the silent ‘i love you’
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: jungkook x reader
genre: fluff || non-idol au
summary: sometimes you don’t need words
word count: 1.1k
tags/ warnings: fluff!!!! just very soft and nice and easy to read for tonight. intensional lowercase. sort of sleepy thoughts about love <3
where you can find my other works :D
.  . • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆.
some days jungkook simply felt like those three words weren’t enough. that the warm glow of his fragile soul couldn’t scream loud enough for your own precious existence to know how much he truly loved you.
that the whispered words of love as the both of you woke, or a gentle kiss before you both slept and met in your dreams— it simply was only the surface of how he felt. that the silent ‘i love you’ the both of you shared each day was somehow louder than the words themselves.
tender souls touching in a whimsical dance between your existence.
tangled so tight, unmoving, seeping out of you with that fluttery sort of love.
the kind of love that pulls a smile onto your lips at the mere thought of them. gentle touch enough to have your skin alight. obsessive, itching greed consuming every fibre of your being, needing them closer than humanly possible. bodies pressed together and heart beats in sync, tied together by a string of fate and life times you shared before this one.
and some days neither of you had to say ‘i love you’ but that didn’t mean the love wasn’t there. that either of you loved the other any less than you had the day before. or more than you would tomorrow. because it was ever-growing. blooming in both your chests, a flower that would live through all of eternity.
it would be him waking before you, purple and blue toothbrushes sat beside one another in the cup on the sink. or how on some days he’d pick your shower gel over his own. for no other particular reason that he loved everything about your existence, that he felt that little bit closer to you in the hours you had to part.
or remembering to tuck one of your hairties in one of his pockets, just in case.
the same hair tie you’ll find in the washing machine days later, smile tugging at your lips. because as much as you remind him to take everything out his pockets before putting them into the washing machine, there were things you could never get mad over. not when he thinks of you, even when you’re not there. a silent show of care that you never bring up because that was his secret to keep, dissolved into the back of your mind for safe keeping.
he likes to hold your hand as you cross the road, fingers interlaced. because he knows sometimes you get too caught up in your own head, unaware of the wider world around you. so he keeps you glued to the pavement before tugging you across the road. fingers squeezing yours when he knows the both of you are back to safety and you’ll let him pull you around, blind trust in him to take you where you need to go
you like picking him up from work, sat outside on a bench with a box of treats for the walk home. and he would indulge you, even if he had the car parked a block away. not caring if it would mean he had to walk the next morning. because he would never abandon those gentle moments with you, shoulders knocking as you kiss sweet cream from his lips, desperate to hear about his day just as much as you want to share yours
you liked to say ‘i love you’ through the stars. tugging him to the roof of the apartment building, legs tangled as you lay on a blanket.
you both look up at the sky.
so many questions slipping off your tongue. where you talk of fate and destiny and how you loved to believe that two souls so intricately intertwined like your own was probably crafted by something as beautiful as the stars, or another celestial being that just knew what the future held. speckles of fine stardust crafted and moulded, so, when you found a mortal body there would be no doubt he was the one for you, just as you were the one for him.
he likes sending you photos of cats. adopting the habit of carrying a small bag of treats around with him; though neither of you have a pet.
he remembers the frown that would tug on your face each time you’d come across a stray. and he’d stand there for as long as you like as your fingers pet over fluffy heads and behind furry ears. another silent vow of love to a lonely creature.
you liked to pack him lunches, hours spent in the kitchen of a nighttime experimenting, because you never wanted him to have a dull meal. and he’d sit there at the table, reading as a piano piece plays over your phone. not a word spoken between the both of you, and some nights you scuttle his way with a fork-full of something for him to try.
there was love in the tv shows you watched together, the music you shared, the space you both lived in. the closet was a muddle of clothes and accessories that he liked to steal from you just like you steal from him. racks of both your shoes line the entry way of the apartment, collection of mugs a sudden birthday tradition that will go on for as long as you’re alive.
you lived in his mind like you lived in the plants around the house. or the posters you’d put on the walls. and he lived in your mind with gaming consoles and photos of you hung up that he had taken, loved and forever cherished; thriving in the memory of you and how much he loved you then and how much he loves you now.
jungkook had tried to find a better word.
hours spent laying in bed, with your head on his chest, moon spilling into the room as he mulls over the thought of you.
how he likes how warm you are, how he likes sharing this space with you. that he’s glad he’s found you, grateful that you exist within the same time line as him.
your silly little stories of a wonderful sweet sort of love filling his own mind— because maybe you really were crafted for one another. and even if he forgets three simple words, the both of you know love lives within the sphere of your existence.
because maybe that’s what the both of you are when you’re together. maybe even in those moments you’re apart. perhaps you’re the epitome of the word love and that’s why all the silent ‘i love yous’ equal more than words ever will

pick a pile: "You are..." - Loving and encouraging words for you
take a breath and choose the photo or number that calls you the most to read some loving warm words about you. it's always nice to hear about our positive traits, right? here you can find yours and some encouraging words about your next steps/healing. keep going and take care of you! and also, be ready to let love in, you deserve it :)
don’t take the reading too seriously. only take what resonates with you and leave the rest. if you're not called by any pile, let this reading slid as it may not hold messages for you. if you're called by more than one pile, there may be messages in each of those piles. remember that is a general reading and some things may not resonate with you. energies can change and readings are based on present ones (as you read); you're always in charge of your life.

You are sunny, cheerful, bright and warm. You're also pretty welcoming and you like to hug people or generally enjoy physical displays of affection. I think people like to be around you, you basically cheer up everyone and "set the mood for the evening" (I just heard that, IDK). You have a lovely smile, everyone is in awe with it and you in general; maybe you also have a particular way to laugh? Like you maybe make a strange sound, and everyone is fond of it. They love to make you laugh honestly just to hear it. I feel like you take emotional care of others and you may feel like a sip of fresh water to many. You're extrovert (or at least seem so in specific context), confident and you know exactly what to do or say to make the day of the people you are in contact with. I think you may share smiles with people on the street and even help them if they need (eg. like if they drop something you may pick it up for them, especially for older people or you may leave your seat to them). I think you are very funny and smart, and like to joke a lot. Okay for some of you you may have changed after something happened and keep this sunny side of you a bit hidden (or maybe you occasionally fear being judged about it, or you have been), but honestly I think you only need to reconnect with it and let it flow from you. It's hurtful when some things happen but it's also something that... just happens in life, sadly (I'm not trying to invalidate your experience/pain, at all). We don't have to let those negative things change us so much, especially if we still feel that flame/desire inside. I mean... don't feel guilty for being happy, if that's what you feel. You can be happy no matter what happened. You have to be happy. Find new ways for that happiness to flow within but reach it "and let it rain" out of you. Enjoy it, let it be there and help you heal what hurt as well, if you need. You can find new happiness anytime. New reasons to be happy, too. This is also true for the few of you who tend to hide pain behind a smile, pretending it's all good. Toxic positivity won't solve it, as avoiding problems. Be more balanced (maybe you were called by pile 2 as well) and accepting of what is wrong: it doesn't mean you let it take over you (ask for help if it's too scary), it means you're not being blind to it but you're listening to it and trying to make it better (ofc you can wear a smile while you do that, you totally have to! Healing happens also with taking breaks to enjoy life and hobbies/passions...). You are such a beam of light for everyone, confront your problems (if there's any) and then keep on shining!
song: chicken noodle soup | j-hope; wake me up before you go go | wham! (I channeled the first song while doing your reading, anyway the mood for you is: jitterbug!)

pile 2
You are strong, pure and very special. You stand out, and honestly you don't even have to do much to stand out. I think it's your energy: it also has something healing for those that comes near you, something comforting. You should be more confident in yourself: maybe you also doubt about your looks or how you may be seen/perceived by others but honestly you have/are nothing less than anyone else. You are caring and have a good heart; maybe you have buildt some walls around yourself out of past traumas, and this is blocking you a little when it comes to sharing with others or creating deeper relationships. It's okay take your time to work through those walls. You have beautiful eyes, and maybe you like to look at others in the eyes too? I think you are also sincere, honest and humble, at times also to a fault: please do stand up for yourself when you need, and set your boundaries. You may also be a bit too strict on you, especially when you make some type of mistakes or something? Maybe it's the fear I mentioned in the beginning of being perceived as you're not or in a bad way, or maybe... at times you may be scared of your thoughts somehow. It's not just the anxiety you may get from them and how they may make you spiral so you tend to stop them (it's okay to do this and distract your mind when you start feeling overwhelmed, but please come back to those thoughts when you feel calmer: to avoid thinking about a problem won't help you solve it at all, it will come back stronger. And please ask for help if you need), but there's also something else. Remind yourself usually the first thought is what we learned, our instinctive first reaction to a situation (usually comes up to "protect us") while the second thought we have is the one that comes from the heart, it really expresses what we think with a calmer and more balanced mind. I mean, eg. let's say someone says they got something you always wanted and this triggers you: your first reaction could also be being envious of them and feel not enough compared to them and potentially say or think something negative/feel resentful or angry, but if you stopped and thought about it again, you may just be really happy for this person and see yourself as on a different path: your time will come too. Be more kind with yourself, more patient: you're unlearning a negative mental pattern and that's not easy, it will take time and practice and lot of patience. You are so lovely you have no idea, please try to see and show that yourself too.

