Sorry for the prolonged silence... Let's just say, things with my coworker went really well and he's now my boyfriend. Which means, my free time has suddenly gotten even more limited... But to be honest, I'm not really missing tumblr right now. 😅

Writer Wednesday- Writer Challenge
Poe Dameron (ModernAU!) x Reader TW: Suggestion of sex, some mention of physical intimacy, Gun game WC: 721//Fluffy Fluff
Ao3 AN: The first I hope of many community writer challenges! Hosted by@autumnleaves1991-blog
Here is today's prompt!
Tumblr media
Poe holds your hand as you stroll through the carnival gates. You have been seeing each other for several weeks after many months of Poe vying for your attention. You ultimately caved. It's the curls and beautiful smile that battered down your defenses.
He is precisely everything you were worried about: sweet, chivalrous, and fun. Most of your dates were filled with your laughter over his sharp wit and sarcastic quips.
Tragically, Poe Dameron is also a fantastic kisser, possessing a skillful tongue that swiftly devours you--flooding your senses as he caresses your face and draws you close, only to leave hints of bergamot and leather left in his departure, leaving you forever craving more.
Tonight's date to the fair was something you were looking forward to for over a week. The downfall to dating Poe Dameron is that he is wholly committed to his work. You weren't entirely sure you understood his occupation, but it preoccupies a considerable portion of his life. So, the opportunities that you had him all to yourself were special.
Poe glances at you, a familiar crinkle in his earnest brown eyes.
"So, I have a plan." He says as he wraps his arm around your waist. Smiling, you respond similarly, interlocking your bodies as you walk.
"I say we play a couple of games, I win you an armful of prizes, and then we wrap it up with a ride" He pauses. "Or two." Shaking your head, your lips shift into a playful leer.
"I am sorry, who said you would be winning all the prizes. I am competent to win my own prizes. Perhaps I'll even get you a teddy bear to take home." Poe pinches your side with a chuckle.
"Sweetheart, I don't know if you know who you are competing against. I never lose." You lean in closer--his face beams in amusement with himself.
"We'll see." You hum as you push into his chest. Poe laughs and drags you to what appears to be a shooting competition. You attempt to listen attentively to the game operator while Poe stares at you, smirking. The objective is to shoot as many creatures that pop out at you. The person with the best shots win. Poe cockily spins the plastic gun in his hand.
"Honey, I want you to watch real close. Okay?" He jokes as you roll your eyes. Poe waits for the bell to chime before raising the gun to shoot, and shoot he does, impressively. Admittingly, your boyfriend is an incredible marksman. Poe turns, beaming and hands you the gun. Unknowing to the cocky man to your right, you happen to be quite skilled in target practice.
Poe waiting until you begin to focus, slips behind you, hugging his body into your backside, his lips graze your earlobe.
"Okay, sweetheart, so let's make sure your stance is correct." He purrs as he carefully separates your legs with his foot. Thoughts of the prior evening evade your thoughts. Images of Poe canvasing your body with kisses, meticulously nipping and caressing every inch.
Poe places his hands over yours. "You aim, just like this beautiful." Kissing your cheek, he steps back, a smug grin playing on his lips. The bell rings, and your off; the click of the trigger is exactly how you remembered it from days of doing target practice in the field with friends.
Shock wipes Poe's arrogant smile away as he watches you nail every bullseye, beating his nearly perfect round. You happily point at a fuzzy stuffed bear, donning a perfect, bright red bow. Turning, you extend your arms out to Poe, who is standing, with his arms crossed over his broad chest.
"Where the hell did you learn how to do that?" He demands. Biting down on your lip, you shrug your shoulders.
"Beginner's luck?" You murmur with a sly smile. Poe stares silently before rushing you. Intuitively you fling the bear at him, screeching as he tries to grab you. Breathless, he cages you to him. The bear helplessly smushed between you.
"No more games. I say we skip right to the rides." He rustles, touching his nose to yours.
"And which ride will it be, first?" You challenge batting your eyelashes playfully. Poe brushes his lips to your cheek before nuzzling into your neck.
" Me, of course."

