Once we were in a moving vehicle the clouds sat still. I don't mean to imply anything like sadness. A turn of the page was payback for the runaway marigolds. That is, what you see on paper are mere pop-ups compared to live things — a desire to move on after a moment of regret. It's possible the plates shifted underfoot. That's why we were flung across the room.
—Kostas Anagnopoulos, from Moving Blanket (Ugly Ducking Presse, 2010)

Landscapes of Fire and Music, by G.L. Ford (Ugly Duckling Presse, 2004)
Olympia Motel
The bitter green calligraphy of weeds in the gravel lot and crows circling and bluebottles and the limping aria of sun on a dusty window
rotten boards smell like spoiled sunlight pressed through gauze curtains yellowed by sunlight and dust
grab a fistful of cobwebs from the bushes and etch sgraffito birds all over the boarded windows
the four-poster has ivy winding over its belly the wineglasses are caked with silence
at night the tarpaper roof swallows stars

Could you write itadori with reader, who is very insecure about their body
Omg yes!! My first ask, I'm so hyped.
Yuji and a Reader who is insecure about their body
Tumblr media
~You have doubts. Yuji doesn't~
CW: Reader is insecure about their body.
Word Count: 664
Yuji is aged up in this, somewhere in his 20s.
Reqs are OPEN! Send me an ask with your ideas. You can see what fandoms I write pinned on my page.
Buy me a coffee?
.-.-.
Bodies were strange. They came in so many different shapes and sizes, endless shades of skin and hair and eyes, creating something so unique that no person looked quite the same. Sometimes… sometimes these traits combined perfectly, creating perfect people.
“Babe?”
From your place in front of the mirror, you jumped, squeaking. Whirling around, you saw Yuji, standing outlined in the doorway.
“Hey, Yuji,” you said, mustering up a smile. You took a step back from the mirror, hoping he wouldn’t notice.
Speaking of perfect people, you thought, eyeing Yuji up and down, your boyfriend was one of the best. Born with a genetic jackpot, Yuji was the most handsome man you had ever laid eyes on. While he was thinner and gangly in his teen years, at least from the pictures he had shown you, his twenties had done him well, filling him out until he was perfectly proportoined. His cheekbones were sharp, face model-worthy, and when he smiled he caught the attention of everyone in the room. There was no other way to describe it; Yuji was stunning, and you… well, you weren’t.
Yuji drew closer, taking in the drawn curtains, the dimmed lights. The mirror. “What’s up?” he asked, eyes tracking over your body.
You grimaced. While you adored Yuji, there was always another emotion hidden deep underneath your love. Something was waiting for the other shoe to drop, because for as long as you had been with him you couldn’t figure out why he’d give the time of day to someone like you. Compared to Yuji, you were subpar.
“I was just-” you tried to come up with an explanation, something that would dull the curious look in his eyes, but your mind fell flat. “I was looking,” you finished lamely.
Yuji only hummed, wrapping his arms around your waist and leaning in to kiss your temple. You slowly turned around til your back was pressed against him and you were facing the mirror again. Yuji hooked his chin over your shoulder, watching both your figures in the mirror.
You were watching too.
With the both of you reflected in the mirror, your previous thoughts were only brought to light. Yuji was beautiful, and next to him you were like the ugly duckling. You folded your arms across your chest, if only to hide a little more of yourself. Maybe Yuji wouldn’t notice.
Right when you were ready to squirm out from his hold, Yuji spoke up.
“Ya know,” he mused. “I think we make a pretty cute couple.”
It took your brain a moment to catch up, but when it did, you blinked. “Really?” you asked, craning your head up to try to catch his eye.
Yuji nodded. “Of course! I mean, you’re definitely better than me when it comes to the looks department, but I think I’m pretty close.”
“Oh.” To your horror, you felt your throat tighten, and tears started to well in your eyes. Before they could fall, you turned and buried your face in Yuji’s chest, but it was too late. Yuji had seen your eyes well up in the mirror.
“Babe?” Yuji sounded panicked. “What’s wrong?”
Sniffling, you nuzzled deeper into his chest. “You really think I’m pretty?”
“Oh, baby,” Yuji said. “Of course I do. I think you’re perfect.”
Your throat caught on a sob, and Yuji shushed you gently. He started to run his hands down your back, over your hips, up your arms. He whispered sweet nothings in your ears, while in-between he pressed kisses on top of your head and brow. He cradled you in his arms, guiding you towards the bed where the two of you layed down together, your head on his chest. He ran a hand carefully up and down your spine, still talking all the while.
You held on to him tightly, fisting your hands into his shirt. “Thank you, Yuji,” you whispered. It was too quiet for anyone but the two of you to hear.

𝐌𝐘 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐅𝐄𝐂𝐓 𝐆𝐈𝐑𝐋.

→ kunigami worshipping you like the loving boyfriend he is.
🎧 𝐊𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐀𝐌𝐈 𝐗 𝐅𝐄𝐌!𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐑
♟️ 𝐒𝐌𝐔𝐓 / 𝐅𝐋𝐔𝐅𝐅
𝐜𝐰 — brief angst. reader is insecure. size kink. creampie. praise. some dacryphillia.
a/n » it’s been a while since i wrote something here. this fic got a bit personal then i expected so apologies. anyways, kunigami is lowkey becoming one of my favs so i had to write something for him. i’ll slowly get back to writing since life has been hectic lately. thank you for reading and enjoy. 🤍
Tumblr media
Perfection is subjective, but Kunigami knew his own definition. It laid right below him, moaning and gripping his biceps as he pumped away. Syrupy eyes and swollen lips only turning him on even more, the sight of your fucked out face pushing him closer to the edge.
