i think this scene is funny, too, bc hikaru says this like they're at a place they can split up. together they went two hours from home to have fun, hikaru almost right away doesnt have fun, and then tries to break off from yoshiki. like what would have happened here if tanaka didnt show up, would hikaru have just left yoshiki at the beach? would they have gone back sad together lol?? he really did just spur of the moment do that.
its interesting to contrast to yoshiki trying to end things with hikaru earlier
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yoshiki originally did his best to ignore the potential problem and is stunned when something bad does happen, while hikaru repeatedly wants to talk about problems (even to multiple people) and thinks about things for a while. Hikaru suddenly announces he wants to go to the beach, while yoshiki planned to spend all day letting hikaru enjoy himself. hikaru is unable to let himself have fun at the beach, while yoshiki has hikaru do multiple of his favorite activities. hikaru expresses himself a lot about what he's thinking and feeling, while yoshiki wordlessly cut to the chase. yoshiki gives up after things dont go as planned, and hikaru is insistent upon self-sacrificing despite yoshiki's disapproval.

lowkey max saying him and daniel are "on one line now" in that one interview from the summer (?) is so crayzee to me because he made a literal translation from a dutch expression and if i were to explain it it's like, 'to be able to speak freely with each other, feeling safe in the knowledge that the other will interpret what you say correctly, understanding each other deeply, to see things the same way, be of the same mind' like he really said we Get each other we Understand each other better than before even we are on the same wavelength and that sure was a statement and still is a statement

not on the same wavelength. | Ona Batlle.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
category: ANGST. proper.
summary: one jealous and the other uncommunicative.
word count: 1.9k. these keep getting shorter.
a/n: this was meant to be longer but couldn’t figure out how to carry it on. part 2 may be persuaded.
Tumblr media
You were entirely envious of your girlfriend when she got the offer to go back to Barcelona, your home town.
She had been reluctant to tell you in fear of how you'd react, guilty of the fact that she chose her career over you and your feelings.
When you were dropped from the B team and moved to England, you knew you had no real chance to move back there again. The board basically told you you weren't good enough, and they do and will never need you.
You had ranted and cried all day after that meeting to Ona, and that's when she offered for you both to move as far away as possible.
The words made you freeze; you hadn't a clue about how football was run outside of Spain and didn't know a word of any other language. Her idea made you scoff.
"Don't be silly, Ona. That won't work." You shook your head as you continued your pacing, rubbing a hand down your face in the meantime.
"How do you know? It might be good to get a fresh start, you know? Just us two." Ona shrugged as she fiddled with one of your pillows she held in her lap; it was obvious she was struggling too.
"What? You're willing to actually give up on Barcelona.. for me?" Your voice cracked in acknowledgement, coming to a still before you looked at her, playing with the necklace you were wearing, which sported her initials.
"Amor, I'd give up everything for you, and I'd do anything for you. Think about it."
"I don't need to; let's do it. Fuck Barca." You agreed as you climbed onto the bed next to her, enthusiastically pulling her down to lay on top of you, squeezing her as tight as possible.
"You don't mean that." She mumbled into your chest as you practically suffocated her with your embrace, giggling softly when her baby hairs tickled your skin.
"No, I don't.. but fuck the directors."
You spent the rest of that evening researching other clubs and their logistics, as well as shouting out each club name until you found one that was at least suitable whilst still being Barcelona fans.
You had both called your agents the next day, asking for offers from any clubs and telling them you were ready and wanting to leave Levante and Barcelona behind- a fresh start.
When one of the clubs you both agreed to consider popped up in one of the options asking for both of you, you didn't hesitate and signed for the summer transfer of 2020 to Man United.
It was perfect for the both of you- a relatively newly founded club with an ambition to score high- and that was just what you both wanted and needed.
To say you were the star signings was an understatement; you both practically carried the team.
You loved it in England a lot, and you always expressed your feelings around your opinion, but Ona never agreed. Although she did love it there, it wasn't Barca, and it wasn't home.
She was homesick, incredibly, and it made you feel like shit, and it never left.
You both had made good friendships within the team and formed a tight-knit group, which benefited the club's style of play; however, you could see Ona struggle, whereas you did not have that difficulty.
She had never been that outgoing, not like you.
There were many times where Ona was left alone, having difficulties being herself without you there, and she'd watch you do what she so desperately wanted to do but couldn't.
You tried hard to get her to join in, and the halfhearted letdown always made your heart drop. That was one thing you didn't want to happen. To become distant.
For you, it felt like Ona was further away from you than she would have been if she stayed in Barcelona, and it killed you.
You didn't know what to do at all, but she promised that this is what she wanted, and it made you feel bitter that she's making you feel that you are the one that's put her in this predicament; it wasn't.
You woke up many nights in an empty bed. Ona was somewhere in the apartment by herself, and you knew she wouldn't dare leave the space of her own home, if it even was.
You traced her side of the bed through the crinkles of the cold bedsheets before you forcefully closed your eyes and turned over, a single tear slipping past your barrier.
