APPLY: R-18 EXPLICIT OFFENSIVE)
Anon wrote: tho tbh i am kinda sour about the fact that male omegas dont have periods :))
Really?! That seems misogynistic and also unhealthy af. Since this whole fandom is a dog analogy to me, I'd compare male omegas to those grody messes of English bulldogs that are unable to do all aspects of breeding without human intervention. They should have let natural selection run its course and let all those flabby lumps of flesh die out. After all, they can't birth without c-sections, and they can't even do the deed to make puppies. Breeders have to rely on artificial insemination.
Whoever created this kink obviously didn't world build outside of the asinine fetish. A male omega would obviously require a c-section so they don't hemorrhage to death squeezing an infant out their rectum, and they would most certainly have a period, but the menstrual blood might not have any place to go except back up into whatever version of ovaries they have. Then from there it would turn into fibrous tissue surrounding all vital organs. They'd all need routine laparoscopies done to remove the severe endometriosis growing around their vital organs, otherwise they'd constantly be in the fetal position suffering severe chronic pain.
Also they wrote: it's mostly a way to make your mlm ships "work". wc i guess makes abo theoretically weird and harmful w the way it makes gay ships approximate heterosexual relationships? also there is some ingrained misogyny to it... its a slippery, slipper slope. but nggl, thats not something you should put into mind as much! the things ppl enjoy are not complete reflections of their beliefs or who they are hehe
It doesn't work with mirror twins who are genetic copies of each other and therefore can't be opposite genders.
The blankshippers keep throwing out that 'your fantasies have nothing to do with who you are irl', and they have this huge persecution complex like they think so many people are out to judge them and harass them. -Come to find out, they are cliquish and JUDGEMENTAL AS FUUUUUCK. They will stew over some little slight and then label you as a horrible person over it....but don't you dare judge them for the sick-ass weird shit they are into. I found this out when a bunch of them were gossiping on Discord about me (it's fine; you can keep on keepin' on and I won't hold it against you *wink*). Two of them blocked me, so I can say mean stuff about them, and they will only find out if someone goes out of their way to tell them.
One clown, "Tombstone" was secretly stewing with resentment while we interacted back-and-forth when I'd reblog his/her posts. I thought we were having fun, but this person didn't like how I interpreted fan art wrong when I'd attribute my head canons to other artists images, and I supposedly used the word 'retard' when reblogging one of his/her posts. The only time I remember (goofing around) doing this was a long-ass time ago, calling Emmet a 'crazy-retarded God-killer'. I thought he/she might have been talking about this, but no go. He/she said that I should stop saying mean stuff about Emmet on his/her posts, yet he/she constantly dehumanizes Emmet, is into torture porn about the twins, and turns them into a serial killers and/or monsters. There's nothing meaner than that.
Another clown, "Dingo" is like....good riddance. This artist makes Emmet's facial expressions look mentally retarded af. He/she likes drawing Ingo's jacket but has issues with Emmet's for some odd reason. Also, he/she is the one who did a gross bull/cow drawing where Ingo was wearing a full arm glove that presumably goes up a cow's vagina that's roomy enough to accommodate an entire human arm. -Nothing gross and inappropriate about that. Nope. No sir. -Also did dog-fucker. I can almost see the invisible stink lines coming out of them.
The worst part is that he/she draws the twins looking gross and skanky with scruffy hair. They don't seem like the skeevy tramp-stamp sort of dudes. Sure, they look like clownish creepy puppets, but they also look rather crisp and shiny and fresh. They look like the sort of guys who would smell pretty....walking into a room engulfed in a cloud of good-smelling cologne. Even when Ingo was in Hisui, I'd bet he was the type to bathe in the hot springs twice a month, instead of just once a month like is customary for Pearl Clan members. When he'd reunite with Emmet and be told he was rather ripe, he'd reply, "Why...I was just in the hot springs a week and a half ago!"

In Loving Memory (Bucky Barnes imagine)
Tumblr media
Request: @missroro the reader is steve twin and she married to bucky after the blip, she had enough of the 'new captain america' thing shes really mad, so when walker and his friend start talking about joining forces she snap like she pull out a gun and pointing right at them, also sam ofc dont forget about sam. Sam trying to stop her while bucky "nah let her do her fun"
Words: 2021
Warning: !!TFATWS SPOILER!! without context - violence
A/N: wrote this today, it basically follows the events of ep3 of fatws but without context. I have a couple of exams this week so I won't be able to post until next saturday. Until then, enjoy
"You shouldn’t have gave him the shield"
Sam frowned, turning back to look at Bucky.
"I didn’t gave him the shield" He defended himself, making a point.
"Well, Steve definitely didn’t" Y/N ironically answered back.
He gave her a pointed stare. They had had this conversation countless times and Y/N never missed a chance to remind him of what she thought was a huge mistake.
"You are the reason this is happening, Sam. You chose to take on my brother’s legacy and threw it out the window"
The man didn’t reply and pursed his lips. He knew she didn’t mean any of her harsh words, she was angry and still mourning. If taking it out on him could make her feel better, he would let her.
"Y/N, stop" Bucky took a step toward his wife, clasping her hand in his metal one. He had hoped the physical contact would be enough to calm her down.
"He abandoned me, Sam" She continued, her voice filled with emotions. "He was gone and all I had left was memories. I chose this life for him, I fought with him, I believed in everything he represented. I looked up to him, to Captain America. And today, even those memories are gone, taken by the same government you and I were up against, mocked by clowns pretending to be heroes, all because you gave up"
The Falcon closed his eyes and dropped his head. She couldn’t see his point of view, or share his opinions when her judgment was clouded by so much pain. He wished she could understand the dilemma, the duality that represented the shield for him.
"Y/N, please, that’s enough" Bucky whispered next to her ear.
She turned her head toward him and as usual, his heart broke when he saw the torment in her eyes. She didn’t need to speak, she was an open book to him. They both had lost so much and yet were all each other had left. They were collateral damage, their own team against a world that wasn’t theirs anymore. She silently nodded, assuring him she was fine. Sam watched Bucky kissing her forehead and he furrowed his brow. He would never admit it but he was glad they had each other, because no one could carry that much pain alone without crumbling apart.
Before any of them could add anything, soldiers in blue and red erupted in the room, bursting through the door of the apartment where they were hiding in Latvia. Bucky instinctively grabbed Y/N and forced her body to move behind his. The two man stood in front of them, tall and proud, a smug smile on their lips.
"Alright, that’s it, your time is up" The man calling himself Captain America announced, the shield in one hand, the other pointing at the three avengers. "Tell me where Zemo is"
"We know you’re hiding him" His sidekick added.
"I’m ordering you to turn him over"
Sam eyed them up and down.
"Let’s be clear, the only thing you’re running here is your mouth" The Falcon firmly replied, crossing his arms.
"I gave you a chance to work with us" He mentioned.
" ‘For us’ is the correct way to put it, tough guy. And we said no." Y/N reminded him, her face showing how much she was annoyed.
"You’re obviously in over your head so I suggest you turn back and go" Sam argued.
"You really want this conversation to go there ?" The hero threatened.
Bucky straightened up when he felt Y/N tensing. He knew she was already on the verge of snapping. One wrong word from the man she hated and this could go down to hell.
"Should I put down the shield ?" He continued to challenge Sam. "Make it fair?"
The woman groaned and when John Walker dropped his weapon, without a second thought, she grabbed the nearest knife and threw it right at his face. The man had barely enough time to move back and his eyes rose in surprise when the blade stuck itself into the wall with force.
"Sorry, it slipped" She ironically explained, shrugging.
"You don’t want to play this game with me" He tried to intimidate her, tilting his head to the side.
She smiled, pleased he was giving her the opportunity to smack his face. Bucky clenched his fists when he saw her walking in front of Walker. Without tearing her eyes away from his, she seized her knife and pulled it out of the wall with a sharp movement.
"I think someone should teach you a lesson, Walker" She told him in a low tone.
"Are you offering ?" He challenged her.
"Don’t tempt me"
"You’re lucky you’re his sister" He grinned. "But don’t push it. This Captain America is not as lenient as the previous was"
Bucky swore under his breath. It was too late now. And just as Sam looked at him with concern, Y/N threw her fist in a curved punch at the soldier. He used his forearm to counter the blow, but she was faster and had far more experience. Using the momentum, her foot rose up and kicked him in the face. The man was thrown back, shaking his head in confusion.
"We should do something" Sam advised the former assassin.
"No. Let her have her fun" He crossed his arms, harboring a small smirk.
The soldier tried to hit her back, but even when he took the shield she blocked his attack. His sidekick soon joined the fight and distracted her for a second, just enough time for Walker to punch her. Immediately, she felt the taste of blood in her mouth, but no pain. She was passed that, far too pissed to feel anything.
Another blow on her chest send her to the ground and Hoskins hold her down while his friend was about to hit her with her brother’s shield. He raised it in the air, with every intention of beating her, but a strong metal hand stopped him in his movement. A very infuriated Bucky stood before him, his blue eyes darkening with anger. He firmly took the weapon, knocked Hoskins out with it and threw it across the room.
"If you wanted to make it fair, you shouldn’t have chosen to hit my wife" His tone was terrifying.
Walker didn’t seem as confident anymore. Bucky looked imposing, brute force ready to strike. His metal arm clenched in a fist and, without warning, it collided with the soldier’s jaw, sending him a few feet away. He strode to the man on the ground and grabbed him by the collar of his uniform
"This is all easy for you, isn’t it ?" Walker spoke with venom, staring at Bucky. "All that serum running through your veins"
With a swift movement, Y/N took the shield and launched it with power right on the soldier’s chest. The blow was so violent his body crashed into a door before landing on the floor. She was furious by his statement and he could see it with every step she made toward him. She grabbed the gun attached to her thigh and pointed it at his face.
"Lesson number one: learn when to shut up. Especially when you don't know what you're talking about" She was fuming but had not intention on killing the man, despite the sheer desire to do so.
She didn’t realize Sam was next to her until she saw his hand lowering her gun.
"This isn’t what Steve would want." He calmly expressed. "Remember, there’s always another way"
Her lips quivered and she closed her eyes, remembering how many times her brother had told her that. She let him take the weapon and looked up at him. The conviction and kindness in his stare were enough. He didn’t have to say anything. Every words she needed to hear, he spoke them in silence.
She turned back to Bucky and he cupped her face, inspecting the bruise on her skin. He seemed ready to go back and beat the man down. Y/N softly smiled and clasped her hands around his wrists. He stroke her cheek and pulled her toward him before carefully kissing her lips.
"Good ?" He asked in a soft voice he only used with her.
"Good"
It was something between them, a single word they spoke every time they fought. Wherever they were, whomever they were up against, if one of them asked, the other had to answer. It was their intimate way to always know they were alright.
Later that day, Sam and Bucky had decided to go talk to the leader of the Flag Smasher, Karli Morgenthau, while Y/N had been charged to follow Walker and Hoskins. As soon as she had seen they were going after the young super soldier, she had warned her friends about the danger. She knew enough about the new Captain to guess he had no intention on arresting Karli. He wanted to make justice himself. She pitied his sidekick. He seemed like a decent man with good ideas struggling to find virtue on the wrong side of the battle. He was Walker’s collateral damage.
She wondered what Steve would think of all that if he could see them fighting both super soldiers and Captain America. He never cared for the star and stripes, never used his shield to harm. His heart was with the people he defended. Even when it had been against Tony, he pursued what he believed was best. Was that what Walker was trying to do ? She couldn’t know. But she was sure of one thing, the man had nothing in common with Steve. Pride, ego and selfishness were never traits anyone would have used to describe her brother. She couldn’t bear for him to be replaced, especially to a man that didn’t share his morals or any of his opinions. The shield he was carrying wasn’t just a weapon, it was her brother’s symbol of hope, a symbol he had fought so hard to forge. The man made the uniform, not the other way around. That’s what Walker didn’t get. Up until that point, people had not been following Captain America, they had been following Steve Rogers.
Standing in that public square, she didn’t realize she was crying until she felt Bucky entwined his fingers with hers. She couldn’t avert her eyes from the horrific scenery. Powerlessly, she watched a man she didn’t know being executed. His opponent was merciless, striking with determination and rage, using the only piece of memory she had left of her brother to bring terror and death. Frozen on the spot in the middle of the crowd, she could see the fear in all those strangers eyes and it felt like grief coming in waves, a shard in her guts that would never leave. It felt like this particular moment was choking the breath out of her body, short circuiting her mind. What was whole once completely shattered and she couldn’t find the strength to be angry anymore. All her brother had built had fallen apart in the split of a second and all the world had left was a bloodied image of his symbol of hope. A symbol that was no more.
“Sam...” She called him, almost like a scared child.
“I know...”
Both men looked worried. Y/N felt Bucky’s hand trembling and she squeezed him harder. She could easily guess how he felt. Steve had saved both of them, he had gave them a purpose, had allowed the former assassin to be more than the weapon Hydra had made of him. Pieces by pieces, he had brought their family back together. And as they both stood there, witnessing the horrifying end of his legacy, Bucky realized everything his bestfriend had fought for was turning into dust.
"I’m sorry" Y/N whispered to Sam. "But there’s no other way now"
Her husband dropped his head, trying to regain a sense of control over his emotions. Wordlessly agreeing with her, he turned to their friend.
“He has to be stopped”