Only an hour ago, you felt that familiar pit in your stomach as your train of thought rammed into you like a bully. Your fingers feeling your skin, the urge to tear it off made your eyes water. A mess, the ugly duckling amongst swans that stood out like a sore thumb. It weighed on you, to the point where it felt like suffocating. Then your mind switched, the face in your head only worsened the feeling. Kunigami.
Your loving boyfriend, the man you’d easily call your soulmate in a heartbeat. To you, it’s a mystery to how you managed to even catch his attention. He was perfection in your eyes, from a body that looked like it was sculpted to artistry to a heart of gold that’s tougher then any opponent on the field. Kunigami was everything a gentleman should be. Gentle, kind, patient, you could go on ‘till your face turned blue. But even with all that, the question would still linger in your head. Why me?
It was come to a boiling point, alone in your own thoughts while he was at practice. Staring back at you in the bathroom mirror was a mockery of who many believed you were. Your eyes traced every imperfection that stained your face, down to the very body you live in. Hatred. That’s all you could feel. Hatred for how you look, who you were, the skin you walk in. it was unbearable, stuck in the void of verbal torture until—
“You okay, angel..?”
Snapped out of your thoughts by a gentle voice, turning to feel the relief of seeing his face. You couldn’t remember what happened next, all you could muster up is Kunigami picking you up bridal style and peppering kisses from your neck to your chest. You didn’t expect him to be balls deep inside of you, stripped of all clothing, leaving you bare for him to see.
Lost in his eyes, watching them trail up and down at your figure. Nothing but love and adoration filled his gaze, while your eyes screwed shut from the intense pleasure that filled your stomach. His pace was slow, but the tip of his cock kissed your cervix and stretched you out till you felt too full. Kunigami was always gentle with you in bed, but tonight felt so different. It felt like your first with him, slow yet hitting all the right spots. He leaned forward, pressing a kiss against your forehead. Butterflies fluttered around your stomach, especially once you felt his soft fingers curl around your face, making you look at him.
“You’re so perfect, angel..so fucking perfect..”
You almost had to prevent tears from spilling out. The sincerity and gentleness of his voice filling your ears, causing a smile to finally crack. Below your smaller figure, was your large—almost teddy bear—boyfriend, treating you as if you were made of glass. You were so lost in the mix of joy and pleasure, you almost forgot about your orgasm. Kunigami spread your legs slightly farther, fucking you deeper before you felt his hips stutter.
“K-Kunigami..”
“I know angel, i know..”
He whispered in your ear, his voice trailing off in a wisp of moans and heavy breathing. His large hands rested on your thighs, keeping your legs apart while he inches closer and closer to the edge. The sound of skin slapping against one another filled the room till it was almost unbearable. You bit down on your pillow, muffling your cries. Kunigami leaned forward, tracing the back of his index finger against your cheek. Your eyes opened a bit to see his smile, leaning closer for a kiss.
“I love you so much y/n, fuck—you’re everything i could ask for..”
Finally reaching his climax, Kunigami pressed his body against yours while cumming deep into your cunt. You clawed at his back as you clenched down from the sudden warmth, your orgasm coming shortly after. He hissed through his teeth as you soaked his cock with your arousal. You instinctively wrapped your legs around his waist, refusing to pull away. He couldn’t protest however, as his eyes remained glued onto your face. Cupping your cheeks in his palms, Kunigami pressed one last kiss on your pouty lips before watching your eyes grow heavy from the exhaustion.
You couldn’t be any more happier. That gut wrenching feeling that was eating away at you melted away, now replaced with a comforting warmth that embraced you just as tightly as he was. You’d wish this would last forever, and so does he.
Then again, why can’t it?

Book Lover P
I love how we all came as a community and agreed that Pinocchio is a bookworm. As a fellow bookworm, this worms my heart!
It was Lady Antonia who really introduced P to the library. Well more like she said the entire hotel was his to explore, and explore he did.
His desire for reading really came from a desire to be like his father. Get his approval. The big thumbs up from Papi.
He prefers to read at night, everyone is asleep and he has nothing else to do with this time. At first, he would just go out and continue to destroy puppets, but something changed after that first book.
The first book happened to be The Ugly Duckling. He would read and reread that story. Not fully understanding why he kept doing so.
It was in this state you found him. You promised yourself a night of reading as a reward for doing boring tasks around the hotel. Lo, and behold there was Pinocchio… reading.
He immediately gets up, thinking you had a task for him. Poor boy. You inquire into what he’s reading and he hands it over, as if guilty.
Reading the cover, you smile and give it back, along with another book. It’s a book of fairytales. Needless to say, Pinocchio devours this book. There were more books of this nature??
Thus starts a bond between you two. Late night reading sessions. P eagerly tapping your shoulder when he sees something interesting. You reading aloud passages.
Many times the hotel residents would find you asleep on the floor  while P sat beside you and silently read. Lady Antonia asked him to move a sofa into the library, so that you could at least prevent catching your death of cold.
That scared P, who then always ushered you to the couch once you got your reading material for the night. He wasn’t killing puppets just for you to die of a cold.
As P grows and understands emotions, he would often bring a book to you, point to a passage where a character felt something he felt and then point to himself. It helped when you put words to define his emotions. He would store away that knowledge.
There were moments when P would come home after a late night of stalking, and instead of just spending time in the library, he would wake you up and silently point to a page in a book. He never said anything in those moments but the passage he pointed you told all.
He’s very adept at matching the people he meets (their stories) to the fairytales he reads. It became a bit of an inside joke between you too, such as thinking of red ridding hood when Alidoro appears.
And yes, as you two grow closer and he gains more humanity, he really relishes the closeness reading brings the two of you. Sitting together reading often ends up being wrapped up in blankets, sleeping (resting in his case). And he loves how you never seem to stop analyzing the books you read. Sometimes when he’s bored or needs to get through some chore, he likes having you around to fill the silence.