My thoughts on AOT No Requiem (Fanmade Ending) Part 1:
With another chapter of this story coming out soon, I thought now would be a good time to share my thoughts on the first part. Before I do that, though, I have a few things that I would like to get off my chest.
A part of me hates that this project exists. Not because I find it disrespectful, but because it serves as a bitter reminder of what a complete mess this ending caused among many fans. I'm still in disbelief how things got so bad so quickly. First, you've got the people who hated it. People began turning on Isayama and calling him a terrible or incompetent writer, regretting ever getting into the series, insisting that it was worse than Game of Thrones, the list goes on and on. People who liked the ending are now endlessly referred to as "ending defenders" or more crude names like "Isayama cockriders," as though they're a bunch of incompetent fools who don't know the first thing about reading comprehension all because they just happened to like it. And then of course you've got the other extreme end of the spectrum where the ones who were disappointed are accused of not understanding the story or they're only upset because their favorite ship or fan theory didn't become canon. This, too, is very demeaning and invalidating for those who grew up with this series that they gave their heart to and cherished for so long, only to have it do what they felt was a complete 180 at the very last second that undid every part of the story they thought was special and unique. It's one of the hardest slaps to the face you can get as a reader and long-time fan, and while I can't fully relate to everyone's feelings, I can at least understand and acknowledge that it's there and it shouldn't be laughed at. Now with all of that out of the way, here are my thoughts and analysis of this fanmade ending and how it differs from Isayama's.
To start things off, I found that part 1 started off similar to how 137 did in the canon manga, with Armin and Zeke conversing in PATHS. The biggest difference would be kid Eren being transported there and seeing his older self. To be fair though, this chapter was only about half the length of what we're used to reading, so I'm sure we'll get a lot more in part 2 onwards.
While Zeke is enlightening Armin on the history of the earth and how the life form that attached itself to Ymir sought to avoid death forever, young Eren is in PATHS too with his older self, witnessing the moment Ymir found the tree and fell in it to become the first titan. At first, there is no dialogue exchanged between them. They just hold hands and watch. Meanwhile, Zeke is still talking to Armin about Ymir and how she continued to serve her oppressive master despite acquiring godlike powers that would allow her to obliterate him whenever she pleased. This is where the team working on this project attempt to provide their own alternate possibilities as to why this happened in a way that would make more sense than what we were given in the canon story in which she simply had a severe case of Stockholm Syndrome and couldn't let him go no matter how much he made her suffer.
Tumblr media
So what are these new possibilities? They come in the form of a question, so their validity is not made absolutely certain, but they're presented as the most likely candidates nonetheless.
Tumblr media
According to Zeke, she was unable to separate her own desires from King Fritz and was a lost girl who sought meaning. A place to belong. Tragically, King Fritz was the only connection she had in her life, so she clung to it with everything she had despite it being toxic and abusive. I could argue that these are the very reasons why she supposedly loved the king in the official manga, as explained by Eren in 139, but they weren't explained or touched on as plainly as they were here. I feel like they could have been if Isayama had just been given more time, but sadly the whole thing was rushed and underdeveloped.
Moving on, Zeke states that despite his efforts in trying to understand Ymir and her feelings, it was Eren who ultimately was able to get to her and offer her the choice of freedom. The next page transitions to young Eren standing in the clouds with his arms spread out and a smile on his face just like in the official 137, only this time 19yo Eren is next to him. Now I'm going to be honest here, this is where things started to get a little corny for me. Yeah. I know a lot of people hate that argument, but that's just how it felt to me. And before I say anything else, I want everybody to know that I am in no way about to mock anyone's fondness of this Eren over the one we saw in 139, even if it was a little over-the-top. It's perfectly fine to prefer one over the other, I'm just going to try to explain myself the best I can without coming across as harsh or unprofessional.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Eren is drawn in these panels to be a stone-faced, determined and unstoppable force who will "keep moving forward until his enemies are destroyed." This is the Eren that many people grew most familiar with throughout the series, despite his occasional breakdowns, but something about the way it was executed just felt a little too overdramatic and exaggerated. For me, the contrast between this Eren and the Eren we were presented with in 139 is too jarring. It came across to me as the fandom's idealized version of Eren, the "chad" Eren if you will, rather than Isayama's portrayal of Eren who is cold and determined, but has also been experiencing stunted mental growth ever since the day he saw his mother get eaten; side note: I know that Eren himself was responsible for his mother's death, but that's a discussion for a later time. Not only that, but the "keep moving forward" line starts to get overused at this point. We already heard Eren say this a number of times before 137 where this first fanmade chapter takes place, so I didn't find it necessary to include that at the end, but it seemed to be the writers' way of trying to reinforce Eren's ultimate goal.