You are multilayered. You have lovely rosey cheeks, people may want to squeeze them lol. You are sweet and cute, you probably are also a little shy or maybe you feel anxious in social settings and you may end up blushing a lot. You may also be stubborn occasionally (not too bad tbh) and can be determined or at least you reach good results in job/school. I think you tend to hide a part of yourself though or find it hard to deal with it/not like it. There's something you fear showing or that you don't want others to see about you, probably your pain, probably something from your past that you keep inside (also cause you can't accept/understand it -it could be abuse for someone, I hope you are safe now). Maybe you're also "scared"... of being loved/seen for real (having your "mask removed"?) or feeling vulnerable... Your energy feels younger or maybe just unexperienced in some fields or situations (maybe you also feel uncomfortable in some situations or you felt so in the past and you avoided joining them so now you feel a little behind maybe: honestly, there's nothing bad in this. You're not behind, you just did what was better for you and you still have time to make more experiences. You have all the time you need and want). I think there's indeed something about time here, it could be you are nostalgic about something that now you are missing/lacking, maybe feelings you could experience in your childhood, or you want to delete something from your past, or it could be that you fear running out of time, as mentioned, as you want to experience many things still but maybe you are scared you won't make it or you don't know where to start from. Just take a break: the moment you'll feel more grounded, it will come to you. Focus on taking care of you and also do take naps if you need and can. If it's about your childhood, eg. if people taught you have to "grow up" or have dimmed you in any way (or you had to, in order to gain their approval), remember you don't really have to forget about your inner child nor to be someone you're not. You can be an adult and still be in touch with your inner child. It's not that one thing excludes the other. And you can be yourself without any fear (it's hard to believe it but you won't be pushed away by everyone if you aren't as they wish). Maybe your inner child now really needs you to be closer to them, they need your appreciation and support, probably also after something you had to go through in your past: your inner child totally did great back then with all they had. Hug them and show them love. I think some of you may also love to work or be around children or pets as they may help you feel more in touch with your own inner child and more grounded. Again, be attentive to your needs, and meet them: maybe you were *unwillingly* taught you don't deserve that much (you had to accept crumbles in relationships) but it's not so, you deserve the moon: remember this. You're already perfect, there's nothing about you in your past or present that you need to fix, my love. Heal your fears about being yourself, receiving (love in particular) and don't run away from it, don't run away from yourself: you'll get all you wish for. Give it and yourself time. And, if you need this: it wasn't your fault, you were not responsible for that event/decision for which you feel like you were (and maybe you didn't even had to take). Whatever it was. You were trying to win the approval of someone who couldn't love you as you wished. Build boundaries around people (adults) and remember you are not responsible for them and what they do/their mistakes: you're not here to save them from anything. You have your own self and life to care about now.

I know you’re probably already getting bombarded with messages about your tattoo so please don’t feel pressured to answer quickly!
You mentioned planning a sleeve of ancient art. May I ask what you’re planning to include on it and why? I’m fascinated and, though I already loved your ice maiden before, your expertise and perspective gave me more reason to love her! I’m curious about your sleeve plans for that reason :D
I am, in fact, but this is actually a question that isn't going to be included in the pinned post I'm putting together, so I will happily answer it!
The next one I'm planning to get is this Minoan octopus on my forearm and a bit on my elbow, probably some time in October (I still need to make an appointment for it...). Another I definitely plan to directly replicate is a pair of lionesses from Chauvet cave (the two in the upper right of the image). Things I am pondering, and might find an artist to redraw in a more dynamic pose to fit between/curl around other tattoos on the sleeve while still trying to keep some of the original style include: a mushussu from the Ishtar Gate, a Set animal from Egypt, the Etruscan Chimera of Arezzo, probably something from the walls of Catalhoyuk (there's some neat leopards that I quite like), maybe an Assyrian lion because I am never not mesmerized by the way Assyrians carved lions...
Also it might not end up on the sleeve, probably gonna go somewhere else, but if I can find an artist I am positive can replicate the blown pigment pattern, I really really want a blown handprint like this. That particular photo is from Argentina, but they're found all over the world, this exact technique, basically everywhere in the world that Paleolithic human paintings remain, and I think the fact that one bit of culture was shared among apparently every human on earth at one time, for a long long time, no matter how far they wandered and how far they diverged from each other, is just... wonderful.