very very specific call for information: anyone out there deal with out-toeing caused by external tibial rotation (duck feet from a fucked up tibia) AS AN ADULT?
im putting this out here because 1. theres like no fucking information on the entire internet about adults who never grew out of a common childhood problem (unlike children, who self-correct by strengthening muscles, my tibia is an inherited condition. mom has it but not nearly as bad) and 2. i just want to know more! especially what im looking at for recovery.
e: im me from the future. this post is so long and boring and navel gazey so i added images in the hopes it might trick you into wanting to share it.
Tumblr media
i only just started this process yesterday: after a series of free association google searches stemming from the fear that i had developed peripheral artery disease at age 31, i discovered symptoms i had been attributing to other random issues (pain radiating down leg? i must be bloated and pressing down on a nerve. pain in shins when i walk even for a short while or up a single flight of stairs? i must be out of shape and destroying my body. knees swollen with fluid in the 4th grade? bursitis, etc) could pretty much all be traced back to my fucked up leg.
my right leg (/my/ right) is visibly fucked from the outside and always has been since i was born. the left is as well, although to a much less (and likely ignorable) extent than the right. i’ve know about this forever; my parents at one point took me to a doctor who was like “yeah she’s shaped like a twizzler” but didnt actually recommend any action. therefore, it was assumed by all that there was nothing we could do and i just had to suffer my junji ito uzamaki curse forever.
Tumblr media
which would suck because it’s not great. my family was not receptive to any complaints i had about my body hurting growing up so i just gave up on giving a shit about it. i’m going to start from the top bottom on pain:
sometimes i walk with a limp because my hip and knee joint would work in tandem to get a sharp pain that makes putting weight on it hard.
during my period, i usually end up with at least a day or two where i get deep toothache like pain in my thigh. its always there, not throbbing, and it just. aches.
for some reason my body favors it so when im standing i find myself almost completely leaning on it (which just makes it hurt more later). i can feel myself fucking my knees up when i do this because of how it has to shift around the twisted bone.
my knees swell up every time i kneel and put weight on them (growing up catholic made this excruciating).
walking is a nightmare. i usually try my best to pretend like my shins (specifically) aren’t screaming from mild exertion. i bought a step machine thinking i was just out of shape and a big whiner but it didn’t ever get better no matter how much and how consistently i did it. i though i was just assigned a really dogshit corporeal form that wasn’t built for improvement.
dont even think about running, buddy. i flip flap around like im wearing clown shoes AND it hurts like a bitch.
speaking of which, i also trip and fall on my own feet a lot. the doctor asked me this like “you don’t find yourself falling a lot while walking, right?” and i had to laugh because i eat shit at least 2x a month. i have a huge scar on my foot from last year.
Tumblr media
now im about to upload some pictures of my legs. try not to scream. ignore the bruises, i spent all day yesterday/day before completely re-arranging my office so i beat the crap out of my legs lol.
Tumblr media
here they are together, standing comfortably. im using the edge of our ugly tile as a straight edge for reference.
Tumblr media
here’s the left one. i have no idea if this is normal. the doctor i saw yesterday said it was “less pronounced” on this side. i agree.
Tumblr media
i look like im uploading instructions on how to hokey-pokey. anyway: right leg in. notice how it is, indeed, fucked up when lined up against the edge.
Tumblr media
and here’s the knee straight. i really thought this was normal and i just had to deal with it for the rest of my life lol. i mean i still might uhhh let’s find out.
I AM LOOKING FOR INFORMATION FOR ADULTS:
pretty much everything online is for kids with assurances that they’ll “grow out of it” and absolutely no info otherwise for the rest of us. now for my QUESTIONS:
-which surgery would be done to correct this?
-i am an american, any idea what surgery cost might look like? (lol ignoring insurance, i want to see if im even close to the ballpark of it being feasible)
-how long is the surgery recovery time?
-can physical therapy correct this? if so, how long would it take?
-can you direct me to more information on living with out-toeing/duck footing/external tibial rotation? how can i manage symptoms?
-does anyone want to study me, because apparently im a rare specimen. im minting myself as an nft or whatever. fuck
ok thank you. please share if you want to but remember to tag it “long post” for people who dont want to be attacked by this big wall of legs

https://peralta-guaranteed.tumblr.com/post/669249098504912896/theyre-having-sex-and-amy-gets-up-to-pee-and-her just read this and wonder, of course just if u are in the mood and want to, write about how they got there with her not even able to walk if u know what I mean 😌
It’s not that she doesn’t like what they’ve done so far. It’s not like she isn’t a fan of Jake Peralta, the constant class-clown of the 99, suddenly turning all soft and kind and careful around his new girlfriend. It’s not like he hasn’t driven her crazy these past few weeks with warm hands, long caresses and lots of tender kisses while he basically unraveled her and all her anxieties in bed.
It’s not like she hasn’t already decided, somewhat subconsciously, that this is how it’s really meant to feel. That this is it, both in bed and out of it, at least for her.
It’s just that...
It’s just that sometimes, a strong, capable, confident, independent woman wants her brain turned into mush and every muscle in her body brought to that kind of incredibly nice feeling of soreness and ache by the man above her.
And it seems like tonight, after gently pushing and prodding Jake towards just that their past few nights together, he seems to have finally gotten the hint. Or over his own hesitations that made him pull back each and every time he’d finally grip her a little more roughly, made him slow down whenever he’d finally get to a breath-taking pace.
Maybe it’s the tension of a really bad week at work finally letting itself out into his passion. Maybe it’s the two or three beers Charles shared with him that loosened up his defenses a bit. Maybe it was the far too obvious flirts Amy had whispered into his ear on their Uber ride home, or the way she’d pushed his hand under her skirt to let him feel exactly what kind of outfit he was expecting to see once they got home.
Whatever it is, Amy is very, very thankful for it as Jake continues to push her up and closer to her headboard with each thrust. His hands are on her hips, that soft crease he usually only nibbled along, gripping with a strength she knows she’ll remember tomorrow still. His fingers push into bitemarks she feels with a slight sting, reminding her of the teeth that made their way across her skin back in the hallway, after he’d sunk to his knees in that way that always makes her shiver a little, and before he’d lifted her up off her shaking legs when his mouth had done its wonderful work and carried her to bed. 
He’s not let up since basically throwing her onto the mattress, and it doesn’t feel like he will any time soon. Amy’s hands are squabbling around for something to grip until they find the headboard barely above her, push against it and help her rock back against him too as he drives into her. The room is filled with the sounds of her, falling from her lips without her control, and she’s sure there’s been quite a few praises and begging in them too, but she can’t really remember what day it is, let alone what she’s been moaning the past few minutes.
“Jake- oh god-” She manages with a shaky breath, and he replies with a low groan amid his own panting. His hands release her hips, leaving behind a trail of red little bruises as they rush up to her chest, squeezing and massaging and roughly rubbing over her nipples before he bends down to suck one of them into his mouth, and it’s not just that sensation that makes her whine even louder. The change of angle as he continues to pound her presses his skin against her still kiss-sore clit with every move, rubs along it just the right way to send sparks from her stomach down into her legs.
“Fuck-! Don’t-” She exlaims as he nibbles and licks across her chest. “Don’t stop, Jake, dont-”
As if he’d ever consider that an option, his hips crashing against hers as he moves further up to kiss her, swallow down her continuous moans and pull her tongue into his mouth while her hands leave the headboard and dig deep into his hair to hold him close. Her legs, previously spread as wide as possible to take him in between them, link around him instead, her ankles pushing against his butt to press him into her, and it’s all too much, and just perfectly right, and she can’t-
He breaks out of their kiss as she comes, and she knows he’s watching her face lose all control as she lets out the most depraved noises, but she can’t find herself to care. Not when her whole body seems on fire, heat rushing out from between her legs where he’s continuing his heavy pace, all the way out into all of her limbs, shaking and clenching and tensing every muscle in her body. Not when she can’t even see his face staring down at her, her vision obscurred by sparks and stars before she squints her eyes shut with a shudder. Her legs start to feel numb and tingly as they press around his hips still, but he doesn’t let up as she whines, and she can feel a softer, second crest coming over her as he pushes closer into her, thrusting turning into grinding and rocking instead as he buries his face in her shoulder and she can hear the deep moan of his own orgasm around her shivering and twitching body.
Jake finally slows down and stops, their chests pressed against each other as they heave with panting, his hot breath against her sweat-slick skin raising goosebumps around her neck. He drops down as Amy’s legs unravel around him and fall as well, his whole body pushing her down into the mattress instead of upwards now, and she relishes these new sensations as her eyes slowly clear - the weight of him a comforting thing she didn’t know she could crave this much, the heat of him enveloping her like a hug. The room smells like them, heady and overheated, and she huffs with a smile as she feels those familiar, soft, careful kisses skirt across her clavicle before he lifts his head to look at her with hooded eyes.
He smiles, too, and she wants to say something, but it’s hard to form any words with her breath still uneven. She wants to say it, the words, the big thing that’s been thumping away in her chest for a few weeks now, but it always felt too early, too nervous about scaring him off, and she knows she certainly doesn’t want to hear it first thing after sex, as incredible as it may have been. But she knows it - she knows it with all of her heart, and she has the slightest suspicion that he does too. So she pulls his head down for a kiss instead, and hums as he deepens it, drawn-out and soft with his tongue finding hers and a little whine buzzing through it as he pulls out of her, leaving her aching just a bit.
She can feel her legs tingle with that static rush buzzing through them as he rolls off her, gets up on equally shaky legs to head to the bathroom, and she misses his warmth and the feeling of his body beside her before he’s even completely off the bed.
There’s not much time to miss him, though, before he climbs back under the covers, snakes an arm around her waist and nuzzles into her smiling cheek.
“Your turn, babe.” The gentle prod of fingertips to her side is the only sign he’s willing to let her go at all at the moment.
“I know. Gimme a minute.” Amy hums as kisses trail down her neck again, soft and familiar. But there’s the quickest sting of teeth inbetween too, and they send shivers down her front all the way down to her still numb legs. Getting up might be a bit of a challenge right now, actually, but she huffs again as she turns to give it a try.
She can already feel her body going sore as she sits up, the tension in her still static legs, the heat from the bruises on her hips, and she loves every single bit of it. It’s only going to get stronger when she wakes up in the morning, but she also knows the sweetest man in the world will be there to kiss every part of her awake, and she might even be able to cajole him into a little massage if she promises good returns on it.