Neither of you fell asleep that night. Ona had crept back to bed, but you could hear she was wide awake, just like you, yet she didn't move or make a noise. She let you both drown in the unknown silence and wait for further communication.
Having kept yourself away from her, you didn't realise or know her state. How much she was bottling her feelings and emotions up, her struggle however made you struggle, and the air kept inside your bottle felt like it would explode any minute.
Grabbing your phone was an indication to Ona that you were conscious that morning. She was lying on her side of the bed, looking up at the ceiling with her knees bent upward, pulling some of the cover off of you as she stared at your side profile.
You didn't say your usual good morning and give her your first kiss of the day; she didn't realise that you knew and that she was hurting you, so she moved to snuggle up to you.
You kept your focus on your phone, though, trying too hard to conceal your emotions. The aura that was irradiating from you left Ona with the battle of actually looking at you or not, and your body stiffened as she snuck her arm around your stomach, making her stick with the latter.
"Are you okay?" She mumbled into your side, playing with the hem of your t-shirt to distract her from what was to come.
"Fine. You?" You curtly answered before sniffling, taking one of your hands off your phone to trace Onas side with your finger tips.
Your slight touch welled tears in Ona's eyes; she didn't want to feel the way she did yet she did, and her feelings will most definitely hurt yours, not knowing whether she'd get another intimate moment again if it all blows up.
She tried to keep the flow at bay, but she struggled, drops falling one by one onto your t-shirt before she sniffled, grabbing your attention.
"Ona.. What is it that you're not telling me? I can see you, all of you. You're not very good at hiding it." You frowned, placing your phone back on your bedside table before playing with her hair gently, caressing her head as she stayed curled up into you.
You could feel her trying to say something; her hard breathing was delaying.
"Lo siento. Lo siento mucho amor. I'm just... it's so hard." She cried and buried herself deeper into you, yourself responding by gently pulling her up closer towards you so her face could be buried in your neck.
"I know, but we're together, right? That's all that matters as of now."
She didn't respond, continuing to sob into your neck, and your hand hesitated its journey down her back before your eyes started to tear up.
"Right?" Your voice cracked as you didn't get your answer, your mind whirling in all different directions.
"I want to go home. I want to go home, Y/N. I can't take this anymore." She sobbed as she sat up, messily brushing all of her wet strands of hair away from her face.
Your heart dropped at her words, the guilt seizing you. You didn't know what to say, and you removed your gaze from hers before fiddling with your hands.
"This is football, Ona. You can't pick and choose; it's brutal, I know, but sometimes.. you have to make sacrifices to get what you want, even if it's hard. Barcelona is not on the agenda right now, and we're not on theirs; they may never need us. You have to understand that, Ona." You tried to convince.
You knew what you were saying were lies, as there were rumours that Barcelona wanted the both of you back for a while now, but you wanted Ona to stay with you, and you didn't want to go or let go.
"It's not just the club and football, though; I miss my life, my family, and my physical home. I miss home." She suffocated in her own tears, looking up at the ceiling to try and lessen the current trailing down her cheeks.
"What about me? Am I not your home? Your life? Like you have told me multiple times before."
"You are, but just a part of it, and I'm sorry.. but it's not enough. I am not satisfied with Manchester; I'm not satisfied like this."
"And you’re not satisfied with our relationship, got it." You whispered with a curt nod, pushing yourself to sit up a bit more and chuck the covers off of you.
"Y/N.."
"You know what, Ona? This was your idea, your fucking idea to do this, and your pinning all of your... whatever! on me." You began shouting after you got up from your bed, shaking your head at Ona's selfishness.
"I'm not.."
"You may not think it, but you are. I have felt like absolute dog shit the whole time we've been here. Especially these last few weeks, and I don't know what to say to you, Ona. I don't know. You're killing me."
"I didn't realise; I'm sorry." She mumbled as she shuffled closer to the edge of the bed, in reach of you. You allowed her to grab your hand before she rested her head on your stomach. Though you made no effort to comfort.
"Ona, I just don't know what to do. I love you. I love you so much, but I don't think I'm good enough to return, mentally and physically." You laid a dead hand on the top of her head as she wrapped her arms around you, awkwardly pulling you in tighter.
"It's okay, but you have to know.. I want to go home, and I want to do this in a way where we'll be okay.."
"Ona, it's not you thinking of leaving that is upsetting me.. I'm not stopping you. It's the fact that you have continuously lied to me this whole time about how you felt. It has almost felt like you haven't trusted me, and you don't trust me. It has really hurt me how I have known what you were feeling without you actually telling me."
"I feel like I'm losing you.." She whispered loud enough for you to hear, a fresh batch of tears finding home to soak in your t-shirt.
"You're not losing me; you'll never lose me. I'm losing you." Your voice cracked before you sniffled, hands trailing to Onas cheeks to pull her face away from you. You looked down at her as she sheepishly looked up while leaning into your touch before you bent down to place your forehead against hers.
"No.."
"I think the best thing we need right now is space. I'm going to go stay with Lucia for a bit; you can stay here." You pulled away, your hands reluctantly falling from her face.