Regarding the rest of the chapter, young Eren asks older Eren what Ymir is still waiting for after he showed her that she's not alone. 19yo Eren proceeds to explain that while he was able to make her feel something again, she still needs somebody to free her. He shows his younger self all of the visions from PATHS that he's seen so far, ranging from past events to alternate realities to things that couldn't be changed no matter what. Now there is only one path left that he strives toward. The one that he believes will grant him and his people freedom. This next line is the one that stood out to me the most throughout this fanmade chapter. Still talking to kid Eren, adult Eren says, "When you wake up, you will forget what you learned, but not what you felt here. This will all feel just like a long dream." Only when he kisses Historia's hand will it all come back to him. This line more clearly explains why Eren woke up crying in chapter 1, but couldn't remember why. Then he circles back to how he intends to carry out his own plan to end the cycle of hatred once and for all. Despite his efforts along the way, he couldn't change the flow of PATHS and save the friends he lost or prevent certain events from happening altogether, so he had to accept that sacrifices had to be made. In this case, he will have to literally sacrifice the world, much to Armin's horror.
To wrap this up, I'm going to finish comparing this to the canon 137, but since the first part of this project only covers the PATHS portion of it, that's where I'll stop as well. To save a little but of time, I'm just gonna be lazy and copy the first part of a quick overview of the chapter I found as part of the wiki:
Tumblr media
So clearly, canon 137 starts off focusing a lot more on Armin and Zeke's differing philosophies and does not provide any further insight into Eren's ultimate motives like this one does, at least not yet. Armin and Eren are bound to face off soon in this fanmade version, but it looks to me like this time the writers are planning on flipping the outcome and having Eren come out victorious instead, especially when I remember the name of this project and what it's based on. I guess that means that in a way, I already know what's ultimately going to happen throughout the rest of this project. Whether it's going to be considered superior to the actual ending is going to depend on if its executed properly. I could very well be wrong about some of this, though. I want to give it a fair shot since these people have clearly put a lot of hard work and passion into this, so I will refrain from further judgement until we get the full picture. On a side note, I just want to say that the artwork is beautiful so far and I commend every artist responsible for their efforts. I also liked the song choice at the beginning and thought it set the mood pretty well.
Thank you to everyone who read the whole thing. This took me far longer to write than it should have because I'm not always good at expressing myself in a way that does not come across as confusing or contradictory. I will continue to share my thoughts as more content is released, which by the looks of it could be any day now.

Starry Eyes (Vince Neil x Reader One Shot)
Summary:
You and Vince have been best friends since you were kids. He doesn't realize how much he loves you until you guys are stargazing on the beach. And that's when you knew you were in love with him too.
Warnings:
Fluff and language
REQUESTS ARE OPEN!!!!
COMMENT IF YOU WANT TO BE ON THE TAGLIST FOR MÖTLEY FICS!
(Y/M/N) is your middle name.
(A/N: I actually do this with my hair when I talk 😂 👇)
Tumblr media
//
"C'mon Vinny!" You exclaim, pulling on the sleeve of his leather jacket.
He had just gotten back from a ride on his motorcycle. Here lately, his feelings for you have changed. From being the love of a best friend, to the love of a girlfriend. Vince has been falling for you without even realizing it.
"Do we have to, (Y/N)?" Vince asks. He's been stuck in his head all day. He just wants a beer and a nap.