Loves to rest his head in your lap, around your chest and listen to you read. It’s not just your voice, but the vibrations he feels as he listens. It just makes him feel nice inside. If you fall asleep, he likes to pretend he also fell asleep, just to hold onto the moment longer.
Most of the relationship is you giving him books to read, but every once in a while, he’ll surprise you with a recommendation. It’s not always something he read, but something he thinks you might like.
And yes, any book he finds outside comes straight to you.
Imagine teaching him to write down his thoughts and make his own story! That thought really hits him when he denies his father and the fight happens. It’s the first time he chose his own path.
You can always tell what mood he’s in by what he’s been reading.
The day that made you cry though was several weeks after Geppetto’s death. P was strangely quiet about his father’s secret and subsequent death, and though you pressed him to communicate something to him, you also knew he needed his space. So you took to seeing what he had been reading. But there was only one book, The Little Match Girl. He had been reading the story over and over again, seemingly lost in the young protagonist’s visions. You cried hard that day. How must he feel after being betrayed, insulted, and rejected by his father as both Carlo and Pinocchio?
You hugged him hard that day, and told him that he is not doomed by a fairytale narrative.
You knew you had your Pinocchio back when you hugged your back and you could feel just a few drops of tears on your neck.

TRIGGER WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS MENTIONS OF SA
Tumblr media
You were such an ugly duckling when you were younger, but your personality and strength was something San had always found intriguing. It started the day you stopped his father from killing a bunch of werewolf pups. You stood your ground, only at the age of ten. You showed no fear as the pups cowered behind you. That is when she had caught his attention. He would tease you, call you names, just like everyone else did, because you were compassionate towards the creatures. But he would constantly do that just to get a rise out of you, there was something cute and enticing when you flared your nostrils and glared at them for teasing you.
But as you got older, you became a beautiful swan. Flawless and perfect and every time he saw you his heart would stop. He would make up any excuse to be near you, using the facade to tease and bully you. But unlike when you were younger you learned how to be composed and not react to him. It only made him want her more. He knew that he wasn’t the only one who had eyes on you, his friends would gladly make a wife of you one day even if you did care and wanted to protect supernatural creatures. He couldn’t let that happen, no, you needed to be his, only his.
He eventually put aside his bullying demeanor and tried to show you a more softer side of him, which truly took you by surprise. But still you would keep your distance from him and close yourself off to his advances which frustrated him to no end. San also did his best to please and treat your father with respect in hopes to win him over. Because in the end, he would do anything to make sure you’d become his and no one else’s. When Wooyoung asked you for your hand in marriage, it gave San great pleasure to watch you turn him down almost immediately with no guilt.
That’s when he went to his father and told him that he wanted you as his wife. His father said he would make sure that it would happen and it pleased him to no end. But when his father came back and told him that not only you but your father had turned the marriage down, he was enraged. Why? Why would you say no to him? Out of all the men here, he was the best choice for you, he would treat you like the goddess you are. The next day he cornered you in the stables and pressed you against the wall, his hand gently cupped your cheek and made you look at him.
“Why?” San asked in urgency. “You know you have to marry at some point, why not me?” Your eyes were void of any emotion as you gently removed his hand from your cheek.
“I’d rather die alone.” You responded. “I don’t plan on marrying anyone, especially you San. How could you expect me to marry you after how you’ve treated me all my life?” You used all your strength to push him away from you as he stared at you with shocked eyes. “There are plenty of women who throw themselves at your feet. Go marry one of them.” You hissed and as you tried to leave San pulled you back and pressed you against the wall. His lips pressed against yours and you gasped as you tried to push him off. His lips moved to your neck and nipped at your skin. You slapped his back as you felt him chuckle against your skin.
"I can make you mine, right now. Take you in the hay right here." He growled softly as he sucked on your skin. You whimpered in response as you tried to get out of his grip. "I want to so badly, I want to make you mine, to love you. Let me, let me love you y/n." He whispered as his hand slid under your dress and up your thigh. You didn't want this, you didn't want him. You took this opportunity to knee him in the groin and when he cried out and fell in front of you, you stood above him in anger.
"You fucking bastard." You choked out. "You think you can force me to be yours?" You hissed as tears flew down your cheeks. "The next time you dare touch me, I swear to god you will lose your hands." You rushed out of the stable and that was the last time he had seen you.
When the announcement came that you had been chosen to marry the wolf king, San had destroyed almost everything in his home. He knew that he couldn’t go against the king's order and neither could you. But he would die before he’d see you in another man’s arms. It took him a while to find you, find the castle where you had been moved to. But when he saw you, beneath him, giving him your innocence, it took all of his strength to stop himself from storming over and killing him as he laid on top of you.
How? How could you so eagerly give yourself to him? In such an open place? How could you loudly cry his name? How could you say you love him? Him? He was nothing compared to San. A small pathetic excuse of a man. The only difference was that he wasn’t human and because of that he had a significant advantage. Killing him and taking you now would be a stupid idea. His minions would be on you both in seconds, and he would lose you once again and be killed before he could even have you.
No he had to think this through. That’s when he had the plan to use her father to his leverage. His plan would have worked if that younger brat didn’t push the bastard out of the way. He would have been dead and you would have been his.
“God damn it!” San screamed as he crashed a chair against the wall. His friends, who had been there with him for the attack flinched. Wooyoung gently gripped his shoulder in hopes to calm him.
“We knew this wasn’t going to be easy.” Wooyoung said quietly. “Especially now that we overheard what was discussed. San, she’s a witch. She’s one of them.” San growled in response.
“I don’t care.” He spat. “I don’t care if she’s a witch, if she’s one of them. I have wanted her my entire life and when she’s back here no one will tell a soul about it. She’s human, she’s always been human!”
“I don’t understand how you could still want her after she so willingly has given herself not only to the King, but to his men.” Mingi said and looked at him. “She’s nothing but used goods now.” San gave him a warning glare and he raised his hands up in defense. “All I’m saying is I wouldn’t be so forgiving.”