SERIES MASTERPOST
masterlist
Tumblr media
Valerie is curiously watching her dad work on the portable bed they’ve brought over for the night, her little hands clutching onto Rosa’s shirt as she is telling you all about the list she has made for you. It’s not a long one, but you try to focus on every word she says, making sure you won’t mess anything up.
“I put an X behind the important ones,” she explains pointing at the paper and you nod, eyes roaming down on the few X’s on the list. “The other ones are just suggestions, things I thought you should know.
“Got it,” you nod again, biting into your bottom lip. Bath time, feeding, sleep time, everything is covered in the list and you’re happy she even mentioned the smallest details. Some things might be natural for her as she’s been doing it for months, but it’s your first time completely alone with a baby. You surely don’t want to mess this up, especially because you want her to trust you and let you look after Valerie more often. They deserve a break now and then.
Steven finishes the bed and backs out a few stuffed animals along with two blankets into it, making it look cozy and familiar for Val.
“But most importantly,” Rosa starts and you look her in the eyes. “Call us anytime if you need help or want us to take her home, and I mean it.”
“Not gonna happen,” you shake your head, earning a sigh from your sister.
“Y/N, I’m serious. We are thankful for the help, but it’s not your duty, alright? Just call us anytime, really.”
Nodding your head you flash a smile at her, knowing well nothing on Earth is gonna make you call them tonight. Okay, maybe there are some cases when you would call, but those are quite unlikely to happen.
She hands Valerie over who curiously eyes you before grabbing a handful of your shirt and making herself busy with the fabric.
“It’s gonna be fine. Have a great night, you deserve it,” you smile at them. Steven straightens up and curls an arm around Rosa’s waist as they watch Val in awe, clearly a little worried they are gonna spend an entire night without her, but you can tell they also can’t wait for some alone time.
“Alright, we should get going,” Rosa sighs and stepping closer she kisses Valerie’s head and then your cheek as well. “Have fun with your aunty! We’ll be back for you in the morning, Sweetie.”
She runs her hand over her little head and Valerie smiles at her happily, completely oblivious to what’s really happening. The joys of being just a baby!
Steven says goodbye to her as well and you all head to the door. 
“So, we’ll be here around eight, she is usually up by six. Do you want us to pick her up sooner?” Rosa asks standing at the front door.
“Sooner? I was about to tell you to sleep a little longer, you don’t have to come so early.”
“But we don’t want to take away your whole day, you need to rest too,” Steven explains, worry all over his face.
“Stop worrying about me, I’ll be fine. Just enjoy your night off! Come on, I’m throwing you guys out, time for the sleepover to start,” you tell them, shushing them out the door. 
It takes some time to finally get them to leave, but they eventually do. Then it’s just the two of you, alone for the first time.
“Ready for your first sleepover, Val?” you ask her, standing in the hallway of your apartment. She just stares back at you, saliva drooling from her mouth but even that looks cute on her. “Alright, let’s do this.”
You braced yourself for the worst. Thought about all the possibilities how the evening would go, but you hoped they wouldn't become reality. Unfortunately, baby Valerie had different plans for the two of you.
The first hour goes by fine. You feed her, have a little play time, reading her favorite book to her, but slowly, you notice her losing interest in anything and everything. Soon enough, you see her face distort into a grimace and a few moments later she starts crying and it’s straight downhill from there. 
Nothing can get her to stop. No food, no toy, absolutely nothing. You clown around, trying everything that pops into your mind that would calm her down, but it doesn’t seem like she is about to stop anytime soon. 
You start to panic. Rosa told you how fussy she is because of her teeth coming, but you didn’t think it would be this bad. When she’s been crying for an entire hour straight, for a split second, you think about calling Rosa. 
“No, not gonna do that,” you say, while Val is still screaming in your arms. “Valerie, what do you want? Tell me and I’ll give it to you, I promise! Just please stop crying!” you whine desperately, but, no surprise, no answer comes from the screaming babe in your arms, just more tears, puffy eyes and red cheeks from all the crying she’s been doing.
Trying to rock her into calmness you are moving around in the apartment when you hear your phone ringing. You instantly think it’s gonna be Rosa, wanting to check in on you, but how are you gonna answer the call when Valeries is screaming from the top of her lungs? She’ll come to pick her up straight away, no doubt about that.
Rushing into the kitchen you are relieved to see that it’s just Harry calling you.
“It’s not the best of times, Styles,” you sigh as you answer the call and put him on the speaker, leaving the phone on the countertop, so you have both your hands free for Valerie.
“Hey, I was just-- what the fuck is happening?” he asks hearing the deadly cries of Val through the line. “Is that Valerie?”
“It is! I’m looking after her so Rosa and Steven can celebrate their anniversary, but she just wouldn’t stop crying! I don’t know what to do!” 
You’re absolutely desperate. It’s so bad you can feel your throat closing up, nearing the edge of your patience, tears threatening to roll down your cheeks, but you tell yourself only one of you can cry at a time and Val has taken that spot quite some time ago, not even giving you a moment to let loose.
“Text me your address, I’m leaving now,” he orders and you snap your head towards the phone.
“What? No, Harry--”
“Just text me the damn address, Y/N!” he barks and the line cuts off right away. 
Your desperation pairs with shock now, not knowing what to think about this short, but quite eventful conversation you just had with him. It takes you a few moments to collect your thoughts, but you end up sending him your address. 
Nothing changes in the twenty minutes while you are waiting to hear anything from Harry following your text to him. Valerie keeps crying with three seconds of pauses when she takes a few deep breaths only to start screaming once again. Aside from the headache she is causing you, it’s becoming pretty impressive how long she’s been doing it. You probably would have fainted by now, but it seems like Valerie is running on an endless battery.
“You are really making it hard for me to be a cool aunt, Val,” you mumble, the baby still in your arms as the tears keep rolling down her face. Your light grey shirt is now soaking wet, both from her tears and your sweat from the anxiety she is giving you, mixed with some other things you choose to ignore where they came from.
The doorbell makes you jump, but Valerie doesn’t even bat an eye at the sound, she just keeps going.
“You need to teach me how to have this much energy,” you mumble under your breath as you walk over to the door. 
Opening it you find yourself staring up at Harry who is wearing a brown coat, dark jeans and a black hoodie. If you had to guess what he was doing on this weekend evening you would have said he was out with friends somewhere, picking up girls, but he surely doesn’t look like he was anywhere else than his home, the clothes are hanging messily on his frame, like he just threw them on in a rush.
His green eyes look straight at you at first before moving over to the crying child in your arms. You fully expect him to say something along the lines of “this is the kind of effect you have on others” comment, but it seems like he notices the fear and despair in your eyes and he keeps his mouth shut.
“I honestly have no idea what to do,” you choke out and the tears start flowing from your eyes as well, making Harry have to deal with now two crying human beings.
“Oh my, please don’t cry, I can’t take two crying women at once,” Harry begs as he steps inside and shuts the door behind him. Turning to face you he reaches for Valerie, you hand her over to him, hoping she would magically stop the crying, but she clearly couldn’t care less.
“Why, can you take one?” you ask with a bitter chuckle as you wipe your cheeks.
“Not really,” he admits, making you smile. “So what have you tried?” he asks as he starts swaying and rocking Valerie in hopes of getting her to stop, but not even Harry’s charm stands a chance with her right now. Deep down you’re happy you weren’t the reason she got so fussy and upset, would have been pretty awkward if she stopped the moment Harry took her into his arms. 
“Literally everything,” you huff, shoulders falling forward. “I went over the list Rosa gave me, tried everything, but she wouldn’t stop. She’s teething, but this is… It seems like there might be something else maybe?” you tell him worried that something serious might be behind her behavior. You really don’t want to call and bother Rosa, but you are nearing the point where you’ll give up and ask for help.
“Maybe she needs to be changed?” Harry suggests holding her up, giving her butt a sniff, but you roll your eyes at him.
“You don’t think that was one of the first things I did? She is as clean as she could be. Maybe I should just call Rosa,” you sigh in defeat reaching for your phone but Harry snaps at you.
“No! Don’t, we can figure this out. Steven has been so excited to have a night off, we can’t ruin this for them. Come on, we have to have the slightest parenting skills and solve this without them.”
Nodding you agree with him, but you’ve completely run out of ideas.
“So what do you suggest?”
You can see the gears turning in Harry’s head as he is trying to come up with a plan, but it’s not like either of you have any experience with babies. The idea of calling Rosa is starting to burn in the back of your head, fear of failing this challenge taking over your thoughts.
Then Harry looks at you with a look that screams that he has an idea. You’re just about to ask what came into his mind when all of a sudden he starts to sing.
“Well, sometimes I go out by myself and I look across the water, and I think of all the things what you’re doing and in my head I paint a picture…”
You instantly recognize Amy Whinehouse’s iconic song, the one that’s also behind Valerie’s name, you know that for sure. Rosa was obsessed with the song growing up, she would sing it on the way to school, in the shower or while making dinner. You weren’t surprised she chose this name for her first daughter.
What surprises you that Harry sings like a literal angel. He hits the notes perfectly, nailing the lines like not many can and you listen to him with parted lips, eyebrows raised. This was the last thing you expected from him, but then again, it’s not the first time Harry has surprised you through the years of knowing him.
Valerie stops for a moment, her hiccups shaking through her body as her tear-filled eyes look up to Harry, and you both think this is gonna be the moment when she finally calms down, but he doesn’t even reach the chorus before she starts crying again, a defeated sigh erupting from him.
“Maybe she wants it instrumental,” you suggest and Harry gives you one of those ‘are you fucking kidding me?’ looks as you leave to run down the hallway, right into your bedroom.
“How am I supposed to make it instru-- what the hell, Y/N?!” He gives you a weirded out look when you return with a guitar in your hands. “Since when do you play the guitar?” 
“Since like… eighth grade,” you tell him as you sit on the couch and holding the guitar on your lap you try to find the right accords. “I told you, you know nothing about me.”
Harry nods with a surprised but amazed look on his face as your fingers strum against the chords. It takes a few minutes but you figure it out and glancing up you give a questioning look to Harry.
“From the start?” you ask and he nods his head, continuously bouncing up and down to try to calm Val down.
You start playing the song and soon enough Harry joins you with the singing, the two of you perfectly nailing it even without any practice.
“Stop makin’ a fool out of me, why don’t you come on over, Valerie?”
Maybe it’s the guitar, maybe it’s the singing or maybe the fact that the song has her name in it, but by the time you reach the halfway point in the song Valerie’s crying slowly starts to fade. You instantly share a look with Harry, but don’t stop, fearing that she might start again if the music stops. 
Her tear soaked cheeks smooth out as she is not screaming anymore and you can actually see her irises finally, her long lashes are sticking together from the salty tears and you know it’s gonna take some time for her to regain her normal state, but at least the crying has stopped. 
“‘Cause since I’ve come on home, well, my body’s been a mess. And I’ve missed your ginger hair and the way you like to dress…”
You tear your eyes off Valerie for a second, letting yourself wander over Harry’s features as he sings. He slightly furrows his eyebrows focusing on the lines, so his forehead has a few creases on it. His lips form the words so clearly and elegantly, you wonder how often he sings. Is it something he only does when he is on his own or he likes to perform as well? 
The only time when you heard him sing was at the bar when the two of you slayed the karaoke machine with that Avril Lavigne song. You were smashed by then, you remember that he had a nice voice but it was the last thing you paid attention to. Besides, he was kind of equally drunk as you, it was all for just fun, but now is a completely different situation. 
It’s no surprise Valerie finds his voice soothing, you’d probably stop whatever you were doing if you heard him sing. There are people with a good voice and then there are the ones that not just have a good voice but also that small something, that extra magic in them that makes you melt as their voice caress your ears. Harry is definitely the second case, for a moment you forget where you are or why he is there singing. It’s just his voice and the gentle strumming of your fingers on the chords. 
At the end of the song he starts repeating Valerie as the song slowly fades into nothing and you both stare at the little girl in his arms, clearly afraid she might start crying again. Unfortunately, your reservations become valid when you see the corners of her mouth curls down and you and Harry share a shocked look immediately.
“What else can you play?” he urges as Val whimpers in his arms, letting you know she does not appreciate that the singing has stopped. 
“Shit, shit! Um, something from ABBA?” you propose and Harry nods quickly, not even asking which song you know, so you take it as a sign that he probably knows all of them.
The first song that comes to your mind is Andante, Andante and you don’t hesitate to start playing again, just in time. Valerie was just about to start crying again, but as soon as the melody hit her little ears she calmed down and listened to it with tired looking eyes.
“Take it easy with me, please. Touch me gently like a summer evening breeze…” Harry sings the words and you can’t hold a smile back as he, once again, hits the notes just perfectly without missing a beat.
You’re convinced there’s not one person on Earth who has never heard a single Abba song, most of the population knows them by heart, but somehow you couldn’t really imagine Harry to be a person who knows the lyrics to the songs as well. But he does and sings it without messing it up even just once. It’s hard to imagine a younger version of Harry singing ABBA songs when they come on the radio, but the more you think about it the more the picture paints itself in your mind.
Valerie lays her head to Harry’s chest, stuffing her thumb into her mouth as she listens to the performance. She is probably enjoying the vibrance of his voice shaking through his chest and maybe this is what brings her the peace she’s been looking for all this time. Your heart skips a beat at the sight of them.
Harry glances at you, eyes so soft you melt under his gaze. However nerve wrecking it was to have Valerie scream for hours, she is still the cutest little thing ever as she rests her head on his chest, her long blinks giving it away she has definitely lost most of her energy. 
You don’t dare to stop the singing and playing. When you near the end of a song you quickly think of something else and whisper it over to Harry, who then gives his feedback on it with either a nod or a shake of his head. Most of the time he knows the songs you suggest so the show continues without a stop. 
Half an hour passes by when you see her eyes slowly closing. You still don’t stop though, only when Harry tries to listen to her breathing and he realizes that it was completely slowed down. She is out.
“Holy shit,” you breathe out quietly, your fingers feeling numb from the playing. You haven’t had a guitar in your hands for this long in a while, probably for years. Harry shares your relief, his throat has completely dried out and he is happy to finally breathe evenly, not just sneak a few breaths in between lines. 
“And now what?” he mouths as he is still gently swaying around with the sleeping Valerie in his arms. You put the guitar aside and check if she is for real asleep. Her long lashes are spread out on her puffy cheeks, gently snoozing into Harry’s chest as if she weren’t screaming for dear life just an hour ago. 
“Let’s put her down,” you whisper and nod at him to follow you. 
Reaching your bedroom you only switch your bedside lamp on so the light doesn’t wake her up. Pushing the stuffed animals to the side you grab the blankets and let Harry do the critical job. Leaning down he oh so slowly starts to pull her away from his chest, careful not to move too suddenly, it all feels like in those action movies when they are trying to get through the lasers without triggering the alarm. One bad move and the screaming threatens to start again and that’s the last thing you want, after all you’ve done to calm her down. 
You don’t even realize it but as you watch her little head reach the mattress you hold your breath, almost wincing upon seeing Harry’s hands slide out from under her sleeping frame. As if you wait for something to go wrong, both of you freeze for a moment, expecting her to start moving around and wake up, but she stays still. 
Eyes snapping up to Harry, you exchange a look and then you both head to the door, careful not to make any noise that can possibly shake Valerie up from her dreams.
“This was more tiring than running a marathon,” he huffs, throwing himself to the couch and you do the same next to him. 
“Have you ever run a marathon?”
“No,” he confidently answers and you look over at him with a puzzled look. “But I can imagine how tiring it is.”
You let out a chuckle, letting your eyes close for just a little bit. You haven’t even had the chance to realize how much this whole struggle with Val sucked the energy out of you, but now that you’re half lying on the couch it hits you all at once.
“I should get going,” you hear Harry mumble, clearly just as tired as you are, but he doesn’t move. 
“Mhm,” you hum, feeling yourself drift to sleep.
Neither of you moves and it doesn’t take a whole five minutes for the both of you to completely doze off.
The next time you wake up you feel an arm curled around your waist and someone is definitely pressed up against you while your back is against the back of the couch. It takes you a couple of moments and some blinking to realize it’s Harry you are all snuggled up to and the reason why you woke up is because Valerie is crying again. 
“Shit,” you mumble to yourself, mind still groggy from the sleep as you push yourself up on the couch. Just moments later Harry’s eyes flush open and you’re not sure it’s because of the crying or because you moved next to him. His arm slides off you as he looks around a little confused about his surroundings.
You don’t have the chance to think about how the two of you ended up cuddling on the couch, though it lingers in the back of your mind. Basically crawling over Harry you rush into your bedroom where Valerie is lying in her bed crying. It’s a different kind of cry, not like the one you were stuck with for hours before and you know she must be hungry.
“Ah, come on, little girl. It’s alright,” you coo at her scooping her into your arms. She immediately cuddles to your chest hiccupping against it, her little hands fisting your shirt. You leave to go to the kitchen and feed her, but just as you’re about to step out of the room you bump into Harry.
You bounce back from his chest, but his hand immediately reaches for you and grabs your arm, holding you in case you might fall back.
“Sorry,” you breathe out, thoughts still foggy a little. “She’s… hungry,” you explain, but he is standing so close to you, you can feel his body’s warmth and it instantly ignites the memory of being pressed against his side on the couch just moments ago and you can’t stop yourself from inhaling a shaky breath. 
“Let me help,” he croaks out and the two of you walk into the kitchen. Putting on her bib you hand her over to Harry who sits with her on his lap on a stoop as you get the baby food, warm it a little before joining the two of them and you slowly start feeding her.
“What time is it?” you ask realizing you have no idea how long you two have been asleep on the couch.
“It’s three am,” Harry answers before smiling down at Val. “Good job, Val!” he hums watching her take the spoon into her mouth.
You finish up feeding her, then give a try at burping her even though Rosa said it’s not necessary anymore. She just hums to herself so you head back to the bedroom, her eyes already threatening to close. By the time you put her back to the bed she is out again, so no private show is needed this time.
Walking out of the room you see Harry putting on his shoes and coat. For a split second you feel disappointed that he is leaving, but then your rational side puts you to your place. Of course he is leaving! Val is fine now, there’s no other reason for him to stay, right?
“Harry,” you softly say and he looks at you. “Can you please not tell Rosa and Steven that I needed help with Val?” you quietly ask, though there’s no doubt your eyes are practically begging him.
“No way I’ll ever admit to Steven that I sang ABBA to his child, so don’t worry about it,” he chuckles making you smile as well. 
“Thank you. And for helping me as well. I was really close to giving it up,” you admit folding your arms on your chest as Harry stands at the front door, hand on the door knob as he is looking back at you.
“No problem. Now you owe me one,” he smirks and you can’t hold yourself back from rolling your eyes.
“Sure,” you say with an airy chuckle. “Good night, Harry.”
“Good night, Y/N,” he smiles at you sweetly before opening the door and walking out. 
You take his place at the door and watch him walk down the eerily quiet hallway. He turns back to you one last time waving in your way and you nod back smiling before he disappears around the corner.
Closing the door you lean your back against it, taking a deep breath. Your eyes wander over to the couch where you and Harry were sleeping not so long ago. The feeling of his arm around you is still burned into your mind and you breathe in shakily as a memory snaps into your head of the exact same thing, only years earlier.
You lied almost exactly like that in his hotel room that night. His strong arms wrapped around you as you had your head laid on his chest, listening to his heartbeat that was slightly faster than the normal. Though you were still quite drunk, this feeling imprinted into your memories, because you felt so safe with him. Like nothing could ever hurt you if he was there with you.
Unfortunately, that feeling faded into nothing when you woke up in the morning quite fast. But this time, instead of disappointment and disgust, the only thing you still feel is the emptiness at the lack of his touch.