"This is the prime time to go put there, Vinny!" You say, getting more and more excited as you think about it. "We'll be out there when the sun's setting, the beach we go to will be deserted, and we'll get to stargaze! We haven't got to do that in forever! You've been to busy."
You've been missing Vince a lot more here lately. He's been so busy with the band. Sometimes you even feel jealous of them. And your feelings for Vinny have grown stronger. You've been trying to suppress them as best as you can, but it hasn't been working.
Vince didn't think spending more time with you is going to help his situation. But, as he looks at you pouting, he knows he's going to give in. He gives into you so easily. He can't ever say no to you. Especially when you're pouting.
"Alright," He sighs, pulling you into his body. He wraps an arm around you and you feel yourself flush. "As long as we can take my bike."
"I don't care how we get there, Vincent," You laugh. "I just wanna go!"
Vince chuckles, leading you out of your small apartment. "You're ridiculous sometimes, (Y/N) (Y/M/N) (Y/L/N)."
You roll your eyes, a smirk on your lips. You hop onto the back of the bike once Vince was settled on it. "You're just as bad as I am, Vincent Neil Wharton."
With that said, he revved up the bike and the both of you speed off towards your favorite beach.
It's actually very small and secluded. It's not as heavily used as many of the other beaches. You and Vince would usually go out there nearly every day before the band got big. Once they took off though, you stayed behind in LA while Vince went off and traveled the world to play his music. You are so proud and happy for him, but you can't help but feel a bit forgotten. He doesn't even call as often anymore.
And you couldn't exactly ignore all the tabloids about his scandals with strippers and random women. It hurt you, deeply. But, you can't tell Vince that. You don't want him feeling bad for you or thinking you're some selfish bitch.
You guys arrive in the parking lot of the beach. You are nearly jumping up and down with excitement and all the caffeine you had drank earlier today. You have too much energy than what you know what to do with.
Vince follows closely behind you. When you start to take off in a run, Vince grabs your hand. He laces your fingers together and pulls you back to where he is.
"What's got you full of energy?" He asks, a grin on his pink lips. "Did you drink too much coffe and cokes today?"
You frown, looking down at your feet. "How'd you know?"
He laughs, nudging you. "I know you."
You look up at him. Your breath nearly hitches at how amazing he looks in the setting sunlight. His blonde hair seems almost silver. His beautiful blue eyes match the waves rolling onto the sand. "Maybe too well," You quip back, trying to hide the blush that's crept onto your cheeks.
Vince peeks down at you, and his breath does hitch at how beautiful you look. Your (H/C) hair looks amazing. Your (E/C) eyes reflect off of the ocean. If it's possible, he falls for you even more.
You guys just walk in silence for a while. Your joined hands swing a bit as you observe your surroundings. He pulls you off into the sand, finally. He goes close to the ocean and lays down. He tugs you down with him, causing you to laugh as you fall onto his chest. You both laugh, trying ignore how close you are to each other.
You roll off of him, and look up at the sky. The sun finally set. The stars come out, shining like a thousand suns. Your eyes brighten at their beauty. You love the stars so much. There's no real reason why, you just do. You always have.
Vince looks over at you, his smile growing as he looks at your admiring the stars. He knows how much you love them. You look so perfect to him in this moment. You look perfect to him all of the time, but even more so now. You look like a goddess. Vince bites down at his lip, thinking over his next words.
"(Y/N)?" He says, sounding nervous.
You hum in response, ripping your eyes from the stars above. Your (E/C) eyes meet his blue ones.
"I-I have something to tell you. It's about why I was out so long on my bike today," He begins. You're instantly hooked. What could he be so nervous about? "I was. . .thinking. A-About you. We've known each other for a while now. We've been through a lot with each other. You've been there for me through everything. Even helped me with my dumb ass plans. When I'm one tour, you're all I think about. Your eyes, your smile, your sarcasm, everything. You're my first thought when.I wake up, and the last thought when I go to sleep. Here lately, my feelings for you have changed. I-In a good way!" He exclaims when he notices the scared look in your eyes. "They've evolved in a way I never thought they would. What I'm trying to say is, I'm in love with you." Your eyes widen in surprise. He loves you back? Vince continues to babble on, taking your widened eyes as a bad sign. "You don't have to say anything. I'm sure you don't even see me in that way. I mean why would you? I've been neglecting you since the band took off! What kind of selfish son of a-."