Series List     Part 1    Part 3 (coming soon)
Tumblr media
The day had felt… off. Not that any day had felt particularly good over the last two years. But it had all slipped into a normal routine.
Y/N spent most nights at the Sanctum, Mordo had allowed her to keep the bedroom she once shared with Stephen, and take on duties as the second master of the Sanctum as she learned more. While at first it hurt to be there, over time it was comforting. Being surrounded by his things almost felt like he’d be back. Almost.
She spent most of her days at the Illuminati headquarters, continuing her various responsibilities and assisting Professor Xavier as needed. On her rare days off she tended to find herself practicing at Kamar-Taj, spending time with her family at the X-Mansion, or teaching classes for the students there.
Kamar-Taj had proved to be useful. Beyond learning their form of eldritch magic, she found their techniques and meditation had helped her gain better control over her own powers.
But today of all days, she had time off and she just lounged around the Sanctum, in particular on a couch by the front window that faced the large statue of her late parter. Mordo was gone for the day, and something compelled her to just stay put. An odd feeling she couldn’t shake no matter what she tried to do.
Two forms had come up to the statue, obviously studying it closely though most of them remained hidden to her from that angle. It wasn’t unusual for tourists and fans alike to do so, but something about the way they stood there so long unnerved her. With Mordo out for the day, defending the Sanctum fell to her.
Quickly tugging her boots on and snatching her sling ring from the coffee table, she heads to the front door and tugs it open. Taking a step onto the porch she stands in her most intimidating stance, “Is there a reason you’ve been on our grounds for ten minutes? This is sacred grounds, take your photos and leave.”
“I know these grounds fairly well actually,” a familiar voice says, a chill running up her spine as a man steps away from the statue and into her line of sight.
“I- Stephen?” She asks breathlessly, her chest aching painfully as the nearly identical version of her dead lover stands before her. “Y-you’re dead.”
“Stephen?” he questions and gestures at the statue. “You know me then? I’m not that guy obviously, but we need your help.”
“You’re his variant,” she states flatly, trying to calm her rapidly beating heart. “From another universe.”
“Yeah, you know the Multiverse?” He asks as he takes another step toward her, a teenage girl following behind him. “Honestly that makes this a hell of a lot easier to explain and maybe you can actually help us.”
Closing her eyes for a moment, she takes a deep breath then beckons them forward, “Come in, we can talk.”
Heading back into the Sanctum without looking back, she makes a sharp turn and slumps into a chair in a sitting room off the foyer.
Stephen and the teenager follow shortly after, both looking at her curiously as they each take a seat.
Her fingers dig into the arms of the chair as her eyes flicker between the two of them.
“Are you… alright?” The teenager asks.
“I… I’m not sure, I’m sorry,” she offers her a small smile. “I wasn’t expecting the dead to rise again today so to speak. I finally get one day off from all the crazy shit, and this,” she gestures vaguely at them.
“Do you want a hug Y/N?”
Y/N’s brows rise immediately as she regards the teenager, “Do we know each other?”
“Well not this you, but I know you in other universes,” she explains. “We’ve been friends in all the universes I’ve met you in, I’m America by the way.”
“You know other variants of me?”
“A few yeah, you’ve helped me before. Well the two of you have helped me before,” she grins looking back toward Stephen.
“I have heard the two of us run into one another in many universes,” Y/N chuckles. “For better or for worse I suppose.”
“Well the last one I ran into he completely messed it up and you’d dumped him, but the one before that you two were married and had kids.”
Y/N’s smile strains at her words, eyes dropping to the tile, “I see. Well unfortunately my Stephen has passed, and I’m probably not as useful for helping people who hopped universes as him. But tell me what you need?”
“Do you know who Wanda is?” Stephen asks, leaning forward in his seat.
“Maximoff? Yes, she’s retired. And I’d prefer she stay that way, her father is enough drama to deal with.”
“Father?”
“Magneto, Erik. He causes enough issues for the X-Men, and it’s my primary job to assist and help Professor Xavier.”
“X-Men? People from that Xavier Institute?”
Y/N nods slowly and crosses her arms, “It appears you don’t know much about any of that, so we’ll leave that bit there. Just continue on.”
As the two continue on explaining their predicament and how they ended up in this universe, Y/N sighs heavily, “You aren’t safe here. You aren’t safe anywhere if she has the Darkhold.”
“What do you mean by that?” Stephen asks, his eyes searching hers.
“The Darkhold is… it has… She was right before, she was being reasonable compared to what she can do. More than likely she’s going to Dreamwalk now to get you.”
“Dreamwalk?”
“Taking over the body of one of your variants in another universe for a short time. While they’re in the body they can feel, speak, and act as if they were actually there. It’s incredibly dangerous, and it causes incursions. She could destroy both yours and our universe with it.”
“And exactly that has happened before,” a forth voice says, accompanied by the sound of footsteps entering the room. Mordo appears looking grim and carrying a tray of tea. “I saw we had guests, and brought tea.”
“Mordo, I didn’t know you were home,” Y/N says scrambling to her feet to grab the tray from him and gives him a nervous smile.
“I wasn’t meant to be, I finished early. You should have called me Y/N,” he scolds and pulls the tray from her to hand each of them a cup.
“Nothing I can’t handle.”
“There is a variant of Strange sitting in our foyer, and we have a witch preparing to Dreamwalk into our universe. You shouldn’t be handling this alone,” he says firmly before pressing a cup into her hands and gently pushing her back into her seat.
Taking a seat himself, he turns to their guests with a smile, “I apologize for the tense entry, the Multiverse is a delicate subject, and I try to keep her out of that level of danger. Your other self demanded it, my brother.”
Stephen looks at him cautiously, “My other self demanded you keep her safe, so you do?”
“Of course, she’s trouble but he was quite fond of her. We all are,” he chuckles as Y/N rolls her eyes.
“So you’re the master of this Sanctum here?”
“Sorcerer Supreme, after our Strange passed.”
Taking another sip of her tea, Y/N starts to feel a buzzing in her head. Looking across at Stephen she notices his face starting to droop and America’s eyes fighting to stay open next to him. Looking down at the tea, she suddenly notices the flecks of green in it, “MOR-!” She tries to shout before she collapses from her chair to the ground as she hears people scuffling around her.
-
“Christine fucking let them out!” Y/N snarls as she walks into the lab smoothing her robes. “They’ve done nothing wrong and you know it.”
“Y/N I know you’re… heavily invested. But Doctor Strange is dangerous.”
A low growls emits from her as she grits her teeth and glances back at the sorcerer staring through the glass at her, “No. He isn’t. This one hasn’t even done anything. He’s trying to save a fucking child and he’s still dangerous?”
“They’re all dangerous Y/N, you know that. You need to calm down or I will call for Professor Xavier,” Christine threatens as she takes a step closer.
“Why? Am I dangerous too? Go ahead and say it, I’ve been told enough times that the freak mutant is dangerous,” she seethes. “If it’s what you’re saying, say it, to my face this time.”
“Y/N?”
The voice calling her name immediately turns her attention towards the glass and she steps away from Christine to face him.
“Let’s not hurt anybody, I just want to get out of here and find a way to save the kid. Wanda will come here, and she’s going to kill all of us to get to her,” he says as calmly as he can, his voice bringing her in closer until she stands right in front of his glass prison.
“I-I’m sorry,” she mutters. “I’m taking this seriously. I want to get you out of here.”
“You should probably not be in here,” Christine says after a moment, flinching slightly at the glare directed her way. “You’re easily influenced by him.”
“Yeah well, this one likes you better anyway,” she mutters, crossing her arms tightly across her body. “Don’t even think he knows me.”
“The Doctor Strange of this universe… he dated both of you?” Stephen asks.
“Dated is a strong word for our back and forth for years, a long time ago,” Christine answers before gesturing at Y/N. “She can tell you more than that.”
“We’d been together six years when you died,” Y/N admits quietly, looking down at the ground. “We lived together at the Sanctum. Talked about getting married and having kids and… shit it doesn’t matter.” She roughly wipes at her eyes as she feels tears forming.
“I’m sorry,” he replies gently, kneeling down to be closer to her as she turns to look at him.”He sounds like he had an easier time talking about those things than I do.”
Y/N snorts at that, stifling a laugh, “Took him a long time to get to that. Hell he spent an entire year making eyes at me and vehemently denying it instead of making any kind of move. But he got there.”
She reaches down to her robes and grabs her sling ring, holding up the inscription to the glass for him to see, “This sort of thing was more his style than speaking about it.”
Swallowing hard as he reads the inscription, he looks back to the woman holding it. While earlier she must have been holding back, she now exudes magical energy. “So you’re a Sorcerer and a mutant? What are your powers?”
“You and Mordo have taught me some eldritch. But my power primarily lies in a mixture of psychic magical powers that tends to make most people nervous when I first explain them,” she says with a small grin.
“Can I see an example? Doesn’t look like I’m going anywhere anytime soon.”
She looks at him for a moment before nodding, “Keep calm though. I don’t want you going into shock. Some do the first time.”
“Y/N is this really appropriate?” Christine huffs from her desk. “He’s currently a prisoner.”
“I’m not letting him out, and you’ve all insisted he has to sit around until the full panel is ready to see him. I don’t see why not.”
Stephen looks up to Christine who sighs in response, then back down at Y/N, “So you’re going to shock me or something?”
“Oh nothing like that, nothing painful. Just surprises some people. Though I’d imagine you’ve used an astral form so you should be fine.”
“What does my astral-”
Before he can finish the sentence he feels a ringing in his head, forcing him to close his eyes tightly as it gets louder.
Once it finally ceases, he opens his eyes to see himself in a slightly different version of his bedroom at the Sanctum, Y/N sits on the bed studying him closely.
“Think what you want to say, don’t say it out loud. If you speak it, everyone around our bodies will hear. If you think, only I will hear.”
“Where are we?” He asks, also taking a seat on the edge of the bed. “I mean this is my bedroom, but it’s not is it?”
“It’s not,” she confirms, flopping back on the mattress with a sigh. “This is my main power I suppose. We’ve called it creating pocket psychic dimensions. Allows us to talk in private and or across long distances. Also amplifies my other abilities and lets me control most things here since I created it.”
“Is it always in here?”
“No, it’s my comfort place, and I assumed if it looks anything like yours then it would be comforting to you. I could put us nearly anywhere. I’ve used it to replicate a battlefield and trick people before, fairly useful.”
“Fascinating,” he mumbles, looking around the room before looking back down at her. “You’re fascinating.”
Y/N’s eyes widen and she turns her head away in embarrassment, “Apologies. You look and sound so much like him. I still… react.”
Stephen nods understandingly and reaches out to pat her head gently, “How long has he been gone?”
“Two years,” she all but whispers. “Two very long years.”
“You really loved him,” he says, a sad smile on his face.
“Do we know each other in your universe? You didn’t seem to recognize me earlier so I assumed not.”
“We don’t,” he confirms, letting her take his hand in hers to examine his scars. “Few know about the Xavier school at all, I’ve only heard in passing, they keep to themselves. Mutants either aren’t that prevalent or hide well.”
“I see. Makes me wonder if I’m a mutant at all there. Assumed I was in all universes. Comforting to know maybe in one I was normal.”
“You don’t want to be? I don’t know the full extent of your powers, but pocket psychic dimensions sounds rather powerful. And you’ve done all this and seem hardly bothered by maintaining it.”
“In this universe we’re hated and hunted. Not openly, they’re supposed to leave us alone now. There’s been laws passed that they aren’t just allowed to kill us. But any mutant determined to be dangerous can be captured. Meaning any mutant they feel like. They have collars that dampen our powers and shock us. Throw us in cells we can’t break free from, test all manner of shit on us in the name of ‘science.’ Most people are disgusted by us or just avoid us in general. Hell, Stephen fired at least five scientists from the labs for making nasty comments about me or Charles. You just get used to being detested after it’s been that way your entire life, but… you sorta hope for more.”
“That’s… fucking awful,” he responds with a long blink, trying to process it all. “You’ve been…?”
She shifts in the bed to pull down the collar of her robes to reveal the scars on her neck,“Mhm. I was dangerous. I am wildly dangerous according to many people.” Her eyes drift shut at the words.
“Apparently they think I am as well,” he comments, finding himself leaning forward to brush his fingertips across her scars with his free hand. “Yet you don’t?”
“I think we both have the ability to be insanely dangerous,” she answers, her eyes flickering open for a moment to meet his. “If you’re anywhere near the level of power my Stephen had, we could level a small country and make it back in time for lunch. The point being we wouldn’t do that.”
“You trust me,” he states simply, enjoying the smile that curls on her lips.
“You were one of the first non-mutant people to trust me. Or he was. However you want to say it,” she admits. “Looked at me like I wasn’t some freak. Called my powers fascinating, wonderful, unique. Helped me learn to better control them. Became my best friend then the man I loved. You believed in me, and I’ll always believe in Doctor Strange, even if you aren’t the exact man I knew. Your mind and energy feel like him. So yes. I trust you.”
“I don’t know you… but I feel as if I do,” he replies, letting his hand drift to her shoulder. “I think I had dreams of you.”
“That would make sense, dreaming of your multiversal self. Me and him were together often.”
Letting himself drop back on the bed beside her, he stares up at the familiar canopy, “I really have to save this kid.”
“I know,” she responds, her fingers tracing over his scars. “You’re terrified. Wanda nearly beat you once and you know she’ll be back soon.”
“You got all of that out of what I’ve said?” He asks curiously.
“No, when we do this your mind is shared with me. I try to block out most things that aren’t direct words toward myself. But I can feel your fear.”
“That’s nice to be told after the fact, I could have been thinking about anything,” he teases.
“Like I said, I try to ignore it. Unless you’d been screaming something in your mind most would pass by when I’m not actively trying. At least now. Wasn’t always the case before.”
“I have a random question, but I’m not sure if I’m going to get an angry answer.”
“Is that you inviting me to pull it out of your head?”
“Why is it so tense between you and Christine?”
Her hand stills on his for a moment as she flashes him a look, “I’m not sure about your universe, but here generally you don’t get along with your partner’s ex that swimmingly. Usually.”
“Just that?”
“I just… she… advised him from getting close to me.”
“Because they were still close?”
“Not exactly. I overheard it, she said it’s because of me. That she thinks I’m a good person, but that I’m too dangerous and have unstable powers that I don’t even fully understand. That getting close to me was inviting something bad to happen to him. Then she turns around and starts calling all Doctor Strange’s dangerous. She doesn’t trust me, and once she stopped trusting you, you were dangerous. It’s nothing to do with ability and all to do with trust. She just gets under my skin because of it. I don’t think she’s a bad person, and she’s working to keep this universe safe, I just personally have a hard time getting along with her.”
Stephen hums in response, taking in the moment around him. One of the most powerful beings he’d come into contact with was practically breathing down his neck. He’s in a different universe. He’s been trapped in a cell to be brought before an unknown panel to judge his fate.
Yet here he lays in a replica of his bedroom in some temporary pocket dimension, on the bed with the partner of a deceased variant of himself, just idly lounging and enjoying her touch as if they’d done it a hundred times. As if all hell wasn’t about to rain upon them.
“I like this,” he admits after a moment. “It’s… peaceful.”
“Me too,” she responds, releasing his hand and rolling onto her side to look at him. “I’ve only used this for business since my Stephen died. Forgot how relaxing it is when you’re comfortable. Your mind and energy are very relaxing, always have been.”
“Not sure how, I don’t feel very relaxed that often.”
“Yet you nearly instantly relaxed the minute you opened your eyes in here.”
“Do you think your power works across universes?”
“I’m not sure. Maybe? Why?” She slowly lays her hand on his chest over his heart, relaxing as he nods at the gesture.
“If we all survive this, make it home, and it does; invite me to visit sometimes alright? I could use the break.”
“Deal, I could get used to having you around,” she says softly as her fingertips stroke his chest and send a shiver up his spine.
“Now that… that sounds far more dangerous than anything else I’ve heard recently,” he jokes and leans into her as she presses a kiss to his temple.
“Mhm. Possibly. You have always been my weak spot Stephen. I trust you, and I’ll continue to trust you until you give me a reason not to.”
“I won’t,” he mutters, clearing his throat as he looks down in her eyes with his heart beating rapidly below her palm.
Giving him a sharp smile, she leans into him, “Now, how about we go save the Multiverse wizard of mine?”
Blinking his eyes back open, Stephen finds himself back in the glass prison with several pairs of eyes on him, and the sound of familiar voices arguing.
“That was incredibly reckless Y/N!” Mordo snaps at her in annoyance. “We have no way of knowing if the cuffs work in those dimensions, he could have killed you.”
Y/N shrugs and gives Stephen a smirk, “He’s done nothing to show he would want to hurt me. Besides, it’s insulting you think I’d just let someone kill me in my own domain so easily. You’d have at least known there was a battle going on. Not just our bodies sitting here silently. Also don’t think I’ve just forgotten that little drugging incident Mordo! ”
Mordo pinches the bridge of his nose, “I promised him I would protect you, but you make it very difficult at times Y/N. I knew you weren’t going to cooperate so I had to gave you the tea as well. You were and are safe.”
“I’m not a child, and I don’t need constant supervision.”
“I don’t give you constant supervision, our Strange warned us of his variants showing up. He thought they would be dangerous. Then one does and you immediately attach yourself to his side, take him into a space where I can’t protect you, and become obstinate!” Mordo growls back at her.
“I’m not an idiot, I’m being careful. I didn’t immediately trust him. I can better read people in my dimension, and everything he says is true. He’s not here to do anything nefarious, he doesn’t want to hurt anyone. He didn’t even come here on purpose.”
“You’re going to get yourself killed and his ghost is going to torment me until the end of time,” he mutters angrily.
“Nah. Don’t worry, if I die I’ll handle him myself,” she grins with the quick tilt of her head. “I can be quite convincing with him.”
“That you are,” Mordo sighs and calls several bots to enter the room. “Strange you will come with me now to face judgement by the Illuminati.”
The glass slowly opens and Stephen descends the steps to be instantly surrounded by the bots, Y/N giving him a reassuring smile.
“I’m coming along,” Y/N insists as Mordo tries to stop her.
“Y/N please just listen. I think it’s best you stay out of this one,” he says gently. “Your mind is trying to deal with his reappearance, you’re going to be hurt more if you go. And I don’t mean physically.”
“It’s my job Mordo, drop it,” she responds, stepping ahead of Stephen and beckoning the bots to follow.
As they enter the room, all eyes seem to focus on the pair of them. A look of sadness seemingly directed to Y/N.
“Do you think this is a good idea?” Reed Richards asks firmly.
“Well no, I think this entire thing is ridiculous actually,” she responds with a smirk. “Let’s just let him go so he can save the kid and go on with our lives.”
Richards sighs and shakes his head, “You know that I meant your involvement in these proceedings.”
“She’s an Illuminati member as well Reed,” Xavier says as he enters the room. “This is where she’s meant to be.” He gestures for her to come stand beside him.
“Wait you’re part of this panel?” Stephen asks as she walks away to take her place beside Charles.
“Has she not fully introduced herself Stephen?” Charles chuckles and gestures to Y/N. “Y/N Y/L/N, master of psychic magic and pocket dimension creation. Apprentice and successor to Charles Xavier on the Illuminati board of maintaining universal peace. Head of security division for the Illuminati. Recent master of the mystic arts pledged to Kamar Taj and second master of the New York Sanctum. Part time teacher at the Xavier Institute. And partner of the late Sorcerer Supreme, one Stephen Strange.”
Y/N takes an awkward bow, obviously flustered, “You build me up far more than I deserve Charles.”
“You’re an impressive woman, you have your titles because you earned them. And he deserves to know who’s going to be fighting so staunchly for him.”
“She is impressive, exceedingly so,” Stephen calls out, sending a smile her way.
“Don’t flirt with her,” Captain Carter snaps at him, his gaze moving to her. “We’re not going to let you prey on her loss.”
“He’s not preying on my loss,” Y/N says, giving the Captain a hard stare. “You know I’m going to stand on his side because I still think the wrong decision was made last time. And as I’ve told Doctor Palmer, this Stephen has done nothing wrong.”
“I’d argue him being here is wrong,” Richards states, earning himself a glare as well.
“I don’t know what you are all talking about, and frankly I don’t care. The Scarlet Witch is on her way here to take that kid’s powers. If she gets her powers, she could destroy the Multiverse. I’m not the threat here,” Stephen says out to the room, taking a step forward. “So just get these cuffs off me, give me my kid back, and let us get on our way.”
“We can handle your witch, it’s you we’re concerned about Doctor Strange,” Richards responds leaning forward.
“No we cant,” Y/N interrupts. “She’s too powerful. She has the Darkhold and she tore through their Kamar-Taj forces like they were children.”
“And you know this how?” Captain Marvel asks, glancing at her.
“I saw it. I took him in a psychic room. He was terrified when thinking about it. Caught glimpses of the wreckage. The two of them barely escaped with their lives.”
Mordo sighs heavily from his seat, “Y/N… you’re getting too attached. We know you carry guilt, but defending this man won’t set back time.”
“Ok what the hell happened to other me?” Stephen finally asks. “Your statue said he died a hero yet all I’ve heard is you all going on about guilt and decisions and danger.”
“Our Doctor Strange turned to the Darkhold seeking answers to defeat Thanos,” Xavier responds. “He didn’t find it. But he did find himself lost to it. By the time he realized what he was doing, he’d caused an incursion that killed everyone in a universe. He turned himself into us. Helped us find another way to defeat Thanos with the Book of Vishanti, then accepted the punishment.”
“You can’t be serious…”
Xavier fixed him with a stare and he feels pressure growing on his brain until a scene plays before his eyes.
Y/N and his variant on the ground on their knees embracing in the ruins of Titan. Tears running down her eyes as he thanks her and she adjusts her grip on him.
Their lips lock and pieces of him seem to disintegrate into the air as their lips move on one another until only Y/N remains.
Her form falling to her hands and screaming, a wave of power destroying the ruins around her as she sobs.
As the vision fades away, his eyes flicker to Y/N who now refuses to look him in the eye, “You… killed me?”
“You insisted. That you had to go, that you couldn’t trust yourself. I fought and fought and fought. You- he… said he wanted to die in my arms, by me. I- I gave him what he asked for. If I didn’t… he’d have found another way,” she explains as her voice cracks and tears well at the corners of her eyes.
“So you all think she’s trying to help me because she feels guilty about having to kill other me?” Stephen asks, receiving mostly silent nods in response.
“Why do I need any other reason than he’s fucking done NOTHING wrong?” Y/N exclaims, stomping her foot in annoyance as she steps out in front of the other members. “I didn’t agree with the other judgement, but at least he’d done something. Now you sit here wanting to convict someone who has done literally nothing, for past mistakes of a different man. I’m fighting for him, the man in front of me, not a ghost like you’re trying to damn him for.”
“We cannot trust him!” Mordo shouts back taking his own step toward Y/N. “Think with your head dammit Y/N! Anything that involves him makes you just lose all sense.”
Y/N’s eyes widen for a moment before narrowing at him and taking a step towards the Sorcerer Supreme with magical energy starting to crackle around her, “I’m not letting you all kill another Stephen. I know I made a promise to him, but I won’t hesitate Mordo. You’ve gotten on my last nerve today.”
“Y/N’s compassion is not a weakness,” Charles states trying to diffuse the situation between the two magic users. “Having a heart and wanting to see the best in people is not a negative. Just because someone stumbles and loses their way, doesn’t mean they’re lost forever.”
Taking a step back from Mordo, Y/N lets her magic drop and looks to the floor, “Excuse my behavior Professor.”
Mordo sighs and sits back in his seat, “I don’t wish to fight with you Y/N, I apologize.”
“So what are we going to-” Captain Carter begins to say before alarms cut her off.
“The building’s been breeched,” Richards states, quickly getting to his feet.
“No shit genius,” Strange mumbles in annoyance, his eyes drifting back to Y/N who looks at him worriedly.
“Mordo you stay here and watch him, the rest of us will handle this,” he continues heading toward the exit.
“More like get yourselves killed!” Stephen yells after him. “You can’t fight her. Her power is beyond what you’ve ever faced, I can assure you that.”
Richards stops for a moment and glances back for a moment in consideration, “Y/N, this sounds like we’re going to need you up front.”
“You can’t be serious!” Stephen seethes, stepping closer to the platform. “If you send her out there she’s going to get killed.”
“Reed, Y/N will go with me. She’s not one of your frontline fighters, that’s not where our powers are needed,” Xavier states simply, causing the man to frown. “We will meet you out there. Go.”
They all race out the door until just Xavier, Mordo, Y/N, and Stephen remain.
“Doctor Strange, you need to get out of here, protect America Chavez, and get to the Book of Vishanti,” Xavier quickly says before turning his chair toward Mordo.
“I- you can’t be serious Charles! We can’t trust this man!”
Seeing the two begin to argue, Y/N slips off the platform silently and grabs Stephen by the cuffs on his wrist, a blue haze surrounds them and they disintegrate into dust at their feet, “Get to America and find Christine, she knows where the tunnel to the book is. We’ll hold him back. Just hurry.”
“Don’t you know where it is? Just come with me,” he whispers urgently, gripping her hands in his.
“We’re about thirty seconds from Mordo realizing I’ve released you. Charles can only distract him so long, my turn to distract him by getting my ass kicked and dragged across the tile is about to come up. Now go,” she hisses back, pressing a kiss to his cheek then shoving him toward the door.
Racing toward the exit, he hears a shout from Mordo quickly followed by the sound of combat. Trying to shake the worry for her from his thoughts, he heads down the first hall that opens up to him. First, find America. Second, find The Book of Vishanti. Third, find out if Y/N made it out of this. One thing at a time.