Tumblr media
so i finally decided to post again lol
i hope you like it!
everything is under the cut!
h e e s e u n g
Tumblr media
being away from home and family is never easy
and heeseung understands that
so when he walks into his bedroom and hears you talking to your parent on the phone in a language he doesn't understand
he just kind of stands in the doorway and listens since he doesn't want to interrupt anything
heart eyes
this man is so WHIPPED
and he'd listen in and hear you get really excited about something and he'd get all smiley and excited too even if he doesn't understand what you're saying :(
cause he's happy if you're happy
i feel like he'd want you to teach him something
like how to say a word that he just randomly thought of
"cupcake, how do you say 'marshmallow' in (your language)?"
overall i dont think he'd make a big deal out of it or anything
he'd be really nice and respectful
would clown you if something went wrong and you started cursing in your language tho
even if it was the smallest thing ever
omg he'd probably get the other members involved too
so they'd all be clowning you together lmao
and they just won't stop even if it's already been WEEKS
hee would also be the type to look at you and randomly say one of the few words you taught him - like literally out of nowhere
and now i feel sad haha
someone get me a heeseung pls

Tumblr media
it was his first time meeting your family
let's say your family speaks only a bit of english and no korean so it's not easy for jay and them to communicate
and you kind of have to become a translator
like you might as well change your name to google translate lol
anyway
so lik the two of you arrive at your family's house and they let you in
and they're like "honey!! it's so nice to finally meet your boyfriend!" in your native language right
and jay's there just like: I'm gonna pretend like i understood everything you just said ಡ ͜ ʖ ಡ
and then you translate
and he's like ( ꈍᴗꈍ)💅 yep that's me
and for the rest of the night you're translating what everyone is saying
then you get home and it's really late
but you had a good time and it seems like your family really likes jay
so you're happy
after a movie and a cuddle session on the couch you both get ready for bed and go to sleep
and after just laying there for 15 minutes in silence jay starts poking your side
so you're like wHAT
and he goes: can you help me learn (your language)?🥺 i wanna surprise your parents the next time I see them🥺🥺
that's it
imma just leave it at that
this boy has my heart
and if i continued any further i probably wouldn't even get to the other members lol
watch me write your whole entire life with jay just in this one post... I'm not okay
j a k e
Tumblr media
you were on a videocall with your cousin/friend/someone
just talking about how everything is going for you and how you are and stuff
and then you remember you didn't tell them about your bf
??? how
jakey is like the perfect boyfriend
how could you forget to show him off to them??
so you're like "you know I have a boyfriend right?"
and they're like "really????? didn't think anyone would actually want to deal with you :P"
but then they get excited and really wanna see who you're with
so you call jake over to meet them
and then you become the translator (again rip)
even with the language barrier they still get along really well
or if your first language is english then you don't have to be the translator i guess
no matter what they just kinda get along well
but in that second scenario the rest of jake's part doesn't apply (rip)
im sorry ://
back to jakey and the call
after the call ends jake gently places his head on your shoulder and goes:
"i think your native language is really nice"
"do you think I'd do good if I tried learning it?"
so you're like of "course you would, like dUh brO you like physics..learning a language will be like easy for u since you're so smart :D"
and he'd seriously like, STUDY it
and you're just so proud of him
also it wouldn't be him if the first phrase he learned wasn't 'i love you' or 'can i get a kiss?'
so this boy now goes 'i love you so much' in your native language every time he sees you :(

Tumblr media
your relationship with sunghoon is still pretty new
let's say you've been dating for like 2 months
and you haven't really told your family yet
and one day you're on a videocall with one of your family members
and he slept over at your place
you're sitting in the living room after you've made breakfast
and you and that family member are on a videocall
and while that's going on sunghoon wakes up in your bedroom
and he's like ???
where r u
so he quickly does a bit of a morning routine
and goes to find you
and accidentally walks into the frame of your camera
so your family member just saw a random guy just emerge from your bedroom
and they're like ? who's that behind you
so you're like ??? there's noone behind me?? and you turn around and get startled since sunghoon is just standing by the door to your bedroom
he's like:🕴️
you fall off the couch and sunghoon's like "baby, are you okay???"
and he's trying to help you up
and your family member saw that mess unfold lol
after sunghoon checks up on you and the both of you sit down your family member asks a million questions and refuses to let sunghoon go out of frame for even a second
so sunghoon sits through the rest of the call next to you on the couch while you're answering all these questions your family member is asking
and he doesn't understand anything
after the call ends he probably walks back to your bedroom and falls asleep again since the encounter with your family member completely drained him of energy
since we know this boy's an introvert
and introverts have to recharge after being social and engaging with people
also the whole entire situation probably shook with him a lil
after he wakes up again he walks into the kitchen where you are and hugs you from behind
and then he softly asks "do you think you could maybe teach me a few words in your language?👉👈"
and of course you can't say no
who could say no to sunghoon???
so you help him learn some words
and the next time you facetime your family this boi is ready to impress them with his speaking skills😌