"No, Y/N.. please, this will make it worse." Ona grew panicked as she let out a sob, her hands flailing to find your own again and bring them back to her.
"Please Ona. Just let me go. I'm sorry."

Hi, loved your art rendition of white haired Raiden. I know the white hair is due to the winter themed season that's happening in the game, but I can't help but think that sweet summer boy gets the fully white hair treatment due to ✨trauma✨. Like, he nearly dies or whatever and the outcome in saving Raiden is that he obtains the white hair he once possessed in the previous timeline. Can imagine Liu Kang getting silently fucked up emotionally about this as he starts to fear that the old timeline is slowly bleeding into the new Raiden and starts to contemplate the possibility of neutering Raiden if he starts to fall down the same rage-filled path that the previous Raiden went through.
Hi~
Oh no-no-no, we are on a same wavelength here! 🤝 I can't speak for Novice, but I was drawing my white haired Raiden with the intent that Something Happened™ (to be honest, I completely forgot about the frozen skins, besides the cool hair on everybody and a few tats it didn't struck me sm :'D) That's also why he would be self-conscious about his new color for a while, since it would be a reminder of The Thing™. Kung Lao would have to work double time to comfort and convince him that he looks hot "it's just hair" and the most important thing is that he's all right (but is he?.. 👀)
Liu Kang would definitely freak out, especially after what happened to Kenshi. Someone's interfering with the timelines again, or is it the fact than some things are "meant to be"?.. He would watch closely after Raiden, and I would say, Raiden's not going to like that. 😏
also imagine his hair glowing in the dark aajhhhh

Are you delusional? How? Short tarot PAC reading.
You can be delusional about so many different things, it could be a relationship, a job opportunity, or you may simply be projecting your insecurities onto someone. It’s fine as long as you’re well aware and know it’s a coping mechanism.
Tumblr media
First
Tumblr media
Second
Tumblr media
Third
Meditate carefully to intuitively select one of the images for your reading.
First image :
Cards : Eight of Wands, Knight of Pnetacles, Seven of Pentcles.
You are delusional about moving .
It appears that you have been contemplating a move or travel in the near future, but the cards indicate that this might not be happening as soon as you think. The presence of the Knight of Pentacles suggests a slow and steady approach, indicating that any major movement or journey is unlikely in the immediate future.
It seems that you have been nurturing a desire to go on a trip, perhaps to enjoy the summer season. However, the cards reveal that this desire might be somewhat unrealistic or overly optimistic at this point. It's essential to remain grounded in your expectations and not get carried away with fantasies of immediate travel.
The Knight of Pentacles also brings attention to matters of material stability and practicality. It suggests that you might be facing some challenges in the realm of finances or resources. It's crucial to address these concerns and focus on building a strong foundation in the Pentacle department, which represents material aspects and earthly matters.
Instead of investing energy in the idea of traveling right now, the cards advise you to concentrate on your current goals and aspirations. This is a time to work diligently and put in the effort to achieve what you desire. By being patient and persistent, you can make steady progress towards your objectives and eventually create the opportunity for travel and exploration when the time is right.
Second image :
Cards : Seven of cups , Justice, Hierophant
You are delusional about a decision.
The tarot cards are urging you to approach a significant decision with a clear and rational mind. The presence of delusion suggests that you might be allowing unrealistic expectations or wishful thinking to cloud your judgment. It's essential to ground yourself in reality and avoid daydreaming or getting lost in fantasies while making this choice.
The cards hint at the possibility that this decision might involve legal matters or ethical considerations. It's crucial to prioritize fairness and objectivity in your approach. Avoid making decisions based solely on emotions or personal biases. Instead, strive to be as ethical and moral as possible, ensuring that your actions align with your values and principles.
The cards also indicate that this is not the right time to make a choice that brings sudden and drastic changes into your life. Take your time, carefully weigh the pros and cons, and consider the potential consequences of your decision. Avoid rushing into anything impulsively. Patience and thoughtful contemplation are crucial during this period.
Third image :
Cards: 2 of pentacles, 2 of cups, the star.
You are not delusional about this connection .
 The connection between you and your partner is truly special and filled with positive energy. The appearance of the 2 of Cups and The Star cards signifies a beautiful and harmonious bond between the two of you.
The 2 of Cups symbolizes a deep emotional connection and a sense of mutual understanding. It represents the harmony and balance present in your relationship, where both partners are on the same wavelength. Your feelings and ideas align, creating a strong foundation of emotional intimacy.
Accompanied by The Star card, this reading emphasizes the presence of hope, inspiration, and creativity in your relationship. You both bring out the best in each other, and your connection goes beyond the material realm. The Star card signifies a spiritual connection, suggesting that your relationship is guided by higher ideals and a sense of purpose.
You both support each other's dreams and aspirations, encouraging one another to reach for the stars and pursue your true passions. This spiritual aspect of your bond fosters a deep sense of trust and encouragement, allowing you both to grow together in love and understanding.