HI if you need anymore gareth requests perv!gareth is always infiltrating my mind!!!:!:! (obviously NSFW)
-constantly stealing your panties, most of the time he can’t even wait till he’s home and has to jerk off in his car with them (he keeps them in a box under his bed and is so nervous everytime you come over that you’ll find them.)
-LOVES taking photos of you, you always assumed it was innocent but didn’t realize the reason he kept taking more was because he ruined the old ones…
-you stole one of his flannels once and wore it to school thinking it’d annoy him, he had to jerk off in the bathroom twice that day and the entire time he just kept thinking about fucking you in it. leave hickies all over you so everyone knew how dirty you were for him.
-whenever he sleeps over he can barely control himself, in your sleep you always seem to roll over and spoon yourself onto him and he becomes a mess beneath you. you could just be laying your head on his chest, but the smell of your perfume and the way you look so relaxed would send him overboard. he’d be a flushed horny mess, stroking your hair lightly while stroking himself.
-always hced that he’d blush super easy, and just the sight of you bending over to pick something up would leave him bright red.
(i’m sorry this is more of a rant then a request, i get super excited ab this stuff n just love him sm!!😭)
THANK YOU! I am so glad you also like perv!gareth, I've been thinking about doing some HC's for him ahhh. I LOVE him, and these are all so spot on. If you don't mind I have some thoughts about how the reader would be JUST AS PERVY lol. Like they start to catch on that he's like this but they don't say anything because they want to see how long they can make him squirm before he confesses.
Not too long ago I had this fem!reader blurb idea so here you go:
Gareth likes to keep one particular photo of you in your cheer/dance uniform above his bed. It's not necessarily for JUST pervy activities, sometimes he just likes to lay there and look at you. It's taped up, underneath a band poster so that no one else knows it there. One day you go into his room without him to grab something you left and the pin holding up one corner of the poster has fallen out, so you can kind of see under the poster. You decided to snoop and realize it's a picture of you, so instead of saying anything you pin it back up. Later in your own room, you take a polaroid of yourself in the same position of the photo - except you're wearing just your cheer skirt and bra. Next time you're over at his house you swap out the photos under the poster and don't say a word. The next time he see's you, he keeps turning red and getting all flustered. You know he won't ask about the picture but he also knows you know about it because who else would?! Eventually, he lets you know he likes you, and you talk about it, but right now - you two get to share your pervy little secret ahhh
After the flannel incident, the reader keeps stealing his clothes, his flannels, or his hoodie. Maybe you ask if you can borrow some and just "forget" to give them back so you can keep wearing them at school. It starts with just shirts but then you steal a pair of PJ pants and wear them without underwear. There are also a few times where you have to change at his house because you messed up your clothes and have to wash them, so you walk out in a pair of his boxers and his T-shirt. It drives him CRAZY.
When he sleeps over you intentionally wear cut-up shirts that show off your body or short shorts.
If yall are neighbors, your windows would line up like in the movies. You start leaving your window open all the time, waiting to change until you know he's in his room or stretching in front of the window. Wearing super exposing stuff to bed, or maybe just sleeping naked but leaving the lights off so no one can really see you except the person who knows how to look. He tells himself it's in poor taste to look but he can't help himself, can't get the idea out of his head of you sleeping naked so closely.
You've known Gareth for a long time, so you also know what makes him horny lol. That means you wear thigh-high socks or fishnets when you're around him. You're a waitress, and he comes in to see you at work so you always make sure to drop something near his table or where he's standing so you can bend over and let him see you do it. We all know he's got an oral fixation lmao so imagine always sucking on a lollipop around him or asking to get ice cream. He always lets his melt too fast so you "catch" it and lick it off his hand. You always ask him to check if your lipstick is smudged off and hold your face really close so he can check.
You're always asking him to grab your keys out of your back pocket because your hands are full, ignoring the way he uses it as an excuse to feel your butt. When you're in crowded places together, you always stand in front. There have been several times at concerts where you get shoved back into him and just stay there. If seating options are limited in car rides then you ALWAYS make sure you end up sitting on his lap.
This is innocent on your end, but you always play with his hands. You don't realize it's doing anything, you just want to be close to him, but he thinks about it for hours after. He likes to imagine the feeling of your soft hands EVERYWHERE.
You kind of Pavlov dog him, conditioning him to associate certain smells with things. You know he jerks off with lotion in his room so you leave one of your more fragrant kinds like a strawberry-scented one. He uses it for a few weeks, not thinking about it until you wear the same scent when you're hanging out and he can't stop thinking about you giving him a handie. This happens frequently whenever you wear the same scent.
He puts scary movies on during movie night so you'll hide in his arms when you get scared. It's cliche but it works, he also likes to hear you beg when you don't want to watch one that night.
The only thing better than perv!gareth is boyfriend perv!gareth, who likes to whisper the vilest, obscene things in your ear to make you blush. He's unprepared when you do it back, or worse when it's just the two of you and you re-enact something he says. Once he jokingly called himself daddy and later that night you walked out in just your underwear and said, "Somebody missed daddy today." Nearly takes him out.
Modern!Gareth would get a text every day about what underwear you're wearing underneath your clothes, he knows if he doesn't get one, you aren't wearing any.