Tumblr media
you and the other enhypen members were eating dinner together at their dorms
hee decided to make ramyeon and so the other members and you decided to help him and make some for yourselves
but sunoo was in their 'make-up room' doing his skincare routine (so you took it upon yourself to make one for him too)
after you set the noodles to cook your phone started going off
so jay and hee decided to compete and see who'd get to the phone first (since it was in the living room)
and so they ran to get it
knocking a lot of stuff over in the process
and scaring jake who went to the bathroom earlier
then jay (who was leading btw) tripped over a random bag on the floor and hee then tripped over him
when they got back to the kitchen they were a lil bruised up so you decided to take care of them first and just let the call go through
they both had some light bruises and jay somehow managed to also get a few scratches
so he was bleeding a bit
he was being extra
"pPalLi hElP jiGeUm riGht nOw okay???"
(i swear i love jay with all my heart im not trying to make him seem like he's annoying or anything)
you had to save him :')
so you got a few bandaids and patched them both up a bit
after that you went to the living room to call back to whoever was calling you in peace since everyone was busy in the kitchen
it was one of your childhood friends
you called them and they started nagging you for not picking up and scaring them
and right in that moment sunoo came out of the 'make-up room' and went into the living room where he left his bag when he got back from practice (the same bag that caused jay to trip lol)
and he heard you and your friend pretty much yelling at each other and bickering through the phone
and he got curious
so he walked up to you and was like
"who are you taking to?(✿^‿^)"
and the friend on the other line heard him and was like
"YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND??!?!"
so for the next 30 minutes or so they made you explain everything to them
and they were extra nosy
so you were taking about how you met, what your relationship is like, his friends, what he's like,
and other things
while sunoo was sitting next to you
looking up at you with so much love and adoration in his eyes even though he couldn't understand a single word you said
after you and your friend said bye and hung up he was like
"you're so amazing o((*^▽^*))o"
i don't think he'd make you teach him any words
apart from 'i love you' or 'i'm cute' or smth
he's just really happy to have someone like you no matter how many languages you speak so he's just gonna adore you for a bit and then start teasing you like he usually does ;)))
he WILL mention any time he speaks about you tho
'OH did you know my partner speaks (your native language)? ^-^'
j u n g w o n
Tumblr media
you decided you wanted to visit your family
since you've been living in korea and felt really homesick :(( (at least for the sake of this scenario lol)
and since they live outside of korea you and jungwon had to separate for a while (he couldn't go with you since he has schedules and stuff ://)
I have a feeling he's a pretty clingy baby (or he'd miss you a lot at least - maybe not clingy physically but like emotionally?? he just needs you by his side lol)
so he'd demand you call everyday
and one day you were in your old bedroom, just laying on the bed and calling jungwon
when your parent/family member came into your room to inform you that dinner is ready or smth
and they saw you were calling someone and were like
who are you calling??? (since you didn't tell them about jungwon yet they couldn't really guess it was him or anything)
and well, you just didn't mention anything about having a boyfriend at all
you're there like uhhh can I tell them?? should I tell them??
and you do
which sparks a conversation about him
while you're still calling WITH him
so for like 15 minutes you're talking to that family member while jungwon just listens
and while that's happening his thought process is like..
'how did I get so lucky'
'i like that language'
'they sound so cool'
'oh shoot they said my name???'
'what's happening?'
'what are they walking about??'
'????'
'hurry up and talk to me now'
'hey >:('
'I'm the one you're calling :('
'but take your time i guess..'
'damn i miss them a lot'
'i need hugs :('
and then you get back to him and he asks you to translate everything you said
so you do
and he's just
so
damn
whipped
for u
like even more than ever before
he might ask how to introduce yourself in your language or smth and will not ask you about anything ever again
until you find out he's been secretly learning your language
so that he can surprise you :(((
and potentially your family once he gets to meet them :((((
n i - k i
Tumblr media
let's say it's right after enhypen had a comeback right
so they have a few days off before they start working on some new projects and stuff and ni-ki somehow managed to get sick
even though you, the members, and the staff were making sure he was taking care of himself
so you're just hanging around the dorms
helping the members around the house and checking up on ni-ki from time to time
at this specific moment you were cooking dinner with jay
so you kind of just left your phone with ni-ki in their bedroom (where he's resting)
and you got a call from one of your friends or smth (maybe like your roommate??)
so ni-ki called you to let you know
and he was like: „Y/NNNNNN!!!!"
you're obviously concerned like ??? what's wrong?? is everything okay??? is ni-ki okay??? my child why are you yelling so much???
and you bolt from the kitchen to the bedroom
and when you run through the door
you stub your toe on a dresser or something
and you start cursing in your language
and ni-ki hears it all
and even though you're in pain
he can't stop laughing
cause he's kinda evil >:)
then after he stops laughing at you he's like: are you okay? ://
and you are eventually
fortunately no toes were broken that day
then he asks you what you were saying
and if you could teach him all those words
so you're like should i? should i not? and you eventually do (bad idea lol)
let's just say you got a beating from all his hyungs after he wouldn't stop cursing in your language
but it did take them a while to find out what all those words ni-ki is saying mean
so this child would probably teach them these words for fun
and would tell them that it means like 'i love you' and 'have a great day' or smth
but he would always laugh whenever they said any of them
and it was somewhat suspicious
which resulted in jungwon searching it up
and nearly then he nearly beat you with a pan later
you should feel lucky you're alive lol
hee and jay probably found it funny tho

Humble Pie AU Headcount!
Aye, here's a cool concept I saw from @paraesthetics
and @maddgicalgirl two really cool creative peeps who posted about their AUs for their paracosms, Memento Amouri and Zombie Lane! I don't have as many as them and they're not as cool as any of those but we go:
Humble Pie - OG paracosm, Beau, a former high school bully and star football athlete returns to his home town after flunking college, coming home brings back both nostalgic and bitter memories of his past, his memories haunt him so bad that they manifest into a alter ego of himself called "Stye" who makes a deal with Beau that if he can get at least half of the people he bullied to forgive him, then Stye will leave Beau forever, but if Beau fails Beau has to leave forever (either by running away, isolating himself from others even his friends and family forever so he doesn't hurt anyone else never to be seen again or ........), at the same time he finds himself falling in love with the new dorky girl in town
Bodyswap AU- this isn't really an AU more like a weird dream Beau has after eating some weird cake his little sister made for him and he was too nice to say no (it had glitter in it), the events only take place for about a day, but its basically a Kimi No Nawa (Your Name) parody just with alot of more comedy where Beau and Bonnie swap bodies, Beau spends the day in Bonnie's body as an angry gremlin woman, and Bonnie spends the day in Beau's body as a pretty boy. They both struggle with each other's usual tasks Bonnie struggles to fix cars and Beau having to wear a maid outfit, and doing anime dances on the spot while having to playfully flirt with a bunch of nerds at Bonnie's maid cafe job. Bonnie in Beau's body has more heavy moments because she can see Stye and meets him for the first time, Stye knows its not Beau in his body so he can't have as much "fun" toying with him as usual, but kind of with the "help" of Stye Bonnie is able to hop through Beau's memories (mostly his childhood ones), a lot of the memories stop halfway through or are purposely faded because how heavy they weigh on Beau's mind. Devin is the one who tries to research and help Bonnie and Beau get back to each other's bodies because while most of Beau's family welcomes Beau's brighter attitude, Dev is the only one who knows something is up.
Genderbend AU- In this AU Fem! Beau was a star cheerleader as a Regina George type of bully, telling lies, spreading rumors, and subtle causing chaos throughout the school while being seen as a beloved queen at the same time, she too flunks out of college, and returns with regrets, but as where Beau takes on a more punk cowboy aesthetic, Fem! Beau adopts a more gothic rockabilly witch aesthetic, Fem ! Beau always had an interest in witches/witchcraft since she was little (because her dad would read her a bunch of fairy tales and Fem! Beau always found the witches to be the more interesting characters in the stories) but was often made fun for it to the point where she kept it a secret, but now returning to her hometown, Fem! Beau decides to fully embrace her interest she dyes her blonde hair black and starts to study witchcraft in an effort to combat the bad vibes she's been feeling. Whereas original Stye is more of an evil Jojo Stand, Fem! Stye is more along the lines of a mix of Tomie and Junko Enoshima, she still enjoys toying with Fem! Beau and doing a noblewoman's laugh, the deal between them is still the same. Whereas Beau's bio dad left him, Fem! Beau's bio mom left her family and Fem! Beau has a really close relationship with her Dad, Lou , who works at the town's library as a libarian, he remarries a nice woman who tries to spend time with Fem! Beau by doing traditional girly activities (a thing that reminds Fem! Beau too much of her past self, but she still tries to grin and bear it), Fem! Beau works part-time at her step mom's boutique helping customers pick outfits and find the perfect outfit for them. Dev is the same tho, but Fem! Dev is a bit more into comics than games but still basically the same nerd (like Futaba from Persona 5), Fem! Beau stilll gives Fem! Dev advice on school and boys (but kind of subtlely telling Fem! Dev that most guys are pigs anyways), Carrie who is now Carter in this is a very rowdy but loveable little boy who is always seen with a cape and a wooden sword that his big sis made for him in shop class, he carries that thing with him everywhere and will fight anyone who's mean to his sisters. Like Beau, Fem! Beau loves her siblings to death and likes spending time with them
Beau has an interest in wild west media, Fem! Beau is more interested in stuff like Grease, Rebel Without A Cause, Bewitched, and West Side Story.
Male! Bonnie is mostly the same like with Dev is more into comics than anime, he has a bigger interest in clowns than mascots and wants to show kids that not all clowns are scary, he works as a children entertainer at a local fun center (like a Chuck E Cheese or Discovery Center), whereas Bonnie was taught ballet at a young age, Male! Bonnie was taught to play the piano, but he enjoys playing instruments like the keyboard, talkboxes, and one of those things that look like a musical note with a face on it (idk what they are call), he's trying to make a one-man-band performance to go along with his performance as a clown.
Whereas Bonnie and Beau meet a lot to work on Bonnie's car, Male! Bonnie and Fem! Beau met up a lot because Carter really likes to play at the fun center where Bonnie works, and when Male! Bonnie first saw Fem! Beau, he thought she was Raven from Teen Titans.
Bonnie and Beau's relationship is like Beauty and Beast, while Fem! Beau and Male! Bonnie is more like Jessica and Rodger rabbit.
Resident Evil Village AU: This one is basically Beau is Ethan, and Carrie takes the place of Rose, and that's it! To be honest, I didn't think how everyone else would fit in this AU (an older Dev might be Chris?? maybe), I just like the idea of Beau going through a ton of crazy spooky stuff to save his little sister, and would totally sacrifice himself like Ethan did at the end if all the chips were down, and older Rose is what I think an older Carrie would look like
Walking Dead (the game) AU: Same thing as RE but Beau lives through all the seasons with both of his siblings, I just dont really dig the idea of Carrie ending Beau like how Clem had to do with Lee (that's too much man), but I could see Beau trying to teach Carrie to defend herself during the apocalypse as she gets older he tries to distance himself a bit letting her be more independent but still nearby if she gets into trouble, I could also see Dev joining another group for a bit because he doesn't enjoy his brother bossing him around so much, he ends up returning but I could see tensions raising between those two in this situation, they would end up meeting Bonnie along the way, Beau would find her a bit annoying at first but end up catching feelings for her. I could see them making their own settlement, and trying to find other lost individuals.

I have been observed the dash for weeks, yet seems this virus outbreak hasn’t being warned enough around western mutuals.
If you are aware about vaccinating kids, please give a few minutes to let me explain this new health issue, what is the terrible deal of this Wuhan Pneumonia outbreak:
A visual guide to the Wuhan coronavirus
Tumblr media
- An outbreak of new coronavirus in China has sickened more than 800 people and killed at least 26, while spreading to countries around the world.
Its emergence has fueled fears of a deadly epidemic as hundreds of millions of people travel in China, or around the Asian region, during the Lunar New Year holiday.
Common symptoms include a runny nose, cough, sore throat, and possibly a headache. Those who have a weakened immune system, particularly the young and the elderly, are at risk of the virus turning into a more serious respiratory tract illness. -
Brief description: In late December, a new SARS-alike coronavirus was outbreak in Wuhan, a city of China. Then within a month it spread out, infected most of China’s regions in rapid speed, and somehow been brought OUTSIDE of China due to different migration cases. New infection cases, even death cases, confirmed everyday in China. Wuhan and several cities have been “locked” as most public transports connected to said cities are suspended, citizens are prohibited to go in and out of infected regions.
Yet lot of citizens in Wuhan have already departed themselves right before the city’s closure - some of them among already appearing symptoms of disease. This could only lead an even larger disease outbreak.
There are no sufficient medical care for those stayed in Wuhan as well. Despite of said resource provide and promises from the government, patients in Wuhan can be seen in extreme poorly-managed places.
Tumblr media
[source]
Currently confirmed Wuhan Coronavirus case: (may not be latest updated)
China - 830 cases (26 deaths)* Hong Kong - 5 cases Macau - 2 cases Taiwan - 1 case USA - 2 cases Korea - 1 case Japan - 2 cases Thailand - 4 cases
*China’s data will certainly be inaccurate as usual due to lots of, well-known political reasons. This means the real confirmed cases (both infected and death) could be much, MUCH MORE than according to the Chinese government’s “record”.
Tumblr media
- Wuhan’s 11 Million People Face Quarantine as Virus Fears Spread  (Another nice article explaining the factors and upcoming concerns for the Virus Outbreak)
For the coming days, especially the Lunar New Year, where large scales of population intersection are expected. Precaution is what matter most during a coronavirus outbreak: 
Keep washing hands as habit from now on. Clean your hands with soap and water when you arrive home from outdoors or before taking meals.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands.
Avoid entering crowned public area. Which is surely difficult to refrain from Lunar New Year, therefore if must:
Wear a face mask. Wear those can cover your nose and mouth nicely, do not take it off on public areas. (I hear that wearing masks in Western regions is a strange thing to do? But PLEASE this is for health purpose)
If you find yourself being sick (occur coughing/sneezing/fever/not feeling well in general), stay calm, wear a face mask, stay hydrated, stay indoors and advise your healthcare provider.
Tumblr media
If you have been recently traveled in Wuhan or its nearby regions such as Hubei, immediately contact your healthcare provider.
I truly hope everyone of you have a safe and healthy Lunar New Year.
PS: 🙌🏼 By sharing this you will be officially helping more on resisting Pneumonia outbreak more than the Hong Kong government 🙌🏼
PPS: 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Yes Im so fuckign salty Hong Kong government did nothing for the prevention thanks for asking 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
PPPS: Hey also please dont clown on this post I know that rat year plague meme is trending but this disease is able to kill so be mature please