“Let’s just focus on getting her back here and back to him. Insulting her is only going to anger San further.” Hongjoong said quietly. “We are lucky we all made it back alive, they were too worried about that Hyunjin guy to even bother hunting us down.” The men nodded silently in agreement. San sighed and picked up the chair he threw and sat down on it.
“If they were just normal men, she’d already be here in my arms.” San growled out. “But it had to be the king of the fucking wolves, out of all people.”
“The pack members are each other’s weakness and hers. We could use that to our advantage. Get one of them, poison them with enough wolfbane to weaken them but not kill them. Use them as leverage, I’m sure she will come willingly.” Seonghwa said quietly. “You said she has a great fondness for the other two that were with her and the king. Out of the two, which one did she seem to care for most?” San smirked and looked over to him.
“His name is Changbin, and I know for a fact she loves him almost as much as she does that bastard king. Take him? She’d do anything to make sure he returns unharmed.”
Yeosang watched them all warily from the corner as they conjured up their new plan. He and Yunho both exchanged glances in worry. Both of them cared for y/n. They never treated her differently than anyone else, never bullied her. But they weren’t exactly friends with her either, though they had always wanted to be. They didn’t want to see her get hurt, but they knew better than to show San they were against him. He was unhinged, there was no chance knowing what he would do if they spoke against him. They just hoped that the King would protect you, and that you’d never have to end up in San’s arms. Because once San did have you, they were scared of what he would do.
While all that was happening you were laying in Chan's arms, he hadn't left your side since you had woken up. He was terrified of losing you, terrified of San getting his hands on you. He knew the man was something to take seriously, after almost killing Hyunjin. He tripled the guards on the castle since then. He was going to do whatever he could to protect you.
You were also scared, you were so scared of losing Chan, of losing any of them. You were also thinking of something, something that would keep all of them safe forever. Something that Chan and the men would never allow. But as soon as Chan fell asleep you pressed your lips to his forehead and slid quietly out of bed. You took one last look at him, as tears slipped down your cheeks. You put on a cloak and shoes before setting eight letters on the table beside him. Eight letters, for eight good-byes.
Yes, you were going to leave. You were going to give yourself over to San. It was the only way you knew, that they would all truly be safe. You loved them all so much that you were willing to sacrifice your freedom and love in order to protect them. You were willing to sacrifice it all.
"Goodbye my King." You whispered quietly. "I will love you til my dying breath." You turned from him as you did your best to contain your cries and slipped out of the castle and into the woods. You would not let anyone else get hurt because of you. Never again.

Can you please do hcs for the gang with a clumsy S/O?
Tumblr media
A/N: Hey there! Thanks for requesting <3 you're super clumsy (love you anyways 💚) so I had a lot of fun writing this! Hope you enjoy it!
DARRY CURTIS
It’s both a blessing and a curse to be clumsy and dating Darry, there’s pros and cons here guys
Pro, he’s super big and super strong and will never have any problems picking you up if you’ve fallen or carrying you around
I totally see him telling you you’re safer in his arms than on your own feet and then carrying you around when he’s in a playful mood
Con, this man stresses out so much and he worries so much about you and your clumsy habits
Especially if you get hurt, he’s all huffy as he patches you up but he will kiss wherever you’ve hurt yourself and murmur reassurances the whole time
Will tease you for being clumsy? But it’s loving teasing, he’s just messing around with you and having fun <3 
SODAPOP CURTIS
He’s clumsy-ish too? But his clumsy only adds an extra endearing quality to him-
Soda’s compared to a colt in the book, very excitable and I can definitely see him like jumping around so fast he knocks stuff over and little things like that 
Sodapop, ever the gentlemen, is going to offer to carry everything for you so you have less of a chance to drop it
Like his brother, I firmly believe that he’d just scoop you up instead of letting you walk
The image of him carrying you, a bridal carry ‘cause we’re romantic, down the street because you tripped over yourself playing football in the lot and rolled your ankle-
He’d sit you on the edge of the tub and crouch down in front of you, wrapping your ankle deftly, cracking jokes and grinning up at you with that movie-star smile of his
PONYBOY CURTIS
I feel like Ponyboy’s very clumsy? But it’s like an ugly-duckling kind of clumsy
Like he’s only clumsy because he hasn’t really grown into himself yet and once he starts hitting some of his later teen years, he’s pretty suave-ish
So he’s used to the clumsiness and kind of tunes into your clumsiness?
That doesn’t make sense so I’ll explain- Pony’s so used to your clumsiness that he knows when you’re going to run into things even if he’s not looking at you 
Like he can be laying on the couch, fully engrossed in a book and you walk in and he’ll immediately say something like “wall” and you learn to stop, step away from the the thing Ponyboy says and continue on
That’s his way of looking out for you, y’know? He tries his hardest to prevent any injuries your clumsiness may cause
DALLAS WINSTON
Dallas with a clumsy S/O is actually the funniest and sweetest thing I’ve ever thought of
You’ve got Dally, calm, cool, and collected, leaning against the edge of buildings with a cigarette between his lips as he stares people into submission
And then there’s you, stumbling over the curb and falling almost onto your face when you tried to join him
You kind of ruin his ice-cold, bad boy image because he’s always having to reach out to catch you from falling and stooping to pick up what you’ve dropped but he can’t really bring himself to care
You’re a clumsy doll, but you’re his doll, and he thinks you’re awfully cute
He’s gonna roll his eyes and blow smoke in your face when you do something stupid like trip over your own feet and run into things but he does it all with the fondest smile
JOHNNY CADE
I think you’re gonna worry Johnny a lot, the poor boy is constantly keeping an eye on you and trying to lead you away from danger
But it's almost an exasperated kind of worry? Johnnycake just doesn’t understand how someone could be this clumsy
You drop things, run into stationary furniture, choke on air and trip over your own feet for crying out loud-
Johnny’s doing his best to keep you alive, okay?