Like Minds: Supernatural Elements AU
Heavily inspired by @currentlyonstandbi and @laurelwen tags, featuring Nigel playing the violin (although I got almost completely derailed from the original idea)
Check the tags for content warnings!
Tumblr media
Alex keeps hearing the sound of a violin in a particularly empty hallway of his school. No one else seems to have noticed it aside from him. One day he goes there after class and he meets a pale thin boy playing the violin. He asks him what's his name and what is he doing there so late and all alone. He never gets a straight answer from him, the boy talks in riddles. He's always wearing an old version of the school's uniform, one Alex has only seen in pictures and for some reason he keeps calling him "Jack" even after he insists that his name is Alex.
He asks around and no one knows the boy, he doesn't seem to have any friends either. Alex keeps going there almost every night all by himself, sometimes the boy plays the violin for him, he knows all the classics and he asks Alex for his favorites too. Alex tries to go there with someone else, brings Eric with him one afternoon and for the first time his new friend isn't there to meet him. Eric makes fun of him for it and tells him to stop talking to his stupid imaginary boyfriend.
Eric dies in a weird accident not long after that.
Alex finally manages to get the name out of his friend, he says his name is Nigel, but that he must not tell anyone, it's a secret. Nigel talks a lot about secrets, he doesn't like people knowing that him and "Jack" are seeing each other. Alex is a little afraid of him, to be honest, but he never stops visiting and he doesn't try to make Nigel call him anything other than "Jack", either, not any more.
One day Alex gets in trouble, as he often does these days and he gets tasked with going through some of the school's old files as a punishment, they want to have all the records in digital format. He's been surveying through tons of paper and dust for hours when he finds an old yearbook that draws his attention. In there he sees Nigel's picture along with the last name "Colbie". In the cover says it's from the year 1975.
He freaks out, drops the yearbook but he needs to KNOW. So he picks it up again and goes through the whole thing until he sees a particular page solely dedicated to Nigel. It's a tribute, he realizes, the entire page is filed with signs from students and teachers, under Nigel's photo it has a passage from the bible and in cursive letters the sentence "in loving memory of Nigel Colbie".
He doesn't go visit Nigel that afternoon, he's too freaked out and he knows he won't give him the answers he needs. Instead he asked for computer hours and goes through the web. He types "Nigel Colbie 1975" and some other combinations including the name of the school. What he finds chills him to the bone.
"Almost three decades after the tragedy: the 17 year old student who took his own life after allegedly committing a passionate crime" reads the headline. Alex clicks on it and starts reading. There he finds that in the spring of 1975, the boy named Nigel Colbie allegedly murdered the student he shared a room with and a few hours later committed suicide in one of the hallways in the east wing of the building, using the same shotgun with which he had shot the boy. Along with his body they had found his violin and a king of hearts card with a sentence written on it "We will be united". It was presumed that Nigel and the boy had been romantically involved, but nothing had ever been confirmed.
Alex was confused to say the least. And he wondered who the other boy was, since he hadn't seen any pictures of him in the yearbook or any memorial in his name, which he considered to be odd, given that he had also been a student there. He scrolled down the article until he found the information for the other boy.
His name was Jack.
And in his picture he looks just like Alex.