You cut him off by pressing your lips to his. He gasps in surprise, but ultimately kisses back. His lips move against yours perfectly. You feel like you're on Cloud Nine.
You pull back with a grin on your face. You bite down on your lip as you say, "God I wanted to do that for so long."
"Y-You have?" Vince stutters, causing you to laugh.
"'Course I have! What makes you think I wouldn't have?" You ask. You could've sworn you made your feelings perfectly clear.
He shrugs. "I've been getting real distant lately. I thought you would've hated me by now."
You let out a laugh. "Me? Hate you? No, no Vincent! I'm in love with you!" You say dramatically.
He laughs at you, but stops as soon as he fully processes your words.
"Y-You what?" He asks in disbelief.
"I love you, Vince Neil."
You press your lips against his again. He pushes you onto your back and crawls on top of you. He kisses you with as much passion and love as he can.
"I love you too," He mumbles against your lips.
This is how it's supposed to be. You and Vince against the world. You know you'll always be together. Nothing can separate you. Not even if you guys break up. You need each other. You'll be lost without one another.
He may be a rockstar, but for you, he's the sweetest man alive. And he'll never hurt you.

Stray Kids react to another member flirting with you
Felix:
You were currently at the movies with all of Stray Kids. It was 10 pm and you were all in your seats waiting patiently for the movie to start, while talking to each other.
The ten of you were the only ones in the movie theater, letting you all talk as loud as you want.
On your left is your boyfriend, Felix, and on your right is Jeongin.
You were so happy, everyone in the group knew about you and Felix being together and they fully supported it.
It was perfect and you thought nothing could ruin anything but you were so wrong. 
The lights slowly dimmed and the trailers started to roll, you felt Felix grab your hand and squeeze it. You chuckled to yourself knowing you all were about to watch a scary movie. You turned towards Felix, smiled at him reassuringly and said jokingly, "Don't worry, I'm here to protect you."
Causing him to laugh quietly and give you a quick kiss. The two of you pulled away before anyone could notice and make a big deal out of it.
Unknowingly to you, Jeongin was looking at you both with a frown on his face.
About 20 minutes into the movie, you heard a whisper coming from your right, "Y/n can you please hold my hand? I'm scared." You felt bad for the maknae and nodded your head.
You turned towards Felix who was looking at you and Jeongin, you leaned towards him and explained. Felix just nodded his head, thinking Jeongin would never flirt with y/n on purpose, but had a weird feeling he couldn't describe. 
Another 10 minutes later, you were holding both Felix and Jeongin's hand. Both jumping as people were making dumb decisions and getting themselves killed on the screen.
At this point, both boys had cuddled into you, which you didn't mind. You would sometimes hold the other members when they got scared, nothing new.
A couple minutes later, Jeongin whispered to you, "Y/n can you come with me to get a refill? Please?" You turned towards him and seen the pouty look on his face, you could never say no to that face. You smiled and whispered a quick yes to Jeongin, then turned towards Felix and told him what was happening. Felix nodded and told you to hurry back, which you answered with an "of course" and gave him a quick kiss before leaving. 
You followed Jeongin out into the hallway when he stopped you. "I need to tell you something y/n." Jeongin said with a nervous look on his face. This concerned you and told him that he could tell you anything, you were here for him.
You expected him to say something but he just stared at you for a few seconds before leaning in.
You were shocked, confused, and ultimately froze, not expecting this from Jeongin of all people.
It was dead silent as his lips connected with yours until a gasp was heard from behind you.
This caused you to snap out of your frozen state and push Jeongin off of you. You turned around quickly to see your loving boyfriend, Felix, in tears. "How could you two? Why? What did I do wrong?" Felix said while tears ran down his face. This absolutely broke your heart, seeing him crying and thinking he did something wrong when he did nothing but treat you like an angel. "Felix I swear it's not what it looks like-" you tried to explain but he just ran past you and Jeongin to the exit.