Disclaimer:
Remember, the tarot serves as a guide, and the ultimate decision-making lies with you. Use the insights gained from this reading to navigate your path and make informed choices that align with your long-term goals and aspirations. Stay focused, stay patient, and success will come your way. Best of luck on your journey!

November and December sunrises and sunsets illustrations for my daily meteorological fiction project, Reports From Unknown Places About Undescribable Events (Twitter, Instagram).
Keep reading for captions.
November 3rd - We report: we remember around the beginning of the summer, when this time of the day the sky was bright, and the sun was still high. We do not exactly miss it; it will come back around. But we take a moment to notice the passing of time, marking a notch in our memory for later.
November 16th - We report from under this sunset: we are having thoughts about how things get old and scratched and broken over time, but the sky does not have a single scratch. It holds all those colours and those big, heavy clouds, and it gets torn up by the wind, and yet - not a scratch.
November 20th - We report, from the early morning, the wind is so strong that we are having a hard time breathing through the gusts. We are staggering down the street, whipped around as though we were a flimsy kite in the breeze. We squint between strands of wild hair to see the sun rise.
November 24th - We report: early morning, a red sun is rising through the clouds. We made our expert stay quiet for a long time so that we could appreciate the view. The water vapour is scattering most of the sun's light, except for the longest wavelengths in the colour spectrum - red.
November 28th - We report: in the face of sunsets, barometers and thermometers and anemometers, astrolabes, hygrometers and wind vanes really cannot do much. How do you measure the impression that colours and lights leave on the spectator of a particularly compelling sunset?
December 6th - We report: the clouds were so dark, and as far as we were concerned, we had seen this day's last drops of sunlight. At this moment, the wind picked up and took a few clouds along, revealing glimpses of a stolen sunset amidst the darkness. Soon enough, the gap closed again.
December 13th - We report a winter sunset as the colours bled in and out of the clouds; the blue of the sky, first, became lighter with hints of yellow. And the clouds, from grey and white to yellow and orange, and then red and pink too. We watched the sunlight lazily wash over the sky.
December 18th - We report a freezing night, and a chilly morning now. Even the sky looks cold, blankets over blankets that barely let the dawn through, small embers coming through gaps between the clouds. We take care of putting on extra layers of socks and jumpers and jackets on our way out.
December 26th - We report: we are making it through the darker days, we are making it through. We remember though, one bright and scorching summer day when the night would not come, for a moment we yearned for the darkest of winter. It is a fleeting thought in front of this burning red sky.
December 30th - We report that we are reaching the end of December, and we look for light wherever we can, still. Above the clouds, maybe, light survives a little bit longer than everywhere else, rich and glowing and it sticks to our skin. We may start parting with this year already.

Yeah I still think they only officially started dating after P’s injury. I always thought they would have blurred some lines or messed around before college especially during that time they were living together during covid so am not too surprised that’s the case.
I’m curious though as to if either of them ever brought up actually being in a relationship prior to college or if there was always a mutual understanding that that was strictly just a summer thing or whatever.
In saying all that, given lines were already blurred before college, I’m a little surprised it took as long as P’s injury for them to be more serious (if that is indeed correct) like I woulda thought P would jump at the chance of finally being together for real once Az got there but well ik there’s been theories of why it prolly took as long as it did. I also wouldn’t be surprised tho if things started getting more serious already towards the end of Az’s freshman year so like early 2022.
You and I are on the same wavelength down to the part where I have an early 2022 theory because there's a couple games right before Paige comes back, where you can tell (or I'm reading too much into it) there's a little bit of tension and it feels a little more than just Coach P being Coach P when she's yelling at Azzi.
To your point about addressing it/it taking so long, is that these are dumbasses (lovingly) we're dealing with. It's very easy when you only see each other a couple of times to pretend that you're definitely not more than so I don't think they thought (stupidly) that they needed to talk about it. Once you start living together, it becomes hard to ignore but it can also be really hard to let yourself acknowledge especially when you're stubborn (P) or an overthinker (A) so honestly if it took a year, I would not be shocked.

Hey so I was wondering how you’d describe each of the seasonal personalities. I’ve played a bit with each of them and I was wondering what would be the key traits that define them.
+ I was also wondering which seasons you’d assign to each cast member.
Oooooh okay before I get into the specifics, it's important to note that the seasonal personalities are how we easily define behaviors and track attribute changes in the game-- attributes being the 4C's which I can expand on if someone's curious about it (SURPRISE Keyframes is actually a bit of a stat raiser haha).
Like it's a cute touch for personalization, but in the backend scheme of things it's more for the dev's sake. That way we can give players an immersive experience while not shooting ourselves in the foot trying to account for everything ^^,
So by no means is any of this meant to be accurate to every individual player, it's just how we chose to define a thought process for the immersion.
With that out of the way, let's get down to it!
Spring
We considered them to be more charming. Joking, teasing, is how they tend to act. It's almost like theatre- they perform for others, and rope them in to join the show. Witty and quick on their feet, it takes a bit of dancing to catch them off guard. But if you happen to do so, they'd graciously applaud your efforts.