More kids for the au I am making!! this time a girl named Hazel!
more of her under the cut:
Hazel is a very peppy girl, loves the color pink, romance stories and helping those around her, she is from the Galar region
She gets along with all the other kids but she is like a “big sister” to Rosie
Before falling in Hisui she was a huge fan of the Gigantamax and Dynamax Pokémon, but because of memory loss, she doesn't remember why she knows about these GIGANTIC Pokémons that are not Alphas but bigger than those. Because of that she aways share that info to those she knows mighty find it important
She and Melli get along pretty well, the reason is she admires Melli quite a lot and in some way he reminder him to the things she was able to do with her brother (even tho she doesn't remember her brother’s name and he has a complete different personality from Melli, she remember the things she used to do with him) 
Melli actually cares deeply for her but he just doesn't want people to know that the Great Melli cares for someone specially a kid!! but Hazel actually knows about it (which she loves and find it cute), she keeps it as a secret tho to “protect” the Great Melli’s “reputation”
She loves taking photos with her friends so when she asked Melli to get one and he told her that getting a picture with him will grant her protections she was way more excited about it. 
She took the photo with him, Rosie and Skuntank. Even if it was real or not to what Melli told her is her favorite picture since is with both of her best friends
She has a full album of photos of her and her friends, is her most precious item right now
Hazel loves cute Pokemon but she believes that any Pokemon can be cute so is a very “weird” concept to what is actually cute to her, since she believes that any Pokemon can be pretty, strong and cute
Because she is from Galar and remember cooking curry with her brother a lot in the wild she is always trying to cook it to everyone, she has even been trying to teach Beni how to do it
She tells Beni that other important step is to add a secret ingredient, to which Beni ask “what kind of secret ingredient?” for Beni surprise the secret ingredient can be anything he can imagine, from sweet, to cream, to potato mochi! it can be anything!! but most importantly always put love while making the curry 
Hazel and Melli spend a lot of time together when she is not doing surveys corps job, because of that Melli has given her a “special mission” to be his “assistant” since Melli knows a particular couple has feeling for each other (Warden Ingo and Sugi) and the Great Melli needs to help them, he always is giving Hazel crazy ideas how to set them up in “romantic situations” (he actually does it to entertain himself but he admires Hazel determination and the excitement she has for the tiny lil tasks he gives her)  
She has a lot of conflict when she get anxious about if she will be able to go back and remember what she lost, her family and all that, but at the same time she doesn't want to leave Hisui because she doesn't want to leave Melli behind and the new friends she has meet there. 
She is also afraid that once she returns home none of the other fallen kids she has made friends with can keep as close as they are now (they assure her that no matter where they are or the distance they will be always be together and friends)
She is pretty good at making super effective Potion and healing items because of that she has taken the responsibility to make a lot for everyone so no one gets injured in the wild
Since Hazel love romantic things a lot, she considers herself “an expert” she knows who has feeling for who

How "ToDo Mate" Changed My Life
What is ToDo Mate?
ToDo Mate is a site where users may view everyone's to-do list for the day. It's a simple platform for managing and organizing your plans, and it syncs across all of your devices as long as you're logged in to your account.
ToDo Mate is a platform that also enables you to add photos and keep journals for your thoughts. It's an easy-to-use tool that can help you stay organized and remind you of your tasks.
Tumblr media
How did it Change my life?
1. Simple Design
Most to-do list apps don't last long for me since I find other designs difficult on my eyes and tiresome to input my list for that particular week or month. But when navigating with Todo Mate, it is straightforward, since information is presented in a simple and concise manner without using excessive detail. With Todo Mate, I may repeat a specified list of items under "Goals" and "Routines" by pressing the addition button.

Tumblr media
2. It Syncs on Every Device I Own
It syncs all of my data and lists in other devices, whether they are from my phone, laptop, tablet, or other devices. Unlike the majority of previous apps, I tried, it was challenging to get used to and comprehend how the application or each button functioned. 
3. It Serves as a Habit tracker
Since you may repeat a specified set of items using the "Routine" option, ToDo Mate can function as a routine tracker. I make an effort every day to exercise, do tasks, or develop a habit, such as writing, drawing, or eating meals on time.
It is quite helpful, especially when I forget to eat. You may easily schedule a time in ToDo Mate to complete a certain task on your list. To be reminded that I need to eat in roughly 5–10 more minutes, I like to set it a little earlier so that I receive that early reminder on my phone. So far, I've been eating on time, which is a good thing because I frequently forget to eat.
4. Customizing
To Do Mate allows you to personalize how the colors are presented when you complete your work, as shown in the image below. I used several shades of green, but you may use any color you like based on the colors you display on your "Goals."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(An additional example below of a color scheme from a friend, who enjoys a vibrant palette)
Tumblr media
You may also change the names of your "Goals." The "Goals" act as a title for your list, dividing it into sections. 
This has been a favorite of mine since it allows me to divide my School To Do List, Leisure To Do List, and Chores To Do List.
Tumblr media
5. Seeing Other People’s List
Viewing other people's lists on this app is one of my favorite features. When I see other people finish their tasks, it helps me be more productive for some reason w whether it comes from a friend or a random user I follow on the app. It's good to see people accomplish something on their list for that day because it motivates me to do the same.
People can view your list as well, but you can set each of your Goals to private if you simply want to keep everything hidden from the public. Simply set each goal to private by selecting the "privacy" option.
Tumblr media
If you want to further learn how to use to do mate, heres an indepth way on how to use todo mate : a thread by @csssrae
dont forget to like and share it. Its very useful especially for new users.
________________
First and foremost, this is not sponsored. I just wanted to express how much I like this software. I feel it has benefited me during my time in university and my life right now.  Despite all I've been going through, it makes my life feel a bit more manageable. Most of what I stated may be considered very opinionated. However, this software has fulfilled its purpose for me. I've been using this app for 5 months and, strangely, I haven't grown tired of it. I'll certainly keep you updated if Todo mate remains my personal favorite in the future. I may as well try to share more on programs that I personally like using or explore other kinds of productivity software. In the future, I might also talk about my personal life, hobbies, interests, a few thoughts, and sports. But that depends on whether I can accomplish it.
I appreciate you finishing the article. Thank you very much!