Before I Put On My Makeup...
Inspired by this ask from @styxkid287 : https://blake-belladonna-defence-force.tumblr.com/post/189655046107/you-dont-wear-makeup-okay-i-am-offended
Blake does Yang’s makeup and has a minor panic during their Beacon days. Let me know if any of you want to see Yang doing Blake’s hair 😊
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
“Weiss and I are going to go study, see you girls at lunch!”
Blake smiled to herself quietly before she carefully applied her purple eyeliner. Despite first appearances, she had grown to become fond of her teammates. Her friends. It was beginning to get harder to imagine life without them.
“Scoot your boot.” Yang huffed playfully as she walked into the bathroom. “I need the mirror.”
Blake pulled the pencil from her eye so that she could scoot over.
“You and your little phrases.” She murmured as she continued with her makeup routine.
“Hush your face.” Yang laughed as she adjusted her fringe, humming quietly to herself as she made sure that her hair was in place.
Blake, however, noticed that her partner’s curious lilac eyes kept shifting to watch her with interest.
“Can I help you?” She muttered as she turned her head, checking her right eye and nodding to herself when she saw that it looked good.
“Oh! Sorry.” Yang said sheepishly. “I don’t really wear makeup. I’m pretty bad at it so I always find it interesting to watch other people do theirs.”
Blake slowly turned to face Yang with a narrowed gaze.
“You don’t wear makeup? At all?”
“Not beyond lipgloss, no.”
Blake stared at her friend for a moment before giving an indignant snort and turning back to the mirror to work on her left eye.
“Okay. I am offended.” Blake muttered. “That’s just rude.”
“What? That a girl doesn’t wear makeup?” Yang asked, frowning in confusion.
“No. That you look practically perfect without any.” Blake froze for moment as her brain caught up to her mouth. “Uh… I mean… you obviously don’t need any so…”
“Oh.” She saw Yang blush out of the corner of her eye, the usually confident brawler appearing flustered for a moment. “Thank you.”
Blake gave a noncommittal grunt and finished her makeup, nodding in satisfaction at her reflection.
“You’re really good at it.” Yang said with a tilted head.
“There’s not much to do in the White Fang in your down time.” Blake shrugged nonchalantly, despite the ache in her chest. “A friend and I used to do each other’s makeup a lot. It was the closest thing I had to a proper girls night out.” She then turned to Yang with a small smile. “Until I joined team RWBY, that is.”
Yang blinked in surprise before giving Blake a kind smile.
“I’m glad you enjoy hanging out with us.” She said softly, playfully bumping Blake’s hip. “I would suggest that we could do each other’s makeup someday but I think you’d wind up looking like clown.”
Blake laughed softly, before glancing down at her kit, an idea forming.
“I mean…” she said hesitantly. “I could still do yours? If you do something with my hair?”
Blake had come to enjoy spending time with Yang. Why not spend more?
“Really?” Yang asked with a smile, shifting to an excited grin when Blake nodded. “Yeah, totally. Go for it!”
Blake covered a giggle with her hand and pulled over a stool and directed Yang to sit down. She hesitated for a moment before speaking.
“Do you mind if I touch your face?”
“Nope. Go crazy, makeup guru.”
Blake rolled her eyes, cheeks warming, as she grabbed Yang’s chin and gently tilted her head back and forth before giving a soft, thoughtful hum.
“Stay still.” She ordered, rummaging through her kit.
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Talking is not staying still.” Blake said with a smirk as she started to apply makeup, carefully emphasising Yang’s features but never drowning them out.
“Wait.” She muttered to herself as she narrowed her eyes at Yang’s nose and cheeks. “Huh. You have freckles. Cute.” She mumbled around a makeup brush. She was definitely going to put a bit of emphasis on those.
“Oh.” Yang said in surprise. “Um. Thank you.” Yang’s cheeks flushed as Blake leaned in to examine her face and see what else she could do. She flicked her eyes up to Yang’s and the two gazed at each other for a moment before Blake pulled away, turning back to her kit with a flustered cough. What was happening to her? She never felt like this with Ilia.
“I, um.” She cleared her throat awkwardly. “I’m pretty sure that I have a new black eyeliner and mascara so we can use that.”
“Uh… you’re not going to poke my eye out, right?” Yang said, narrowing her eyes suspiciously at the makeup. “I don’t trust anything going near my eyes.”
“Do you trust me?” Blake asked playfully.
“You literally throw me at our opponents for our team attack.” Yang said dryly, eyebrow quirked and a smirk on her lips. “I’m pretty sure I do.”
Blake snorted, amused, and set to work. But as with most things involving her and Yang, chaos soon came out to play.
“Oh my Gods, stop being a baby.” Blake laughed as Yang gripped her wrists firmly yet gently and glared up at her.
“Baby?! Blake! That is my eyeball!” Yang yelped indignantly as Blake bit back a smile. “Nothing should be going near it. ESPECIALLY NOT THAT TORTURE DEVICE!”
“Oh don’t be so dramatic.” Blake huffed, ears flicking in amusement. “I use it all the time.”
“I worry about you sometimes, Blake. I really do.” Yang said with a dramatic sigh. “What kind of person puts themselves through this? It’s so much work!”
“Me.” Blake said dryly. “I like how it looks.” She added with a shrug.
“… okay. That’s fair.” Yang smiled up at her. “But do you really need to use it on me?”
“No.” Blake hummed. “I suppose not.”
Yang gave a breath of relief and let go of Blake and watched as she put the eyelash curler away.
“What next?”
“Final bit.” Blake said over shoulder as she rummaged through her kit. “Lips.”
She pulled out a pink lipstick that she had yet to use (it wasn’t her colour but it would suit Yang) and a matching lip liner.
“Open your mouth slightly.” She requested. “And don’t make this weirder than it is.”
She smirked at the eye roll she earned and gently cupped her friend’s jaw, ignoring the stutter in her heart rate. She gently lined Yang’s lips, biting her own bottom lip in concentration, before filling them in with the lipstick.
When she was done, she gently angled Yang’s head to get a better look and paused.
Yang already a beautiful woman without makeup. But with her lips emphasised and her eyes made more vibrant thanks to the eyeliner and mascara, she was even prettier.
Blake felt her mouth run dry, voice failing her as Yang smiled up at her. She was so close and so damn pretty. What was Blake doing again?
“So what’s the verdict, beauty guru?”
“I’m bi-FINE!” Blake quickly corrected herself as she jumped back, piling her makeup back into her kit. “It’s fine. Good, even. You look great!”
“You sure?” Yang asked awkwardly as she rubbed her neck, a confused frown on her face as Blake silently prayed that Yang had missed her little slip up.
“Definitely.” Blake said with a nervous grin.
“Cool, cool.” Yang coughed into her fist as she stood up and made a surprised noise in her throat. “Okay, Wow! You’re really good!”
Blake shrugged noncommittally, despite the small proud smile on her lips.
“Seriously, Blake. I might have to get you to help me out when I go out because damn.” Yang turned to with a grin.
“All I did was emphasise your features.” Blake said as she put her bag away.
“I noticed that.” Yang hummed thoughtfully. “Don’t freckles usually get covered up?”
“I guess.” Blake snorted. “But I’m not a fan of listening to what others think is pretty.”
She saw Yang’s smile grow a little at that.
“Good to know.” Yang said softly, smile even softer. “Thank you.”
“Not a big deal.” Blake rolled her eyes and scoffed.
But something had shifted in her chest. Something that existed in shades of golden hair and lilac eyes.