This boy presses soft kisses to all of your random little bruises and you can’t tell me that he doesn’t
He winces every time he hears you fall and will call out to see if you’re alright, waiting patiently for you to reply before he goes to check on you 
TWO-BIT MATHEWS
Two-Bit is a clumsy mess. He just is. No room for debate here friends :)
He’s tall and lanky and sometimes a little drunk and he’s clumsy
The two of you are constantly holding onto each other so you don’t fall over but half the time you end up stumbling into each other's arms
But you guys are cute clumsy, you try to help each other out and it’s just really cute okay?
Both of you are constantly running into doors and dropping things
The gang just rolls their eyes whenever you guys trip over things or trip over each other-
STEVE RANDLE
Super worried part two! He’s concerned when it comes to your clumsiness and is worried about your safety <3
Will do his best to patch up any of your injuries but can’t help it if he’s a little rough, he makes up for it in kisses
I don’t think Steve would tease you for being clumsy?
Like- the occasional little remark about he can’t believe you did what you did, but he’s not gonna tease you like Dal or Curly or Tim
He thinks you’re cute baby! Really cute! Loves the way you smile sheepishly when you catch something you drop before it hits the ground
Steve just loves you okay? No matter what, no matter how clumsy, he just really loves you
TIM SHEPARD
To preface, Tim is the kind of guy who would watch you fall, not even flinch, and then calmly ask if you’re okay
If you are, he’ll silently offer you a hand to pick you back up with a wide smirk on his face
If you’re not? He’ll crouch down to your level and look over you, determining how bad it is before helping you back up
He’s surprisingly gentle if he has to patch up your cuts and scrapes and anything else you do to yourself? Very gentle hands
Tim’s gonna make so many jokes about your clumsiness but that’s a him only thing
Maybe he’ll let Curly and Angela get away with a joke or two, but if anyone says anything else, they’re getting a cold look from the head Shepard
CURLY SHEPARD
The teasing is ruthless I tell you, absolutely ruthless and you need to learn to expect nothing else from Curly
All of the teasing terms and his jokes, he thinks he’s funny guys
If you’re the kind of clumsy person who has a tendency to walk into furniture and door frames (that’s me guys), Curly is going to laugh at you  
But in reality, Curly thinks you’re super cute, he can’t keep back the soft smile when he sees you catch yourself from falling and you just look so proud of yourself
Wants to hold your hand when you’re walking and always makes sure to put you on the inside of the sidewalk when you’re around town, keeping you away from the edge so there’s a lesser chance of you falling into traffic
He makes sure that there’s always a handful of extra bandaids and stuff at the Shepard household so in case you end up cutting yourself or something while you’re over, he can help you out

Light A Candle for Me
Hey guys, here is a Diwali special fic. It is a two shot and revolves around this beautiful little holiday of lights. The first part sets up the rest of the story. Second part should be a little bit more comedic.
ugly duckling/late bloomer chubby reader x rich idol Jungkook
Triggers: non-con picture taking (Y/N is still clothed) , eventual smut (rough)
Disclaimer: The Jungkook written in this fic is not an accurate representation of the real life Jungkook's thoughts or actions. Keep in mind that this is fiction. has minimal to no proofreading.
What is she doing out of her lair? You mean, Y/N, the girl who shall never be named?
That was the manner in which everyone at HYBE perceived Y/N. She was a desolate, mousy , rather quaint girl that lived in what you could call the basement of HYBE. She was head of tech support and she lived in her little dungeon till they needed her expertise to access their security footage or if there was a glitch with any of the computers upstairs.
She rarely came upstairs to the cafeteria or upstairs in general for that matter, preferring to pack her own lunch ----a green bamboo circular bento set that nobody had ever seen the contents of. The three other people working in the IT department would come and go easily, socializing with the rest of the building, but Y/N, the big boss, or "Bowser" as she had been dubbed by Jungkook and Jimin, kept to herself.
Y/N always wore a black baggy cotton shirt with black cardigan, black framed circular glasses, and black slacks that looked freshly pressed every morning. She smelled of laundry, baked cookies, and tangerines. The only reason Jungkook knew her scent so well was because of one incident in which he had spilled coffee over his keyboard. The wireless keyboard had died on him, and so when he summoned Y/N, her majesty, from her underground dungeon, she had just slightly brushed up against him to reach the keyboard.
That was when he had come to the conclusion that she was the equivalent of a librarian, ghostly, quiet, and strict with a very convincing resting bitch face. Y/N never spoke. It's not as though she didn't communicate. But she just never spoke to fill the silence, as most people tend to do. It's as if she reveled in it. To add insult to injury, her quiet demeanour along with her resting bitch face (which Jungkook swears to the this day, was ready to kill him with a machete for the damage to his keyboard ) made people fear her.
She only every speak when it was required and when she did speak, in a resounding, firmly assertive voice, devoid of any doubt, she intimidated most of the staff and even the boys to some degree. Even Yoongi had been scared to call her for help when the computer in his genius lab was malfunctioning.
Her clothes, her attitude and her overall aura presented as a festering ground for rumors to spread. Some said that she was so ugly and drab, that she had never been approached even once on a casual date. Other absurd rumors stated that she had a string of boyfriends, who mysteriously disappeared one by one.
None of them were true. But that little tidbit was irrelevant to the gossipmongers of HYBE. Bang PD knew how much of a hard worker Y/N was. She kept all the viruses, firewalls, and glitch errors out of HYBE. Her work spoke for itself; impeccable at cybersecurity, Y/N as head of IT made sure that there was never a data breach at HYBE and she even went so far as to trouble shoot for errors before they even happened. If there were malicious online rumors about any members of any group at HYBE , she and her team members made sure to take those down, and to get rid of them without even a peep.