Point is, Spring people we defined to be the ones who are playful. They've got an ideology that is somewhat imposed on others but it's always indirect. With their flowery words, you might just end up being persuaded to go with their flow!
To add on to the stage references, they think of themselves as the playwright. The stage is theirs to command.
Summer
These types are more confident. Like the sun, they're bold and expressive. They're sort of similar to Spring, in that they also have their own ideologies that are being imposed, but they are way more direct with it. So before you know it, people are going with their flow not because they've been persuaded, but because Summer has already gone and done it!
If this is what they believe, then they're not easily swayed. If this is is what they want, then by heaven or hell they'll do it. Summers are sincere because there is simply nothing to hide with them. You'll know if you made them upset or if they're not 100% sold on an idea.
To continue with the stage references, they think they're the main lead! The story, their fate is their own.
Fall
People of this type are compassionate. They're supporters and observers. You might hear them ask, "What do you think" or "is there something on your mind". It's more important to them that the company they're with is comfortable even if it might be at the cost of their own.
They tend to pick up on other people's wavelengths and will curate their words and actions in response. In a sense, they're thoughtful and will consider all scenarios before making a decision.
Again with the stage references, they might see themselves as an arbitrary member of the play. Whether that member is the crew, or on the stage as a supporting character or even the main lead- it doesn't matter. They are helping the play unfold regardless.
Winter
Lasty, Winters are composed. They're more realistic from the rest and are largely unflappable because of it. You can count on them to respond to things objectively. Furthermore, they refrain from making things complicated or inflating them to an unnecessary degree because they've already thought everything through.
Winters are convicted in the same way that Summer people are but they keep that conviction to themself. From their perspective, if they know what they want, then that's good enough. Others will have to ask if they want to know. Because of this, they are seen as assured.
To wrap it up with the stage references, Winter types might see themselves in the audience. They take in the entire story and respond accordingly.
~*~*~*~
As for which cast member is what, the obvious line up would be:
Percy and Reynah for Spring
Elio in Summer
Cameron as Fall
And Deja and Jamie for Winter
To be honest, cast members are a bit more difficult to group into seasons because we defined them more with the player in mind. Like, Reynah could slot into Summer easily, Elio into Fall, and Jamie into Summer, and so on and so on. But that's because we gave the cast members depth and reasons for their behaviors.
Since we don't know anything about MC, but we're also attempting to give you a solid foundation into the world of Keyframes, the personalities allow us to insert you in with a framework in mind.
That way, your friends can be like "Yeah, that's how they've always been" at the start of the game and the rest of it can be us exploring your change as a person.
So don't sweat it if the game assigned you as a Summer type and it doesn't resonate with you. It's just meant to act as a nice starting point. As you play through the game, we'll clock what choices you've made and if you end up being more composed, charming, or compassionate then the cast will see that change as well. That's the cool thing about life, you don't have to stay the same-- and we'll do our best to reflect these natural changes in the two year setting we've planned!
Thank you for the ask! Hope that gives you a better idea of each season. ^^

a/n: sorry for the wait!!! i started a summer job and i’ve been hellllllaaaa busy lol- dw tho, im still writing!!
You have a relaxing dinner with Ahsoka until the end of the year approaches
warnings: cursing, cannon disabled character, insecurity, mention of periods, possible pregnancy mention,
_______________________________
More time passed and you prepped for finals; luckily this year you were able to exempt most of your sit in exams and instead only had one big project and a 20 page thesis due. 
You had been feeling nauseous for the past few days but the 20 page paper’s deadline was looming over you, so it was probably the stress from that. You also hadn’t had much time to eat, so you could also just be hungry. 
You ignored the feeling and went back to typing.
The paper was almost done, only two more pages then you were free for the weekend.. Just two more.
Ring Ring
Ahsoka was calling, you finished the sentence you were on before picking up the phone.
“Hey”
Hey hey! Are you busy tonight?
“I should be free after one more page of this thing”
Damn! Congrats! You've been at that shit since mid terms! I think that deserves celebration!
You laughed, hopefully she wasn’t proposing a party because you weren't quite feeling up to that.
“What do you have in mind?”
I dunno… wanna  just grab take out and eat it by the koi pond? I kinda just want a chill night before I have to start practice for nationals. 
“That sounds wonderful”
Cool! I'll see you at 6:30?
“Sounds good to me!”
Oki bye bye!
The end of the line clicked as she hung up and a small smile settled onto your face; even though you hadn’t known Ahsoka that long, the two of you just clicked and were almost always on the same wavelength.
Some of you wanted to tell her about Anakin, but you just felt like at this point it would add drama to the already stressful end of the year. 
You were seen as the baby of the friend group, so you wouldn’t know how they would feel if you and Anakin officially confirmed the relationship…Also Ahsoka could be a little dramatic at times and you were afraid she would become too involved and make jokes or treat you and Ani differently.
And you had known Anakin long enough to know that those small changes would piss him off and he might accidentally take it out on the relationship.
You got back to your computer when you got a really bad cramp in your abdomen. 