Ducktales Reviews: The Trickening!
Tumblr media
Halloween Havoc continues! Louie’s greed and lack of concern for his brother’s feelings or well thought out schedule leads them to a real life haunted house with vampire clowns, dummies, a scary well lady and a gelatinous cube. Because there’s’es always room for gelatinous cube. Meanwhile Della wants to use Launchpad’s dangerous misconceptions about halloween to traumatize children for funzies and Donald had a problem with that for some reason. Also Scrooge is kind of an asshole on Halloween it turns out. No one is suprised. Ghosts, goblins, and full review with spoilers under the cut. 
Happy halloween month everybody! Halloween Havoc, aka my spate of halloween reviews continues as I roll into my first actual halloween episode review of the season! Yeah weird but so far we’ve covered demons getting exorcisims, little girls thinking they can raise the dead, and a horrifying plauge guided by the human incarnation of all that is evil, but not the actual holliday itself. Weird ain’t it? Well that changes with this so as always pitter patter. 
It’s HALLOWEEN here in duckberg, and the mansion kids are planning Trick or Treating. Natural given Huey’s OCD, he has everything planned out a and naturally the kids all have unique and adorable costumes. Huey is gizmoduck, though with a GK instead of  GD, a nice nod to “New Gizmokids on the BLock’ From the original series, an episode I haven’t seen but have heard of so theres that. It’s also because he likely wants to be Fenton’s kid sidekick which.. yeah please do that show. It’d be so fucking adorable. Plus Huey needs to be happy for once without having to go through a gauntlet of misery first. Let my boy be happy. +
Anyways Dewey’s is rather disapointing as it’s a “pirate on vacation” which while hilarious and very dewey, is kind of an anti-climax after months of speculation. Webby is some kind of ancient demon king as apparently in the duckverse the origins of halloween are based on appeasing various monsters, and this is so she can hide from them effectively. And Louie.. is Huey. Which means putting on Huey’s hat and a terribly insulting impression of him. 
Tumblr media
Meanwhile Donald and Della are an angel and a devil, with, which I didn’t realize until a tumblr post, Della’s costume being the one one of the boys wore in the classic disney trick or treat short. So that’s a nice nod. Donald wants to nicely give out candy while Della wants to terrify the children. Both end up disapointed as Scrooge instead boots everyone from the house and locks the mansion gates, as he doesn’t like giving out handouts which.. yeah that tracks. 
As it turns out Scrooge also has his own plans.. which are gloriously ludicrous, sounding like something Glomgold would do: He’s going to go trick or treating himself, as when he was a boy, this was the one time of year a poor lad like him could get treats and he worked his tail off to do so and wants to prove he’s still got it. And as we see later SOMEHOW he still gets candy. It’s like if THIS was actually sucessful. 
Tumblr media
I would genuinely not be suprised if Scrooge too hadn’t tried to get an oil well from an elementary school this way. As for leaving candy out he leaves out an empty take one bowl which is as clever as it is douchey. So in other words Scrooge in a nutshell. So with handing out treats and scares at the house a non-option, Della and Donald go to see what Launchpad’s doing since Beakly.. is.. I have no fucking idea. NO I really don’t, she shows up for the ending, but before that? If they mentioned where she was I clearly missed it because she’s just.. missing for most of the episode and given every other member of the main cast is accounted for this episode, it’s VERY noticable. Give her more to do dangit!
So yeah we get our two plots, which i’ll cover seperately, then cover the ending where they dovetail together. Kay? Kay. 
The Kid’s Plot centers around Huey and Louie.. specifically Louie wanting to go to a real life haunted house while Huey, as mentinoed has heavily established plans for their night. As for why Louie would go into danger, well as usual for when he does that theirs something in it for him: Rumor has it no kid has ever made it out with their candy.. thus leaving decades worth of candy just waiting to be nabbed and thus never having to trick or treat again. One big score for a payoff.. which didn’t make a lot of sense on first thought and my best guest is whatever preservative Gyro used for Oxy Chew, since it was still edible decades later, was probably spread to other candies since there’s no way in hell Scrooge would pass up a zillion dollar invention like that. Either way works.  Huey is outvoted as Dewey naturally wants the excitment and Webby wants to see if her demon costume works on actual demons. However things quicklky go wrong as they ecoounter a dewey dummy and a killer dummy, as well as a monster clown and a gelatonous cube, which yes. I may not play DnD but I love these things. 
The kids escape the house by accident while tryign to escape and Louie, still being a dick about things, finds out Huey DID know abotu the stash btu avoided it and Louie lays into Huey.. a bit much honestly, feeling he was agaisnt it purely because it wasn’t on schedule.. when you know, Louie could’ve asked to put it on schedule or actually given a damn about this, especially since Huey’s planned their trick or treats EVERY YEAR, so he’s had a full year to ask for this insane idea, or even the short time he’s known about it if shorter. Sure huey might of sputtered a bit, but Louie knows his other siblings, Webby and Dewey could convince him to loosen up and include the house. Louie’s just being kind fo a selfish dick here.. however i’ts not so overwhelming as to overpower the episode, as he has been before and while he should know better about risking his family’s lives after “Timephoon!” it is in character for him to protiize a big score like this over other people’s feelings and it’s not even the first time this season he’s done that. So fair enough. 
But we soon get the second best reveal of the episode: As the kids are backed into a corner by monsters.. they grumble theres no candy and it turns out the monsters.. ARE REAL.. but their traditional monsters like frankenstein, dracula, and the bride of frankenstein, just dressed up like this to scare kids. As it turns out the WHOLE THING is an elaborate yearly scooby doo hoax to get kids candy, with the brilliant twist it’s done by actual monsters> As the vampire points out they can’t exactly shop during the day.. or he can’t at least, so this is how they get candy for the year.. at tribute if you will. Also the Gelationous Cube gets a nice hat as you see above. It’s a REALLY clever twist and I absolutely love it. I DID NOT see it coming and even with some spoiler screenshots I thankfully did not have it spoiled for me. REALLY good stuff. 
As for why Huey’s been so obessed with his planning.. it’s actually really clever and really good character stuff: Huey simply got really into it because back when they were with donald this WAS their adventure for the year: the one time he let them cut loose and have fun, and he got a real kick out of it.. and Louie getting candy for life kind of destroys that. And that’s why Louie still works here.. because he instnatly realizes from this that was the problem and apologizes in his own way. It’s a nice bit of character from both: We’ve rarely had their pre-mansion lives factor in and it’s nice to see it for a change, and it’s nice to see Louie isn’t all dick, just like 20% dick. Unforutnately having no candy dosen’t appease the monsters who are pissed and descend on the kids.. until.. well for the until we have to back up a bit.  So onto the adult plot we go! Della and Donald go to Launchpad whose dressed in a jason mask and ash williams/jason coveralls, weilding a power sander and having barricaded his place. After he scares some children, a bit too much, and Della and Donald are reallyd amn confused, he explains.. and we get the best reveal of the episode.. which given the above is saying something but it’s clear like the “blath” gag in “Astro BOYD” and the non-anthro ducks gag last week, this is one of those things Frank has been keeping under his hat all series.  So as a boy Launchpad crashed his tryke into the mansion, ran into the monsters after reading off a candy wrapper.. and now assumes he unleashed a horde of monsters onto the world every halloween.. and tha’ts what he assumes the trick or treaters are. I just .. dont’ have a lto of words. This is pure comedy gold and easily the best gag of the episode and oen fo the best of the series. It’s clever, fresh, and really fits the character. Naturally Della wants to exploit this to terrify children ebcause she has underlying issues to adress while Donald tries to stop her. Thankfully before Della can get launchpad to scar children for life, Scrooge shows up and fights launchpad.. it’s part of why I also find scrooge’s dickery acceptable as launchpad beats the shit out of him.. it’s still an even fight, as not to suspend disbelief, but Scrooge still looses. I mean he gets out of being trapped in his candy bag easily because scrooge btu still, props to launchpad. So Launchpad decides to go face his fears and Donald and Della decide to stop him before he doesd a muder on a child.  Which leads to an AMAZING climax as Launchpad scooby doo chases the scared monsters around as they have no idea what the fuck’s going on and hte monsters end up really enjoying his scar eof htem and bowing to the master. It’s a good way to end it. After Della explains what’s going on, Louie and Huey decide to explain halloween to Launchpad by taking him to the once house he hasn’t been: the Manor. Scrogoe has finally opened it up, with a line of kids no less, the monsters bond with some kids in line. As for why.. as Webby sadly figures out Scrooge is charging admission, thakns to dewey who thought an all night candy store was a good idea which.. yeah it is. So everyone gets a happye ending and the monsters hang a photo of hte night up in the mansion. A really sweet ending, pun uintended but eh it’s welcome. 
Final Thoughts.  Easily one fo the series best. While the characters are a bit exagerated in places, i.e. della, launchpad , scrooge and louie, it works for the plot well enough and the jokes well enough to make it okay. My only real complaint is a lack of even a cameo from Lena and Violet, as it feels weird to not even have htem in the ending, much less trick or treating with their friends. It just feels odd and could’ve used a throaway line. I get WHY not , as Lena even pre-blue would’ve destoryed the tension with the monsters, but it still feeels really weird to not have them. But it’s a minor quibble in an otherwise REALLY funny and creative episode and a fun halloween treat to revist every year from now on. Really good work.  That does it for this week. For more halloween treats, follow this blog throughout october. So far i’ve done reviews of Demonicsim from Star Vs The Forces of Evil for Tomtober, Croaked, the Casagrandes day of the dead Special and the first of Marvel’s mini-series adapting Stephen’ King’s epic novel The Stand. And until next monday, or sooner if you decide to check any of that out, happy halloween!

would you be interested in writing some more healthy sibling-bonding? something with nyo germany and nyo prussia or maybe nyo netherlands and nyo belgium?? I would really like that :) ((btw i dont know if its the kind of 'rat aesthetic' u meant, but i really enjoy paperdrawsshit's nyo prussia, maybe u do too?))
yes!! here is a drabble about nyo!germany moving into a new apartment. I definitely love benelux and will come back to them, so I’ll tag you when I post that. besides I owe everyone something nice after making the sibling/family dynamics in Both Sides Now so horrendously dysfunctional lol.
(and I love paper’s nyo!Prussia!!! we need accurate Prussia rep)
anyways I really hope you like this one :)
“Ow— shit, shove me a little harder, will you?”
Monika huffs, setting her side of the couch down. “Fine. We’ll stop here, then.”
“Thank god,” Julchen sighs. “I told you it looks better like this anyway.”
The couch in question is skewed horrendously in the middle of the living room, sitting at an awkward angle that somehow doesn’t match up with anything else, and Monika finds herself pressing a hand to her forehead so hard it might just punch through.
Julchen just laughs, raucous and loud. “Look, asymmetry is pretty slick-looking. It’s in. Get with the times, Monika.”
“Just because your friend is an architect—”
“Yeah, okay. Interior design is different and all that. Listen, it looks nice, can we be done now?”
Monika sighs, running her hand through her bangs, over the back of her head. It’s getting kind of long, she thinks. Need to get it cut. I don’t think I’d ever hear the end of it from Julchen if it grew into a mullet, which is a terrifying thought in and of itself.
“Sure,” she says, clearing her throat and straightening up. “I’ll see you off?”
Julchen recoils dramatically. “What are you on? No, we’re celebrating. I know a good place for doner and drinks a couple blocks out. Get your coat.”
Celebrating?
“Having an apartment all to yourself,” Julchen drawls, “in fuckin’ Berlin. Finishing moving in, unpacking, being a girl boss or whatever. That’s what we’re celebrating.”
“Ah,” Monika says, sighing. “Fine. Give me a moment.”
By the time she’s thrown on a light jacket and slipped on her usual scuffed-up boots, Julchen is already holding the door open, grinning wildly with some grandiose flourish of her arms as if to shout this way! Her hair is down and loose around the nape of her neck.
“Alright, alright,” Monika grumbles. “Let’s go.”
The place is indeed only a couple blocks away. It’s a cramped food cart with a couple of wobbly plastic tables and chairs set out in front, a couple of straggling customers waiting around in the front. Julchen barks out an order for Monika to sit down right now, I’m paying, so she takes a seat and watches her sister carry a very animated conversation with the man in the truck.
When’s the next time we’ll be able to be like this? Monika thinks. Are we going to see each other still?
I’ll kind of miss her. I don’t want to stay in our old place, but I’ll miss it. Even all the books and papers and knick-knacks and… 
Well, maybe I won’t miss those...
“Wow, what’s on your mind?” Julchen snorts, sliding into the seat across from her with a couple beers in hand. “You look like you just got dumped.”
Monika rolls her eyes. “Nothing. What’d you get?”
“Pilsners,” Julchen replies, handing her a bottle, “and two doner sandwiches, the works, extra hot sauce. Like always.”
Monika cracks her bottle open against the side of the table and takes a swig. “Alright. Thank you.”
Julchen snorts. “Thank me later, after you’ve tried it.”
“Come on. I should be thanking you for a lot of things,” Monika retorts.
“Oh, really. Like what.”
Monika squints at her sister, shaking her bangs out of her eyes, beer in hand and shoulders feeling stiff. Is she joking? It doesn’t seem like it, not really— Julchen just sips her beer, casually staring off to the side, nonchalant in the way she usually is when she doesn’t feel like clowning around.
“I just mean— you’re the one who helped me find the apartment in the first place,” Monika finally mutters.
Julchen huffs and plunks her bottle down on the table with a ring-studded hand. “And you’re the one who chose it and paid for it. Can’t always blame it on me, give yourself some credit.”
“You helped me with university and job-hunting.”
“You studied your ass off,” Julchen retorts.
Monika finds herself leaning forward, frown intensifying. “You taught me how to study.”
Julchen rolls her eyes. “This is ridiculous. Today is a day for us to be celebrating, Monika, not sucking Julchen’s dick.”
“Well, it’s true,” Monika says, defensiveness creeping into her voice, dismay creeping into her heartbeat. “Julia Maria, you literally raised me. You’re just as responsible for my successes as I am. You of all people should know that.”
Julchen passes through a moment where it looks like she’s about to laugh, a moment that melts off almost immediately, as if she set herself up for a funny joke that never came— and she blinks back at Monika with something open, stunned, raw, silent.
“You know what,” she finally says.
“What?” Monika says.
Julchen snorts, staring down at her lap. “Shit, I’m gonna miss you a lot. You better visit me.”
“Of course,” Monika blurts, swallowing down a sudden lump in her throat, swallowing down every emotion that jumps to the surface. “You’re just ten minutes away on the U-Bahn, why wouldn’t I visit?”
“Julchen!” the man in the truck calls. “Two for Julchen!”
Julchen grins good-naturedly, as if to say thank god, let’s move on, and she’s out and back in no time with two heaping doner sandwiches.
The works, extra hot sauce, as always. Two Pilsners.
“Really though,” Monika says. “Thank you.”
Julchen smiles. Shrugs. “Fine. Prost!”
“Prost.”
They clink their bottles together, and Monika finds herself smiling into her beer, the cool condensation against her fingers making a wonderful contrast to the humid warmth in the air. She has a new apartment to get back to, and a new couch to arrange properly. She has a plate of food to eat.
Mostly, she has a sister to spend time with. That’s really all there is to it.