Y/N sighed wearily at her office desk, holding her pounding head in her hands . Tomorrow was Diwali and she really wanted to celebrate. She had been pulling late nighters for the past few days, as she had to help the PR team handle all the online press regarding Jungkook's solo album release in the US. It was so hectic, that at this point she felt as though she truly lived in her office. But, she really wanted to celebrate the festival. The holiday meant a lot to her as a kid, and even now. Her family had celebrated it growing up and she wanted to uphold the tradition annually.
Getting up from her chair, she packed her bags, ready to go home and clean up. There was a party for the Diwali at her cousin's house tomorrow evening, and she would have to wear a sari to work. Y/n usually maintained her drab and rather somber business attire without fail, but she didn't have enough time to go home and change before the party. She would have to brave it out. Being an introvert, she was sure the extra attention would freak her out. But desperate times call for desperate measures.
Everyone in HYBE were functioning normally the next morning. Yet, as soon as y/N arrived, they all felt like they were either hallucinating or experiencing a collective brain aneurysm. Since when did Y/N wear color? Any color other than black that is?
Suzy, the receptionist felt like she was about to faint. She took a double look to make sure that it was truly Y/N entering the front door. Who the hell was this goddess? Y/N had on a red and gold sari in a chiffon, silky material draped over her curvy body. She had a bright red circular bindi over her forehead with gold bangles gracing her wrists and a gold chain adorning her neck. She looked like something divine, as she entered the building in her red high heels which couldn't have been more than 2 inches tall. Yet, the diminutive heels changed the way she walked, or shall we say glided. She had put in contact lenses as she had left the glasses at home.
Just as Suzy almost accepted Y/N's fabulous appearance, she saw the back of Y/N's outfit and almost had a seizure. It was backless, showing off her beautiful soft skin glinting in the morning light. The only thing keeping her blouse together was a singular golden thread that was tied up at the back. Suzy could see Y/N's spine all the way till right above her bum. Damn, Suzy needed a fan and water. If she was lesbian, she would've jumped on Y/N already by now.
Y/N decided that she would get some food at the cafe since it took her so long to get ready in the morning. She had no time to pack her usual. She sauntered over to the cafeteria in her traditional ensemble to pick up some coffee and a scone.
Mark's jaw dropped so low, it almost felt like he had dislocated it. Was this really Y/N? She looked like an otherworldly being, her expressive eyes framed with long lashes pulling him in. Her body called to him, and surely any other male in the room. The sari was draped so perfectly such that it showcased her figure. Her breasts covered by a sheer layer of chiffon, showing off her midriff , sloping down to wide hips that revealed skin as she bent down to pick up money she had accidentally dropped.
Her eyelashes fluttered on her cheek as she whispered out, "So sorry Mark, just happened to drop the money". She turned around as she took her order and just about every damn employee at the cafe decided that they needed a fan club just for her back. How had she hid her beauty for so long? She looked so perfectly feminine, that they didn't know how to process her in their brains and in.... other places.
Yoongi had come towards the cafe to grab a quick americano, and thank god he had no water in his mouth. Otherwise he would definitely have spit it out. He saw Y/N walking in his direction, and almost collapsed on the ground. His eyes couldn't believe what they were witnessing. Was this really Bowser? Their stoic tech support boss? How had she not been snatched up til this point?
As he pondered all this, he decided to do something that he wasn't exactly proud of. But, if he was going to have such a disjointed and jarring morning, he was going to make sure the rest of his members felt the same bizzare amazement and confusion as he did. He took a picture of her without her knowing, front and back, as he salivated, and put it on their group chat.
Jungkook had just arrived at HYBE, having gotten back from New York last night after his promotions in the US. He was so ridiculously tired, till he got a notification on their group chat. He never responded on it anyway. But he decided to randomly see what someone had sent.
He almost tripped on the pavement as he saw the picture that had been sent. whAT THE FREAKIN HELL?!!!! WHO WAS THIS BEAUTY AND WHEN DID SHE EXIST IN THEIR BUILDING??
The rest of the boys in the chat were just as incredulous. Jungkook saw all the interest all the boys were showing in the chat. They were literally thirsting over her. But no, he would have to have her. Her beautiful body , curving exactly where it was supposed to, with her lustrous curls tossed on her back, called to him. She was a siren, and her beauty was beseeching him. Who was this goddess?
He knew her body, but he didn't know her face or name. Yoongi hadn't posted her face. He would have to find out who she was. Not a difficult task for the golden maknae.

Does ES!Dean freak out and bolt? Does ES!Sam feel hopeful about the future for the first time since coming? Do ES!Sam&Dean evade each other forever?????? Do they accept it or try to play up their wtf reactions as if they havent been dreaming of this forever???

OKAY ANON LMAO I TOTALLY READ THIS WHOLE THING COMPLETELY WRONG!!!! i read it as: what if LS!Dean&ES!Sam walk in on LS!Sam&ES!Dean kissing, and wrote this big long terrible thing about it!!!! my mistake!!!!!!! i was about to click publish then read it again and realized my error! if y'all ever want that lesson in angst and torture, lmk lol.
but GAH!!! your BRAIN!!!! i had to write a narrative little thing about it, i hope you enjoy!
sam doesn't know where the hell anyone is.
he checks the kitchen. nope. the armory, no one. the library? empty. he checks everyone's bedrooms, the garage, the war room, the dungeon (still can't believe there's a future where he owns a dungeon), and they're all completely empty.
sam is starting to suspect that they all went out without him, despite the fact that sammy had immediately established the ground rule that no "same" winchesters can go out together without a pretty extensive disguise.
that rule had been established when they all went out to the bar to drink their collective problem away (with the younger winchesters in big-billed trucker hats) and a drunk girl had stumbled straight from older dean's unwilling arms into younger dean's infinitely-more-willing arms and did a double-take. then a triple-take. then she saw The Sams, and they got the hell out of dodge before things could get ugly.
twins exist, for sure, but identical twins separated by 10+ years? not really.
sam's walking down another of the infinite hallways when he spots dean--his dean.
he had given up on finding anyone and gone to do some more archiving work. it was one of the only things that kept him sane in this new reality, and he enjoyed the quiet, satisfying work of logging complicated artifacts in his older self's laptop.
it was outside on of these rooms that he finds dean.
sam is positive there's nothing on these floors but dusty, mostly unopened rooms full of non-sharp, lore-heavy papers and gadgets and pottery, so he's confused why dean is here at all.