You were about to run after him but before you did Jeongin said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I just really like you y/n." You turned to the boy and replied with, "We'll talk about this later Jeongin, right now I need to go find Felix."
You were angry at Jeongin, you couldn't help it, he might have just ruined your relationship with Felix. You gave him one last look, he did look like he was sorry, but all you could think about was Felix.
So you sprinted towards the exit as fast as you can hoping you could catch up to Felix. 
It was 20 minutes later and you couldn't find him, you were beyond scared and a crying mess.
The rest of the group was out looking for him too but you were alone. You were about to call Chan but he called you instead.
You took a breath and answered your phone, "Did you find him?" You asked with a shaky voice. "We found him, he's at the dorm. You should hurry and get here. He locked himself in his room and won't talk to me or Changbin. I'll call the rest of the boys." You muttered a quick "thank you" to Chan and hung up.
After that, you booked it to the dorm. All you could think about was that you might lose the boy you love and that terrified you.
You got to the dorm not even 10 minutes later, out of breath and scared for what Felix will say.
Chan opened the front door, he was waiting for you.
You hurried inside and were about to say something when Chan said, "Hi y/n, he's still locked in his room. He won't come out and we can hear him crying. Please try and explain what happened to him, he won't listen to anyone else. I know it wasn't your fault. We are going to have a serious talk with Jeongin about his behavior. You both love each other, anyone can see it. If anyone can make it out of this, it's you and Felix." You teared up at the wise leader's words and said, "Thank you Chan, I love Felix so much I don't know what I'd do if I lost him. I won't stop trying until I explain what happened."
Chan gave you a sad smile and replied, "Don't think about losing him, go get him y/n." You returned the smile and turned and ran to Felix's room.
You seen Changbin, Jisung, and Minho all looking worried in the living room as you ran, but that didn't stop you. You needed to talk to Felix. 
When you got there, you knocked on the door and asked Felix to open up.
You didn't hear a response and were about to try again when the door suddenly opened, revealing a puffy eyed and tear stained Felix.
You felt your heart break even more at the sight. 
He didn't say anything but he moved to the side and let you in. "Felix please just let me explain." You said while starting to cry again.
Felix could see the pain in your face and wanted to hear what you had to say, so he responded with a nod of his head. You explained what happened as best as you could and right as you finished Felix spoke up for the first time, "I know what happened, Jeongin called me apologizing. He explained everything and I don't blame you, I blame him. But that doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt."
You were relieved that he didn't blame you but sad that this will come between the two boys.
You looked at him and said with worry in your voice, "Does this mean we'll stay together? I don't wanna come between you and Jeongin."  Felix looked at you and took your hands in his, you looked into each other's eyes for what felt like forever.
You were afraid of Felix's answer but we're surprised with what he said, "I love you y/n and nothing will change that. I know you didn't kiss Jeongin, I trust you. I can't lose you so please don't go." His voice cracked when he said the last sentence and had tears falling down his already tear stained face.
Before you could answer started speaking again, "You, me, and Jeongin can work this out. It might take awhile, but I know I can forgive him." You smiled at his words, you were afraid he was going to hold a grudge against Jeongin and you didn't want that.
You couldn't form a sentence at the moment so you cupped Felix's face and brought him into a kiss.
Felix instantly returned the kiss, wasting no time. You could taste his tears that had grazed his lips but you couldn't care less, nothing else but this moment mattered. 
Maybe five minutes past, you weren't sure, you didn't even realize your coat came off. Felix's hands had just krept under your shirt when there was a knock at the door.
You pulled apart, breathing heavily and a little startled. On the other side of the door you heard, "Can we come in?" You and Felix nodded at each other and both replied with a "yes."
The door opened, revealing Chan, Woojin, and Jeongin. Jeongin had his head down but then looked up at you and Felix with a sad look. Then Woojin spoke up with a stern voice while giving Jeongin a serious look, "Jeongin has something he would like to say."
You knew that everything was going to go back to normal or as normal as it could be after this. Well you hoped it would..
~Ri~