A Flicker of Lost Love Part II - Holding onto the Past
*Set in AU where Hotchniss had a brief relationship when he worked for Ambassador Prentiss. This chapter takes place in 3x02 after Emily quits to save Aaron's job.*
She hadn't thought about their past together in months. Not wanting to do any injustice to the woman he chose to be his wife. Emily promised herself she couldn't ever consider thinking about him as she had before. She needed to do her job without drama and distraction.
The job that had been her dream for longer than she cared to admit. Knowing this time the morality of her work wasn't going to be a problem. Because she knew clear cut who the good guys were in these scenarios.
It was a huge adjustment moving, but she couldn't turn down the opportunity when it presented itself to her. It had felt like fate, coming to her at the perfect time, when she felt stuck and lost and needed a change. And it brought her back to him, but she didn't like to ruminate on that path of thoughts. It was too slippery of a steep slope to even consider transversing. Plus he was more off limits now than he had ever been before.
She needed to put all past thoughts and feelings from him in her vault. This job was too important, to put unnecessary risk or paint herself with a target in any way. Emily knew there was always going to be confidential parts from her past she couldn't share, but here she felt safe. Like she didn't have to hide every aspect of her life and personality from the people on her new team. She hoped eventually to feel at ease with them and a part of the team they so carefully cultivated.
Emily could see herself eventually being accepted into the inner fold of the amazing people who already had her respect. She wanted to have a future here, where she could make a clear cut difference and not have to worry what side of the law she stood on.
The welcoming she received overall luke warm at best, but she understood the underlying hostility in this line of work. It was literally life or death, so she didn't blame them for distrusting her.
It seemed to be a mixed bag of reactions to her joining their team. While some like Hotch and Gideon were slow to trust and accept her like she expected, JJ's hesitance and Morgan's friendly demeanor surprised her more. She would have thought the reception she garnered from them both to be reversed based on her gut instinct and perception of the them.
It was clear Morgan, wasn't someone who trusted or warmed up to just anyone. And Emily originally assumed JJ was going to be an immediate friend and ally. But instead the woman seemed wary and suscpious of her for no particular reason as far as she knew.
Yet now she knew the truth of her job offer she excitedly thought she earned. Finding out she was brought on by their Section Chief as her Marionette puppet to control. Erin Strauss wanted to have her do her bidding, to keep her own hands clean. Reminding Emily at her hesitance to comply, that she wasn't a real BAU agent. That her position and future could be taken away in a blink of the eye.
Emily stared down at the shoe box she brought down from the back of her closet. It had been almost two years since she had last dared to peer inside at it's contents. Ticket stubs, little love notes, a few pressed flowers, a small stuffed bear keychain with an I❤️NY t-shirt, the locket, and a douzen or so photos from their time together.
It was eerily haunting the way her younger self smiled so carefree, so unaware of how much pain she would experience, care of the man smiling just as genuinely in that captured moment, frozen in time. Seeing them like that, so content, positive, and hopeful made her sad. Knowing she had incurred countless scars and memories since that, made what they had seem like a fairytale from another life.
Emily knew it was all for the best, that quitting now was how it was meant to be. That maybe it also meant it was time for her to move on and forget about their past. To finally let go of the man she once thought she would spend her life with.
She headed to her refrigerator, considering pouring herself a glass of wine to help drown out the memories. The knock at her apartment door interrupted her musings. The man in question was probably the last person she expected to show up at her door, yet there he was. It felt like deja vu of the last time he'd shown up at her door unannounced.
Yet, last time he had come to apologise for a stupid misunderstanding they had, that visit had ended with both of them taking their clothes off. Emily wished she could fondly remember how they hadn't left her apartment for almost 48 hours straight then. But it would be inappropriate now, for numerous reasons.
Emily knew this time there was no way anyone would be losing any layers. If anything she would need to bundle up if the frosty demeanor in his glare was any indication. Emily invited him in knowing from his stance he had no intention of leaving, and she had no intention of giving her neighbors a show.
Emily wished she had remembered the items sprawled out on her coffee table. She hoped if he saw them, realised the significance of the items, he wouldn't think she was pathetic and desperate for holding onto the past.
That he wouldn't kick her while she was down in the gutters with horrific comments about what they had had, and how little it had meant to him. How easy he found it to forget about the secrets and dreams they shared, for the future she thought they would have together.
Emily was glad he didn't seem to notice or even show interest in the decor around him. He stepped into her kitchen and Emily stood infront of the items she left out, further hiding them from his line of sight. Leaving the kitchen counter as a barrier between them, allowing Emily little peace of mind. Aaron interrupted the momentary silence that settled, cutting right to the chase, informing her of the true intention for showing up at her door.
Yet, she wasn't in a charitable mood, wanting him to spell it out for himself what he deduced from her quitting. Emily knew he was smart enough to read through the interaction in his office. That he would understand it had been a show for their section chief's benefit.
Complimenting Hotch after welcoming him back and pretending she hadn't noticed the other woman in the room. Strategically leaving herself with the last word finally acknowledging the Section Chief as if she was an afterthought. It was Emily's own version of a professional 'fuck you' to Erin Strauss. She had known even then he had sensed the tension in the room between her and their boss. That he had been aware something was amiss about the whole interaction.
Emily Prentiss had always been willing to follow him to whatever depths of hell he led her to. Even if he didn't know the the devout faith she had in him that had nothing to do with her unwavering love. It has everything to do with her respect for him and all he stood for.
Emily knew she didn't owe him anything, that he didn't deserve her loyalty after everything he had put her through. Even dismissing their past and how he broke her heart. Since her return into his life, he had been a real condescending jerk to her. So Emily knew she didn't owe him anything, she had solely been trying to do the right thing. To do her part to ensure the team she'd grown to care for in her short time with them, weren't torn apart in thanks to her.
Emily had quit because it was the only way to recuse herself from helping Strauss. It was the right thing to do, she refused to let anyone use power and politics to win. Especially when the BAU team needed a man like Aaron Hotchner at its helm to lead them and make the tough decisions. To help bring order and justice to restore some semblance of balance with the overwhelming evil and danger in the world.
When he correctly deduced her qualm, he issued her a challenge with his ultimatum, knowing full well she was too prepared not to have a go bag packed and ready. Emily knew it was his way of skirting around their personal past and saying she earned her place on the team. Of finally acknowledging without words that he had wrongly misjudged her and her morals.
She'd never know when she went to quickly change and grab her bag, he grew misty-eyed observing the items she had left out, immediately recognizing them for what they were. Or that he was the reason her favourite slightly worn photo of them went missing from her stack.
Tumblr media
Yet years later, when she learned where the photo ended up, Emily would be glad to know it had comforted him in ways he couldn't even begin to explain to himself when he took it from her collection. That she had been the light that pulled him from the depths of his own darkness all along.
Even more pleased to know now, that even then he carried a torch for her. Because the love they had for each other had always been an eternal flame. One that kept burning no matter the time, distance, or barrier that came between them, threatening to extinguish their flames. Just waiting until they were reunited, so it could burn brighter than ever before.