(and another, more bitter part of him is surprised to see him here without his precious sammy)
dean's pressed against a door, and sam's steps slow, because he's seen this exact scene in that one movie about the blair witch that terence made him watch at stanford. they had all jumped and laughed and rolled their eyes, but sam had sat straight as a board, beer sweating and unopened in his hand.
dean is clearly not looking at him, face pressed into the doorcrack like he's trying to smell or something. sam creeps forward, listening, but can only dean's quick breathing.
is he hurt? sam picks up his pace.
when he's directly behind him, he leans his head in close. he can smell his own shampoo in dean’s hair.
“dean!” he says suddenly, because it’s his big brother, and sam is legally obligated to be a little shit about it.
dean jumps like he just took a bullet to the kidney, and he slams both hands over his mouth. he whips around with glaring eyes, but he’s clearly shocked by something. something not-sam.
“what the hell?” dean asks, sharply, voice barely above a whisper.
“what are we doing?” sam asks, lowering his voice, too. is something wrong? what’s in the room? sam makes a step forward, but dean reaches a hand out to sam’s chest, keeping him there.
dean raises his other hand to his lips, motioning for sam to be quiet. sam hunches instinctively, and creeps forward quietly.
he and dean are sharing space next to the door, and sam presses even closer so dean’s back brushes his chest with every inhale. there’s a few-centimeter crack in the door, just enough for light to come through, but they can only see a sliver of a shelf from here.
there are voices, sam realizes. behind the door. they’re faint, but one is getting steadily quieter and louder, like they’re pacing back and forth from the door.
"--leave, already?"
a soft laugh. "you don't mean that."
a groan. "yeah, sammy, i kinda do. i don't like this. that we have to hide this."
sam knew it was their older selves, but the confirmation of it shoots a spark of nerves all the way down to his toes. why are they here?
“we’ve hidden this before. we hide literally everywhere. all the time.”
“but it’s us, y’know?”
“even more reason. could you imagine telling dean that this is how we end up?”
“kid’ll wet himself in glee, promise you that.” a silence. “what?”
“nothing. just…”
“d’ah, stop lookin’ at me like that.” dean grumbles. and his voice stops moving back and forth.
“or what?” challengingly. sam flushes, because he knows that tone of voice. he flirts with that voice. keep it together, man, he wants to scream to his older self. dean shifts in front of him.
“or i’ll come over there and make you,” dean says, and sam can feel the dean in front of him tense up.
there’s silence in the room for a second, and sam can feel the ragged inhales of the dean in front of him. sam’s palms are sweating.
“how long have they been here?” sam asks quietly, and if he didn’t know better, he would say dean shudders as his breath hits dean’s scalp.
“i don’t know. i just found them a few minutes ago. they’ve been talking about us.”
sam can feel dean’s voice rumble, and he closes his eyes, tight.
the silence reigns, and sam leans forward even more,
“what are they doing?”
sam reaches forward to push the door open. dean makes a wordless hushed sound of protest, but sam has already knocked the door open an inch. it’s silent on its hinges.
sam leans over dean, and his blood runs cold.
sammy is sitting on a table, facing the door. dean’s waist is pressed between his thighs, and one foot has hooked around dean’s calf to hold them close.
they’re kissing.
they’re kissing.
sam can hear the wet sounds their mouths make as they part and connect. tongues flash in the yellow over-head lights.
the dean in front of him makes a noise, shocked and…and something else.
“hate that i have to have you here, sammy. want to fuck you on the kitchen table, make them watch.”
sam watches his own face contort into a groan, watches older dean bite kisses down his throat. sammy’s lips are swollen and wet, and sam flushes hot because oh my god oh my fucking god—
“you like that idea, don’t you? spread you open for me, make your little favorite hear what a slut his older brother is? make him know you’re mine?”
younger dean’s hand flies to his mouth. sam desperately has to press a hand to his cock, and does so, praying that dean doesn’t turn around.
“no bites.” sammy pants, and tangles his hand in dean’s hair, pulling him away.
sam is shocked by the pure want and adoration on his older self’s face, and aches down to his very bones.
“can’t believe we wasted so much time.” he says, voice rough. his eyes are soft. older dean’s hand bunches in sammy’s shirt, and sam can see the tips of his ears go pink.
younger dean stumbles back, and slams into sam. sam jerks back with a yelp, throwing his hips away because he is terrified that dean is going to feel the hard swell of his dick in his jeans.
dean is panting, and his hand shakes on his mouth.
“oh my god,” dean whines. “they’re—together—they—“
“they’re fucking.” sam confirms, nodding and not knowing why. “they fuck. they fuck each other.”
“stop saying it!” dean whisper shouts, bending at the waist and standing up again, pacing in frantic little circles.
“together,” he’s muttering. “they’re—they—holy shit.”
sam’s heart is pumping in his ears. he can’t help it—he can’t—his eyes fall to dean’s crotch. there’s a bulge in his jeans. sam’s mouth goes dry. his whole body goes hot.
does…does dean—
“i don’t—“ sam says, but he doesn’t know what he’s going to follow that up with.