Oh fuck, you hadn’t gotten your period on its normal week so apparently its deciding to come now…great, something else to add to your delightful week.
You finally finished your paper and let out a long groan as you stretched your back. You grabbed your keys and headed down to meet Ahsoka outside the dorms. Once the two of you met up and got your food, you walked to the koi pond on the northern side of campus. 
The sun was setting and the sky was a mixture of beautiful oranges and pinks; you took a seat on the iron bench that overlooked the gardens surrounding the koi pond. 
“This is so nice, I needed to chill,” Ahsoka said, breaking apart the cheap wooden chopsticks that came with her bento box. 
“Yea, I feel ya” you said opening the box of lo mein you ordered. 
“Ya know, I cant believe i’m gonna be graduating in just a few weeks… Like what the actual fuck, I swear I was just a freshman like two weeks ago” Ahsoka baffled as she watched the fish swim laps around the pond. 
“Oh yea, I wanted to get a brunch with all of us next sunday before I have to go to nationals, would you be able to come?” she added.
“Yes! I’d love to” you responded, before remembering that would be one of the last times you would see her before her graduation. 
“I’m going to miss you so much Ahsoka” you said sadly, “Will you keep in touch?”
“Does a fish need water? Of course y/n!” she smiled; “you’re my best girl friend; sure sky guy and Ben are nice, but they're not another girl. And I like Satine alot, but she's older and in a totally different place in life than us, ya know?” 
“Yea, I’m glad we met too” you smiled. 
You conversed over random topics and future plans-
“Do you think you’ll party a lot next year?” she asked you
“Hmm, I don’t think so” 
“Why not? Don’t you wanna find a partner or atleast a hook-up?” She asked, biting down on her last California roll.
“I’m actually pretty content, I think most of my party phase was exhausted freshman and sophomore year” 
“Yea, I get it, I really only kept going out cause the team likes to go to the big parties. Kinda changing topics though, are you interested in anyone this year?”
You froze for a split second before bringing the noodles to your mouth, “Not really, I mean I’ve been seeing this guy off campus, but I wanna keep it on the dl and so does he” you responded (you didn’t have the heart to completely lie to her).
“Ooo, is he cute? How old is he? What's his name? Does he have socials? I gotta make sure he’s good enough for my girl”
“Hah, that's a lot. Umm, I think he's cute, he doesn’t use social media much, and he’s just a bit older” (yeah right, more like twice your age).
“Ok….what's his name?” she asked again, a devious grin on her face.
You smiled and looked away, “Ahsoka, I love you, but I can't tell you, I promised him we’d keep it under wraps… He’s a very private person” 
“Do I know him?” she definitely was gonna guess it if she kept at the questions.
You took all the power you could to construct a final lie, “no, I met him on a dating app”.
“Oh, never mind I guess, I’m happy for you!”
Phew.
You were not practiced in lying.
“Thanks, I really like him… I think I may be in love…I’ve never felt this way before” you smiled. 
“That’s amazing, y/n. Will I meet him some day?”
“Of course” 
The rest of dinner was pleasant, until your stomach started hurting again.
“What’s wrong?” 
“Nothing, I think I'm just gonna get my period soon” you said.
“Wait, shouldn’t you have gotten it like two weeks ago?”
Huh?
“Yea, remember, we’re kind of synced, You’ve been starting yours half way through my cycle since like September”
“Oh, I think it's just late from the stress”
“Hopefully so” she laughed, “Wouldn’t want that mystery man to have knocked you up”. 
She was joking, but something in you became worried… it had been a long time since your last period… and you and Anakin had been pretty busy…but wait
Anakin couldn’t have kids. 
The doctors said so.
But what if…
You shook the thoughts from your head and asked Ahsoka if she would come with you to the drug store to pick up some tums for the stomach ache.
She went off to go look at the shampoo because she needed some more and you sneaked off to grab a pregnancy test.
While you were in line you decided to update your boyfriend on the night’s conversation
“Hey babe, just fyi Ahsoka was asking about who i was seeing so i lied and said a guy from tinder, just wanted to lyk”
In no time your phone buzzed
Alright, thanks for covering, have a good night princess.
“Goodnight my love”
___________________________________
The week went by and you only had the project to finish. Most of your academic stress was subsided, but your personal stress grew by the day.
You hadn't opened the pregnancy test you got last week… you couldn’t bring yourself to.
or
Maybe it was because you hadn't had time…
oh who were you kidding? 
You were scared. 
But if you were pregnant, you should probably find out soon. Right?
Right.
You went into the bathroom and locked the door.
This was it.
The moment of truth.
***
a/n: so this ch was more of a filler to get to the next few chapters…. the plot is thickening and i hope your interest stays!! ty again for reading :)

August. (X.MH)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So much for summer love, and saying us
Cause you weren't mine to lose.
Pairing. Xu minghao x reader
Genre. Angst
Word count. ~1.5k
Warnings. Not proof read
Synopsis. He was the one that got away, the love you were still thinking about well into your late twenties.