Outsmart the Crowd: Unrevealed Interview Secrets!
Tumblr media
Everyone wants to know what the secret is to get an edge on the competition while job searching. The best place to turn to when it comes to this is the people who interview and hire for jobs themselves. What are they looking for that makes you stand out? Why does one person get selected over another? How you can be the one that gets the job? To answer those questions, you need to answer the following questions about yourself: Level up your interview game! Dive into secrets that set you apart from the crowd and secure your dream job. #CareerMastery #InterviewHacksClick To Tweet Can I put myself in the interviewer’s shoes? Think about how they will react when first meeting you. You should do some research on the company culture before going in for your interview, and if you can find out who will be interviewing you do some research on them as well. Google them and learn about their professional track, as well as their personal style and personality. There is nothing wrong with knowing this information! Your interviewer will be doing their research on you and probably did before they ever even invited you to an interview. If you see that the interviewer has particular interests through your research, or even looking around the room once you are there (such as a golf photo), then try to work in it somewhere if you share that interest. Once you have done this, you can bring out the parts of yourself that mirror the organization and the people in it, including your interviewer. How do I look and SMELL? Don’t have a wardrobe malfunction ruin your interview! When deciding what to wear, take this into consideration along with thinking about what might be distracting to your interviewer. Try to wear natural tones but not neutral tones and minimize rather than maximize the flashiness at this stage in the game. If your nails are hot pink, you could see how that might be distracting, right? DO NOT SMOKE after you put your interview outfit on. Am I likable and able to perform this job? There are some different points that your interviewer will look at to determine this. Here are some key points to keep in mind: - If you are on the quiet side, make sure to tell the interviewer how your strengths balance that. As an introvert, you most likely think more before you speak and are a great listener so use that to talk about why that would make you suitable for a leadership position. To many introverts, solitude fuels their thinking. - If you are an extrovert, then you may have trouble keeping quiet. If this is the case, try not to boast too much about yourself, rather ask some questions of the interviewer to show that you are interested in their accomplishments and the company’s accomplishments. You should definitely talk about your abilities without overdoing it. Just take your overexcitement down a notch. - The interviewer will be looking for a nice balance between likeability and the ability to perform the job, so do your research on the job description. Make sure you hit all the key points that the description is looking for while in the interview. - It is one thing to demonstrate your character to them while in the interview, but they only have an hour or less with you for you to really get your personality across, so be sure to express how you work well in a team and with co-workers. Am I too upfront and honest? Try to avoid topics that will not help you in the initial interview. For this interview, you will want to pay attention to this job and why you are a good fit. If the interviewer asks you questions about your previous job, tell them why you liked it, NOT why you hated it, and only talk about why you were let go if you have to. Don’t lie, yet be prepared with good valid, and truthful reasons why you were let go. Thoroughly addressing these questions can significantly enhance your interview performance, leading you closer to landing the job. Authenticity is paramount; always present your genuine self. If you secure a position under a pretense, how will you seamlessly integrate it into the daily routine? Isn't it time for the true YOU to seize the opportunity you've earned? 301 Smart Answers to Tough Interview Questions $15.99 $12.99 In today's job market, how you perform in an interview can make or break your hiring possibilities.

To what extent does Anna Archer utilise & engage with the affordances offered by Instagram?
https://instagram.com/annaarcherfitness?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
Tumblr media
fig. 1 - Anna’s page.
I will be looking at Anna archer’s fitness page, the link is copied above. Anna Archer currently stands at two-hundred and sixty seven thousand followers, whilst only following two-hundred and fifty six. Anna has grown in popularity for many reasons, and she has grown her following by utilising the affordances granted to her by Instagram. I will be looking at how has she done this?
Firstly, Anna has made sure that her interest in fitness is in her username - ‘@annaarcherfitness’. This automatically attracts the right target audience. However, the username alone would not be enough to keep her audience engaged…
Affordances engaged with:
Tumblr media
Fig . 2 - A selection of Anna’s ‘Reels
Anna has engaged with ‘reels’, which allows her to make videos, focusing on certain topics. These are found at the top of her page, and Anna has gone further to create ‘series’. These are essentially like playlists, and allows her to group specific workouts into particular categories. For example, Anna had a ‘series’ called ‘Lockdown Workouts’ - this clear labelling and grouping makes it easier for her audience to navigate and interact with her page, which in turn, keeps her audience engaged.
Tumblr media
Fig. 3 - utilisation of ‘series’
Anna also utilises the affordance of ‘highlights’ . These are located underneath her ‘bio’ or biography. This affordance allows Anna to draw attention to important, informative or simply enjoyable moments. By utilising the highlights feature, it aids Anna in portraying a more relatable side of her, by including general snapshots of her life, not just centred around the gym and fitness. Anna has also utilised the labelling affordance and has labelled each highlight. This means that her followers wont find her page too time consuming, and followers can find certain workouts or moments that they wish to view, quickly and effectively.
Tumblr media
Fig. 4 Anna’s use of the ‘highlights’ affordance
Furthermore, the ‘layering’ feature of instagram has allowed Anna to post multiple photos grouped as a singular post on her page, in a neat and aesthetically pleasing way. All users need to do, is slide across each photo to view more. Anna also makes sure to use the captioning affordance, with every post. Since her goal is to boost mental and physical well-being, Anna usually captions her photos with an uplifting and positive message. She also accompanies an uplifting message with a post on the ‘story’ feature. Whilst utilising the ‘poll’ or ‘questions’ feature - which grant her audience the opportunity to interact with Anna’s page, by asking her questions or voting on certain topics. This in turn offers her followers a more personal experience. However, a constraint of this feature, is that her audience might not notice that Anna’s posts are layered, due to scrolling down rather than across.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fig 5, Anna’s utilisation of the ‘layering’ feature
Tumblr media
fig 6, Anna’s positive captions.
Lastly, Anna engages with companies to encourage sponsorships and partnerships with companies. She does this by tagging companies such as @gymshark and any other brands she is working with, or would want to. This encourages brands to reach out to her to aid them in advertising, in turn Anna receives discount codes - which she also shares with her followers, and therefore, helps her to build relationships with brands and help them in increasing their income. Anna has also included her email, and has utilised the message affordance, to make it easier for brands to reach out to her. Whilst going further, and utilising the links affordance in her bio. Anna includes a ‘linktree’ in her bio, including links to her; personal podcast page, TikTok, brand collaborations, discounts and more. This in turn, boosts her following and audience engagement on her other social media platforms.

Lies And Damn Lies About Beauty
Tumblr media
This article should hopefully give you some ways to begin learning to uncover your own true inner beauty.|You become beautiful in a variety of ways, when you pay attention to the beauty within you, and people will take delight in your presence and not really understand why.|Beauty will exude in a number of ways if you focus on your inner self, and then people will want to be around you without really having an understanding as to why.|It will be unexplainable to others, but if you cultivate your inner beauty, it will turn you into a charming person and people will want to spend time with you.|When you work on the beauty within you, you’ll become a desirable person in many ways that go beyond your outward appearance and people will take pleasure in being in your presence, without fully understanding the reason. This blog will begin to explore some of these issues through the nine themes of Digital Citizenship. https://ecw7.com of you would differ on this point but most will not. Sometimes coming across a photograph you love can be more than just a wonderful find. You can find companies who specialise in this particular and also have enterprises devoted to it.
Pilling Windmill was constructed in 1808 by Fylde millright, Ralph Slater, who also built Marsh Mill in Thornton-Cleveleys and the Clifton Windmill near Preston. Xavier tells me the shoot with Antoine was planned for a friend of his who had launched a web-site, "Homme-Avenue", who needed pictures for certain products. Thanks so much Xavier for sharing your work with Antoine with FH! Thanks to a machine-learning algorithm, a robot arm and a brain-computer interface, these researchers have managed to create a means for tetraplegic patients (those who can’t move their upper or lower body) to interact with the world. 21 year old Tyson Smith is a college student in Providence who is fairly new to modeling. On the other hand, sports writers who work at smaller media outlets such as a local publication are expected to provide coverage for several sports that are happening in the local scene. There are several incredible ones in his portfolio.
There is such joy in the shots and Antoine's smile is infectious. It had all the shots you would expect, portraits, fashion and beauty shots. I only recently discovered the beauty of model Theo Hall. His willingness to allow the model as much artistic collaboration as they need not only makes the model feel more like an partner in the creation but it provides the model with the ability to step up and bring their own ideas to the plate. 카지노사이트 주소 and fitness advocates like to support their knees, ankles or back with certain support devices. They usually specialize in a particular industry while working for a technology firm or work directly in an industry, like finance or government. While you are at our channel watch Josh Porter's video entitled "What Technology Means To Me" that he created for a Facebook video contest. Numerous people are so fixated about their appearance and ways to become better looking. Simply because they are obsessed to their commitment towards their husbands and children forgetting that they even exist in this complex and dynamic world. And the quality of the education which UNRWA students receive is praised by reputable validators such as the British Council, UNHCR and the World Bank.

Jared says that working with Dan was great. To me, it turned a great shot into something even more special. He and Jared collaborated and brain stormed each shot.

Casey has a great face, that the camera certainly loves, highlighted by his beautiful blue eyes. Jared has a great eye for composition and edits his shots in way that gives his work a distinct look.

My body of work is a journey into image, whether that's fashion, glamour, advertising or plain portraiture. This is certainly the case in Xavier's work with Antoine.