“yeah, i know.” dean says, laughing breathlessly. then his eyes get wide and he grabs a fist of his hair. “oh fuck. what are we gonna do?”
“pretend we didn’t see anything?” sam suggests.
“we were going to—y’know! to you!!! y’all!” dean says. he’s panicking. sam’s hope starts to curdle.
“say it—fuck. they’re fucking!” sam hisses. dean groans like he’s going to be sick.
dean put his hand over his mouth and starts muttering again. sam catches a few words. “kiss—how could he do that—little brother—we promised—can’t believe—“
something strange shifts in sam’s chest. since he was freshly 11—hell even before that, when he found out his kindergarten teacher was engaged, and sam found out what “marriage” meant, he had grabbed dean’s hand excitedly when he came to get him from the classroom and elatedly told him “we’re gettin’ married! i’m gonna marry you!” dad had later disabused him of that, and dean had crawled into their bed later that night and kissed sam’s tear-streaked cheeks. “it’s okay sammy,” he said, “i’m gonna be at your weddin’ anyway. standin’ right behind you.” sam’s stomach had curdled. “but if you’re really, super old—like 29–and you’re still not married, we can talk about it.”
sam had thought about it when he was 13 and watching dean press the girl of the month against the side of the impala from the motel window. 16 years to go, he had thought with all the tone and life of someone counting down the years of a terminal diagnosis. he had been rotting with this for years.
and they—future they—did it! are doing it? they…they’re together. in all the ways. in every way.
“i gotta go,” dean mutters, and sam catches one look at his overwhelmed expression before dean takes off. sam blinks after him, still processing.
together. he and dean together.
“dean,” sam calls. he’s shocked by how breathless he is, and clears his throat. “wait up!”
he follows his brother, like he’s been doing since he was six.
but for the first time in his life, his chest swells with a tentative, frantic hope. he’s afraid the weight of it—of them—will choke him. he doesn’t know what’s going to happen. dean probably won’t talk to him. but sam—he—it’s starting. this could go either way, but whatever this is—love, family, whatever—is starting.
and he can’t wait to find out.
~~~
“do you think they’re talking about it?” sammy asks later, washing his face before bed. dean is sitting on their bed with a cleaning cloth, freshly showered. “do you think it was enough of a kick in the ass?”
“knowing us, not a fucking shot.” dean says blandly, cleaning his gun. “at this rate, i think i will actually have to suck your cock in the library four times a day to get it to sink in.”
sam rolls his eyes, and dryly says, “romantic.” he adjusts his collar and his eyes land on a couple of splotchy bruises on his neck. “hey!” he leans out of the bathroom. “i think you actually left bruises.”
dean looks up, face purposefully placid.
“whoops. let’s hope pipsqueak doesn’t see those.”
sam scowls.
“you’ve got issues.”
dean lifts one shoulder up in a coy shrug and tilts his head.
“aw, baby. only for you.”
“you’re an ass!” sam calls as he steps back into the bathroom. he looks at his and dean’s toothbrushes sitting side-by-side.
he smiles. yeah.
they definitely got them.
~~~
PS - aw! thank you so much!!! it’s not weird at all! and yes, that's completely correct, haha! ES!Sam is for sure kissing Cas on both cheeks!
LS!Dean is the guy running up and trying to stop it but the poor fool is too late! they are embracing!
Tumblr media
Tumblr media

The stuff going on in the Law of Assumption community kinda takes me back to when I was a teenager and desperate to have actual social skills, and being attracted to ugly-duckling-to-swan stories like Gigi and The Princess Diaries. These narratives basically suggested that there was some easy way to transform myself into someone appealing and desirable; all I'd have to do was learn the Proper Etiquette and Curious Little Rules and bam, it could all be mine.
And like, at the time I was too young to really think about whether what the films depicted was really a good thing. I didn't have the context to understand how Mia's princess makeover was pushing certain Eurocentric beauty standards, or that the whole "yeah you can't really be a princess until you ditch the glasses" thing was kinda ableist. Not to mention, y'know, the whole girlboss feminism of it all, and upholding the idea that monarchy is desirable, and y'know, a lot of things that just don't occur to you when you're a teenage girl. (Nonbinary egg in my case, technically, but ya know.)
And today the LOA community is offering a similar thing, a kind of magic formula that'll supposedly allow all of these struggling teenagers sort out their lives, while pushing harmful beauty standards and advocating lifestyles that seem glamorous on the surface, but are actually just... terrible. Like the k-pop industry and modeling industry are horrifically exploitative, and the idea that the rich and famous are all fantastically happy people because they've manifested their best lives falls apart when you examine how much abuse goes on in Hollywood and how people like Donald Trump are incredibly insecure. Meghan Markle was so stressed out from the press that she and her husband left the UK.
And then of course, the LOA community pushes the idea that you can manifest all of these perfect lives that people on social media supposedly have. But the fact is, those social media doesn't show you reality; it shows you what the other person wants you to see. Those gorgeous pictures you see on Instagram are carefully staged and edited. A middle aged vlogger used filters to pass herself off as a young woman. One YouTube influencer decided to play a silly prank and claim that photos of herself taken in an IKEA store were actually taken in Bali - and to her surprise, her followers ate it up. Another influencer led people to think she was living this amazingly glamorous life when in reality, she was living in a filthy apartment. One influencer faked a hiking picture in her own back yard.
The Law of Assumption thrives among people who don't know a lot about the world yet, and don't realize that beautiful facades often conceal mundane to horrific realities. It thrives among people who don't have enough experience to consider that Neville Goddard, like many influencers of our time, might have just been lying.
I remember being that young and naive, and if I had come across something like this I might have been caught up in it. It's absolutely designed in a way that appeals to certain vulnerable young people, and that's what makes the whole thing so insidious.
If you are questioning or trying to get out of the LOA community and need help, please see this post.