Tumblr media
The winds howled,
The trees swayed violently as a low whistle rang through the quiet suburbs, you liked to pretend that the winds were talking to you, made you feel less.. lonely.
Having grown up with siblings and cousins constantly surrounding you, the Sombre adult life felt suffocating.
Love and care was ever-present within those cheap plastered walls of your old childhood house, it shined through the fun banters you had with your brother, or the gossip you shared with your sister.
Despite living in a well furnished house and having achieved so much, you couldn't help but feel like you lacked something, the feeling started way back in the August of 2019 when you'd parted ways with him and it'd persisted till today.
.....
You'd met xu minghao in the summer of 2018, when life was a montage, a black and white monologue.
He entered your life with a swirl of colors and a sharp take on almost everything. Never had you met a man as eccentric and captivating as minghao, and that intrigued you extremely.
You found yourself wanting his attention on you, his eyes to follow your movement and his lips to curl into a pretty smirk only because of you.
You knew yourself well, your wants and needs in a romantic partner and the minute he walked through the doors, you knew it was over for you.
Some would call it love at first sight, while you wouldn't go as far as to term it 'love' you would admit that you felt something deeply and strongly for him, unlike any man you've ever been involved with.
Spring turned into summer and just like the blooming lilies, a friendship had bloomed between you and minghao. No one could understand how you two ended up being friends despite being on different wavelengths.
He was calculated, you were straightforward.
He sat behind and observed, you dove in headfirst
He preferred to keep to himself and you never had problem extending a helping hand to anyone in need.
You couldn't pinpoint the exact moment you two became friends, it was more so a gradual, beautiful turn and twist of events that led from the both of sitting at two opposite corners of the lecture hall to saving seats for each other.
Minghao was a breath of fresh air in your otherwise hectic life. You ran, from place to place, person to person, never really settling anywhere because fear would not let you but with minghao it felt as if the world slowed down.
Gazing into his eyes lifted an unknown weight off of your shoulders, allowing them to rest easy.
You never knew just how calming his brown eyes were but an anxiety attack was all it took for you to find out.
Vision dancing and blending, hands shaking beyond control, teardrops painted your cheeks as you frantically tried to calm yourself down, it'd been a particularly rough day, and the teacher announcing that many kids had failed the accountancy exam was all it took for you to spiral. One thing led to another and you found yourself sitting head faced down on the table, begging for it to stop.
It was minghao who had found you, he approached you quite similar to how one would approach a rabid cat; gently and sincerely.
He sat on the seat beside you, placing a gentle hand on your head, "You're alright, I've got you" became his mantra for the next twenty minutes.
One hand gently caressing your hair and the other holding your hands steady, "breathe. One, two" He guided patiently.
And soon enough the fear subsided, but embarrassment took it's place.
You'd wept like a baby in front of him, snot and everything and although you knew he wouldn't judge, you couldn't help but feel self conscious.
"Hey, look at me" He whispered into your ears gently, you were going to initially deny but his lilt filled you with undescribable comfort.
He was smiling, the corners of his lips curled up as you lifted your head, "You're an ugly crier"
Little giggles left him as you hit his shoulder, blood rushing to your cheeks as you saw him throw his head back laughing. He looked beautiful in that moment. Not that he wasn't always beautiful, but something snapped within you, a moment of fluttering epiphany crossed you.
You'd fallen for him, entirely.
...
The bliss of falling for him hid the fact that he was out of reach, a forbidden fruit. And it wasn't months later that reality came crashing down on you.
He was moving back to China, to get his post graduate degree
And suddenly those fleeting moments you shared with him felt heavy, all you could offer were lingering glances and suppressed fondness in your gaze, innumerable were the times the words were on your lips threatening to leave,
Especially on occasions like these, where he looked frustratingly gorgeous.
Under the streetlight, walking beside each other with him forcing you to walk on the safer side of the sidewalk as you got ice cream together, felt oddly domestic.
A reminder of all that can be, if only you'd let go of the words.
"I'm grateful for you" He whispered, digging his hands in the pockets of his jacket, mindlessly kicking a pebble.
"I know hao"
"No." The abruptness of his answer caused to you turn towards him, "I'm-" he took a deep breath in, as if composing himself.
"You know what, never mind" He replied, speeding ahead
"Hey, no wait, come back!" You jogged upto him, "you what?" You inquired when you caught upto him,
He shook his head, "nothing, I'm just glad you're my... friend"
Had the shatter of your heart been a little less silent, you would've heard the heaviness in his words, but as they say when the heart breaks, it shatters.
"I'm glad you're my friend too.." you trailed off.
The rest of the walk was covered in silence. You knew you'd remember this scene even when you were old, the way he was so beautiful but cruel under those flickering yellow lights.
Those streetlights, clear night sky and the chilly month of August would always remind you of all that could've been.
Tumblr media
A/n. I miss minghao.
Reblog to show your appreciation!

there's just something so good about the scoops troop crouching behind a large object in a dark hallway, a few feet from dozens of Russian enemies, while Erica (the 10 year old? 11 year old?) Steve just met explains to him that she saw where they need to go, Dustin tells him that could be a hundred things they don't need actually, and then... he looks at Robin.