How have all of the clowns been? :3
also going to tag @post-itpenny cause they asked me the same question after you did uwu
alrighty lets get started lets start off with
Pierre: not so good, he is still unable to talk and no one is sure what he is up too uwu still under Dovevs hold
Honey: gotten real good at shapeshifting and wants to work on her illusions next. Shes been getting into some gaming with her sister and her food blog is very active. Shes been getting lots of comments from people who went to visit the places she did for the food she posted and its been giving those places more business too. uwu
Brie: Has been super into her animal crossing game. She loves to dress up and talk to all her villagers every single day. she feels bad if shes gone too long cause they notice. Her favorite is Stitches the bear hes so cute and cuddly, Honey even was able to find a plushie of him for her so she has that now uwu Shes also been feeling better in doing things for herself so shes learning and growing
Amaranthus: amazeballs. Shes a big sister now, WHAT! amazing. Plus shes got a new friend that she hasnt told anyone about but will most likely tell Ula and Atlas about cause hes so cool and tall. and Tove is growing thats exciting, he got little wings now! Plus Henry is able to visit more which is so good uwu
Billy: discussed business with his aunt. Has two wonderful children and a wonderful wife uwu He feels blessed and is so happy. He will always say it whenever anyone asks he never imagined his life would end up this way but hes so happy it did. He has been trying to get Maggie to get out more though she needs a break every once in a while. But he also understands she is feeling very protective.
Lennie: Gods hes...just so amazing. (- uwu-) He will say he is the luckiest clown to ever live. Hes got an amazing wife, and three amazing kids, amazing family and just ....life is good. Lennie is happy uwu
Henry: Hes going through the processes but hes met a man named Eugene who wants to adopt him. He seems very nice and friendly, definitely dad material. So good things are coming his way uwu
Tilde: Lives comfortably in her log cabin in the woods surrounded by wild flowers. Shes thinking of putting in a vegetable garden. Thinks itd be a nice idea, and growing herbs in the kitchen. uwu She still wants to run a zoo too shes been discussing it with Billy. He still is a bit weary around her and she doesnt blame him. She is patient uvu
Cecilio: Hes found himself a friend in Velvet and hes so happy. He loves making friends. Hes hoping they can spend some more time together, perhaps she could come to his house/car to visit x3 which sounds so odd but they are clowns so itll make sense. They could make some more traditional italian dishes together uwu
Calliope:  (- uwu-)~<3 She rather enjoys living at Cuckoos circus, its a vast change from her usual which is dark foreboding castles. Plus shes got her two babies who bring a lot of excitement and change too which is always good.  But her life is bliss, she feels safe and happy and knows that if Orfeo comes around that Cuckoo will NOT hesitate to smack a bitch own and neither will Zeta x3
Belinda: her family just keeps growing and she doesnt mind one bit uwu Pepper is such a good dad and always so considerate. She gives him lots of hugs and kisses, and cuddles. and even Benjamin seeing little Greta wants to help with the baby and hes still not done being baby himself. they grow up too fast shed say with tears in her eyes. Jeff and Bubbles she loves those two so much. I imagine she has a stash no one knows about that she will occassionally take form just the give the two of them something sweet to eat. shes aware everyone stashes sweets in the house but it feels nice giving sweets to people too uwu
Alex:  This guy had to deal with his dad recently. But hes in a much better mood and less tired. Fanny is happy that hes back and basically his old self again. Not really anything new with Alex. Except for the fact a certain very tall hatted being wants to speak with them. They havent spoken in a very long time.
I didint write for the little little ones for this ask cause wasnt sure if you wanted more updates for them as well cause I dont think too much has changed for them, But if you do I can always edit and add it in uwu

This is not Stozier related, I know but what're you thoughts on Kaspbrough?
hmmmmm i feel like in fics its always presented as like eddie & bill were each others’ firsts..... i feel like in the circles i run in (wow i sound so pretentious this is literally the gay clown movie fandom like shut up cece) theres especially an emphasis on like how eddie used to/does (depending on headcanon/fic timeline) have a hardcore crush on bill (but i mean...... everyone has a hardcore crush on bill....... including me lol). like i think when i first encountered this idea i was a very firm reddie/stenbrough shipper and this kinda weirded me out but i’ve never really gone back and decided that i’d like to read it??? when i think about it as the flipside of stozier and as sort of the one that people point to as an obvious first relationship/crush for bill & eddie i think of it as very soft and calm and friendly and in that way im like i feel like its sort of a given, they click, they’re both quieter and softer around each other and its definitely not as chaotic. tbh that might be bc i think of it as a sorta antithesis to stozier bc it seems like in fics usually if richie/stan get together then it seems like bill/eddie must lol. or theres like a bill/eddie/mike triangle in a lot of fics. anywho i feel like thats very biased toward stozier and sorta writing bill and eddie off as the boring soft ones which really isnt tru like theyre both very bold and intense and have a lot of heart in their own ways but ive honestly never read a kaspbrough fic so maybe im not authorized to comment. also like i made a post ab this the other day but bill & eddie are the 2 losers i personally feel like remind me most of myself (or maybe the ones i just wish i were lol???) probably so like, that’s also a reason for me to write them off as not very edgy or not very cool or boring etc lol. but honestly yeah they feel wholesome and i think they like, do the right thing and theyre noble and honorable and theyre very family oriented and caring and firm and bold in loving each other and others actually. now im thinking of myself dating myself and all the reddie & stenbrough fics ive read and im like man kaspbrough must be like so much nervousness to actually admit it but then once they do its so much comfort. (or possibly no admission. maybe its just there and unacknowledged and i’d follow you to the ends of the earth and then its just there and yeah, ofc we’re dating , duh). also while writing this i thought of why dont we have band bill and manager eddie fics??? do thos e exist??? lets write them lol... im sure theres a lot of sports fics where eddie is track and bill is something else......  now thats reminding me of my own headcanons about a stenbrough rowing scenario omg ask me ab that and i’ll physically die.
but anyways after i read a bunch of stozier i actually became quite interested in bichie but havent had time to go read it or check it out. referring to my other post ab big personalities at first i thought bichie would be like the two big personalities encountering each other which would be a fun dynamic but the more i thought the more i was like are they really the two big personalities??? maybe yes maybe no and who would be the more dominant personality in that relationship now THATS a question for SURE. anyway i know nothing ab bichie either but im much more intrigued by that than kaspbrough. probably bc frat bros richie and bill (but like ESPECIALLY FRAT BRO BILL OK YOU REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND) have big soft spot in my heart and the two of them.... falling in love..... together in a frat...... i would pay money to see that fic done right.
also im sorry i literally write essay s in response to ur qs im just idk im one of those ppl who is pretty uncertain and wants more info a lot of the time b4 i commit to an opinion and i feel like i am always flipflopping between ships im interested in within this fandom so i always have to say oh wait i dont want to make any hard and fast judgements but i still want to give all of my half formed opinions lol. oh ps while thinking ab these im pretty much also always referring to one of my fave posts which is the “it ships written aesthetics” post which i for some reason can’t find rn. its a great post and i feel like i saw that when i first joined the fandom and now like even tho i dont agree with it all i do reference and think ab it a lot LOL
ok essay done

Idk why but I have been here since late 2018 and dont seem to have any friends! Like how did you get to know people and you know.....
ahhhh hi anon! I don’t feel like I’ve got that many friends but here are some tips that have definitely helped me personally (because I know this would’ve been so useful to me when I first joined), and maybe they’ll help you too? sorry for writing so much but I hope this helped! you’re welcome to message me anytime, let’s be friends! 💕
1. be more open (or as open as you’re comfortable being!)
when I first joined tumblr, I was super intimidated by everything and everyone; to the point where I didn’t want people to know what my name (and anything else about me) was, I was just kind of lurking in the background; kind of too scared to make my own text post or send an ask that wasn’t anonymous and so on. but I think one of the best things you can do on here is be open (but only if you’re comfortable)! that can be little things, like putting things in your bio about yourself (like your name, age, pronouns, personality type etc), as well as making text posts about your life (like your current random thoughts, feelings, how your day went, highlights of the day, any issues you’d been going through, people you’d met, just anything - treat your text posts like your journal [just don’t be too personal in like revealing your school or workplace kldfjakjflkj] and just feel comfortable opening up about yourself and who you are, and I guess that way, people will be drawn to you and your personality! it might take a while, but tumblr is honestly the place to just go all out and there’s nothing to be worried about! just be yourself (and you’ll find ~your people~ lsdkfjldfjk)!!
2. interact!
if you want to get to know people or become friends with them, do it!! back when I actually had the time to do so, I used to send asks to blogs I loved all the time (like I’d wish them a lovely day or send them my wishes if they’d specifically made a post about something in particular, or like I’d send them asks from an ask game post that they’d reblogged)
you can also join networks, that’s one of the best ways to get to know people, in my opinion! I’m part of @tssnut, @networkthirteen and @theswiftweb, and you should usually be able to join these networks and servers (there should usually be a ‘join us!’ link on their page) and that way, you’ll be opened up to a whole lot of likeminded people! networks and servers are one of the best ways to actually talk and get to know one another, so I’d definitely think about joining them!
likewise, you could also invite people to interact with you (sounds weird lkdjldj). like you could reblog ask games (while also sending an ask to the blog you reblogged the post from), and just ask open ended questions in your own text posts? you could also just talk to the blogs around you in general (especially if you’re mutuals with them). interact with your mutuals! I find it sooo hard to go from being mutuals to friends, but I guess it’s just through interaction with one another!
3. don’t overestimate/underestimate yourself
don’t know how else to word this ldkj, but when I first joined tumblr (I actually just recently learnt to grow out of this), I used to be intimidated by like, every single blog on here. I just felt so isolated and like I hardly had any followers (confession; it took me like a year to reach 100 followers), and also like everyone had already formed their own social groups, and like!! I just felt like everyone was soooo cool and interesting and smart (with yes, lots of followers) and that I could never “get on their level” enough for them to want to be friends with me. but I guess I’ve recently realised that we’re all the same, if we’re on tumblr, we’re most likely just a dorkish clown ranting about the world around us. and I’ve learned that most everyone on here is sooo insanely kind and nice and sweet and lovely, so don’t be scared to interact (as in, sending asks, leaving comments, etc) likewise, I don’t know if this would apply to anyone dlkjdl, but it doesn’t help to think of yourself as superior or better than anyone else (like if someone reaches out to you, reply!!), we’re all on the same level and this is literally just tumblr, a welcoming and fun place for everyone!
4. have a specific… niche
I don’t know if that’s the right word, and I know a handful of multifandom blogs who do their multifandom things amazingly, but I think it’s a good idea to have a central niche/aesthetic/thing that you post about! (like I mean, you could join tumblr and be a taylor swift blog then slowly become a lana del rey blog, I don’t know) but I think it’s good to have like a central theme that you post about; this way you’ll draw likeminded people who you can talk to, and I guess it’ll just be easier to control…? like I have a lorde blog specifically for lorde, but this blog I have here is primarily taylor swift; and like all of my mutuals are swifties and blog about her, and so I guess I’m a part of the taylor swift fandom…? so I don’t know if this works for everyone, but it definitely helped me to mainly post taylor swift content (well of course, I only stan taylor dslkjdlj) likewise, you could maybe have sideblogs for other fandoms that you’d love to be a part of! I don’t know, I just guess it’s harder to be part of a fandom if you’re multifandom?
in addition, you totally don’t have to; but you could also have your own content! as in, like I make and post my own edits (I think that really helped me feel more included into the community; I posted my first edit in june last year and that’s when I slowly begun to feel more welcome?!). but you could also offer and host specific things on your blog that other blogs don’t have, like I know some people host discourse nights, positivity nights, and so on! if you’re comfortable, it just really helps I think, to bring something into the community and just create and manage and design something! :)
5. have a nice theme!
okay, this isn’t essential, but it definitely really helps to have a really nice theme! this includes a nice header (or lack of one; the simplicity can be really cool too), colour palette (FLKDJ WHEN I SEE BLOGS THAT HAVE VERY CONTRASTING COLOURS like green and purpleee), a nice url (at least one that reflects what your blog is about), a nice bio (like it doesn’t have to be long, like most people who take the time to look at your blog won’t read through a whole paragraph in your bio I don’t think?) and nice posts (like some people post like according to a specific theme/colour scheme and I think that’s really pretty but hard to stick to) you could also have a nice desktop theme, like there are soooo many theme blogs on here with beautiful themes that you can download to really spark up your page! again, this isn’t all that necessary, but it really does help to have a visually pleasing blog!
6. be nice!!!
this probably goes without saying, but just be nice and kind and positive; you don’t know how much it could mean to someone!! just be nice in whatever you do and post and say, that’s the most important thing you could do!! I can’t emphasise on this enough, but please just be niceeeeee.
andddd that’s all I could think of for now! but yes, I totally understand and relate to that feeling of being isolated or separate from the rest of the community (I felt so lost and distant from everyone in the first year that I was on here), but through taking the time to being nice, open and interacting with others (like seriously, you can message me right now!), you’ll hopefully feel more welcome into the community! love you!! 💖