Erica is the only one that saw what they needed. Dustin is the only one that knows about the Other Things that may be going on (with the upside down etc). But Robin... Robin is the Other Parent right now. When he looks to her for her opinion, and she looks him right in the eye back and tells him "I'll take those odds" he just... gives. He trusts her judgment. She's been in this for like a day, he's known her for like... a couple months tops (he would have graduated late may/early june or so most likely, summer job, its not even July 4th quite yet... I'd bet he's known her for a month or less in reality). And she's not, strictly speaking, all he's got- he knows from the last time that he can rely on Dustin.
But when she tells him, he shakes his head, he looks out, and he trusts her.
And a moment later, when they're facing down that Russian in the communication suite, they've been caught, it should be a fight... When Robin starts speaking Russian, and holds out a hand, he stops and waits. He lets her try. He's ready to back her play, ready to let her lead. I mean, it doesn't work, but I I just love that they're already just on the same wavelength, following each others' leads and shit. it's just so good. I love them.

my osomatsu-san oc, Ai! :D
more details for her under the cut! :3
She's 5 ft 4 in (i hc the matsuno bros to be 5 ft 7 in, so shes 3 inches shorter than them ^^)
Her outfits come in different colors! Her shirt and socks can be either black or white, and her dress can be blue, red, purple, pink, yellow, green, or black! :) (also her shirt can be short sleeve or long sleeve, and her socks can be thigh high, knee high, or ankle high!)
Initially did not intend for her to have connections to the moon (part of her last name 'Tsuki' means moon, the bunny charm on her phone) but in the middle of making this ref i was like 'eh why not'
Dekapan is the one that created her, so hes kind of like her weird dad
She has a big crush on Ichimatsu, but to be honest she has a crush on all of the Matsuno bros hehe
She moved away from Akatsuka to go to college, but moved back to do some of her studying and assignments back home (also she was feeling very homesick)
A running gag is that her major changes each time she talks about it (in the beach episode she says her major is photography, in the super detergent episode she says her major is painting, continues ad nauseam)
Her favorite season is winter! (fall is second, spring is third, summer is fourth)
I'm mainly refering to her with she/her pronouns right now, but she also uses they/them and it/its!
Her relationships with the characters:
Osomatsu: He just loooves hanging out with her lolol whenever they all hang out in a group Osomatsu is the first to try and take a spot next to her. They're usually on the same wavelength, always able to connect with each other, but sometimes Ai can get pretty fed up with whatever antics he tries to pull. He always ends up getting nervous whenever they have one of their deep one-on-one talks.
Karamatsu: Ai loves his "painfulness", but she sometimes has her limits lol. Usually tries to help him write songs, and they like to sing together. They're both very supportive of each other, playing off of each other's energy.
Choromatsu: He tries to be so polite and formal in front of her despite knowing her since they were kids. Ai tries to get him to loosen up, and he's gotten a bit better at being himself in front of her.
Ichimatsu: They're in loooooove, they wanna kiiiiiiss~ ehehe, but besides that they both connect with the fact that they love their quiet time, and also cats. Ai is very understanding and patient, and that both comforts ichimatsu and freaks him the hell out.
Jyushimatsu: Ai cannot keep up with him, but she tries. At least he helps her stay active! They just both like making each other happy, whether that means going out to play baseball, or staying inside and doing some paper craft (with Ichimatsu's assistance)
Todomatsu: Besties :3 they message each other a lot, and Todomatsu is always lowkey asking her out to do things with him. Usually though, either just the two of them go out or Totty's older brothers end up tagging along. They mutually vent to each other sometimes just to let out some frustration, and they trust each other enough to keep secrets between them.
Totoko: Good friends, though they don't always see eye to eye. But thats mostly because of confusion on Ai's part at the antics Totoko tries to pull. She thinks its really cool that Totoko is an idol, and Totoko always insists that Ai could be one too, but they both dont want her to be one for different reasons (Totoko thinks that Ai would be more popular than her, and Ai doesn't like the idea of singing in front of big crowds)
Iyami: She thinks he's skeevy as hell, not much else to say. Always finds a way to get angry at him, even if he hasnt done anything wrong (at the moment)
Chibita: Also good friends, they both admire each other for what they do. She always leaves a big tip whenever she eats at his oden stand to show her appreciation (and to hopefully make up for the sextuplets' tab they have yet to pay)
Matsuyo and Matsuzo: They love her, don't know what their sons did to deserve such a nice friend who is also a girl (kind of). They simultaneously hope that she could maybe start dating one of their sons, and also think that she could do so much better lol Ai is always bringing them gifts and helps around the house, she almost gave them a heart attack when they came home to a squeaky clean kitchen after Ai and the sextuplets had made dinner together for them ^^
Dekapan and Dayon: Her creator and his weird maid/friend/lover? They're basically her weird estranged dads. They barely interact, except for rare moments when she needs emergency maintenance
