“Now I get why you didn't want to sit in my box seats.” Kendall Jenner told Miriam, noticing Jack sitting courtside next to Urban and Zack Bia with his team behind him. 
"I don't like box seats in general." She shrugged. 
Kendall gave her a knowing look and guided them to the section directly across from Jack's seats. 
They were in Phoenix for the Suns and Warriors game. Miriam hitched a ride with Kendall from New York. She's been there for a little over a month filming another movie. She starred alongside Evan Mock and Isabela Gomez. It's a book adaptation to 'Placebo Junkies' and about a highschool dropout who lives in a rundown apartment with her boyfriend (played by Evan Mock) and her best friend (played by Isabela Gomez). Evan Mock's character has a terminal illness and Miriam's character starts doing medical trials to save up some money so they can take a trip. Throughout the film it showed the desperation Miriam's character goes through to make money after her best friend passes away and what can happen when drug trials are taken to extremes. What Miriam is most excited about is the ending because her character is an unreliable narrator, and it leaves the ending left to interpretation.
She got the role back in September, when she was getting ready for the Met Gala, Jeremy O. Harris was also getting dressed by Tommy Hilfiger, like her and Jack, and brought up the movie role. Jeremy is one of the producers for 'Placebo Junkies'. He claimed that it was ‘perfect for her’ because he read the script for ‘The Lies We Vow To' ,her movie with Oscar Isaac, and drew similarities between the characters. Filming for the movie started in early October and set to end in mid December. Though right they're taking a week long break since Isabela Gomez is promoting one of her projects and Evan Mock is gearing up for the second half of Gossip Girl. Coincidentally, Miriam's birthday is in the same week and Jack invited her to spend the week with him while he toured. He offered to fly her out first class, but she had already asked Kendall if she could fly with her. 
She hadn't seen him in forever. After Lollapalooza Chicago, she went to New York to work on her Met Gala look with Tommy Hilfiger and Soni, Danny and Claudia's mom. They briefly reunited in London but they couldn't spend as much time as they liked because Jack was busy doing shows and interviews, but they were lucky to sit at the same table at the GQ awards dinner. She went because she was her dad's plus one. Mateo was awarded some type of athletic lifetime achievement award for his time at Chelsea. Soon after that, Jack began his US tour and she was working for fashion month. 
Her phone buzzed and she pulled it out of her back pocket. It was a message from Jack. Miriam read it and rolled her eyes at his corny message about how he's rethinking his career choices because she looks good in a basketball jersey. She didn't even try to make her outfit look cute. She wore some high waisted boyfriend jeans and his black hoodie with a Warriors jersey over it. Kendall Jenner was dressed the same, except she wore her boyfriend's jersey. 
Miriam looked across the court to him. She smirked seeing him sitting with his legs open. She typed out how yearned to drop to her knees and suck him right then and there, not caring that seventeen thousand people saw her. She watched him pull out his phone and read her message. He squirmed in his seat and subtly adjusted his pants. He met her gaze and discreetly flipped her off while he fixed his jacket. 
Not long after warm-ups started. Miriam and Kendall took several pictures, posting them to their respective social media accounts. At some point Juan Toscano, number 95 from the Warriors, came by with Jordan to say hi to Miriam when Kendall went to go greet Devin. Jordan left to finish, leaving Miriam and Juan to catch up. 
From across the court Jack took notice of how Miriam was laughing a little too hard at whatever Juan was telling her. 
"Aw, she's wearing his jersey. They make such a cute couple." said Charlotte, one of Neelam’s influencer friends that was close to Jack's age. 
Charlotte and Jack had a very brief fling a few years back. He met her in Birmingham at one of his shows. She was tall and blonde, nothing too interesting to keep him around. She became some sort of southern Belle influencer and according to Neelam, she grew a decent sized following a few months ago. Jack wanted nothing to do with Charlotte after they ended things but she managed to stay friends with Neelam and would sometimes get flown out to hang out with her. 
"They're not a couple." Jack said curtly, squeezing his paper cup as Juan and Miriam shared a hug. 
"I don't know, that looks like a couple to me," Charlotte said in a sing-song voice. She reached forward to rub Jack's arm and leaned in, "what are we doing after the game, handsome?"
Thankfully the game started and Jack could just pretend he didn't hear her. But that didn't stop her from trying to get his attention. Every few minutes, she'd try to touch his arm. It got to the point that Jack had to ask Urban to switch seats with him. At half-time, the Suns' mascot went up to him and gave him a personalized jersey for the shout out he gave them in the 'What's Poppin' remix. By the time the third quarter started, Jack's social battery drained and he wanted to go back to his hotel room.
He pulled out his phone to text Miriam just as she sent him a text that she was leaving the game early. He replied back that she should wait for him because he was planning on leaving as well but he head to check in with Neelam and Chris. 
"Hey, I'm heading back to the hotel with Miriam." He told Chris in a hushed tone. 
"Okay, text me when you get to the hotel." He said. 
"You can't just leave. The game isn't over." Neelam whisper-yelled. 
"It's just a basketball game." Chris reassured her.
"Whatever." She mumbled, crossing her arms.
"Jack, where are you going?" Charlotte asked him.
"I'm leaving." He said bluntly. 
"Can I go with you?" She quickly gathered her things.
"No." He said, looking over to Urban with a 'you seeing this shit?' look. 
He grabbed his things and shook hands with Urban and Zack. He nodded at Chris and was on his way. He spotted Miriam and Beto casually waiting for the valet to pull up with their rental. 
"Hey," he said, letting her know he was there.
"Hi." She grinned. 
Jack ached to touch her, to have his arms around her, but he couldn't. When they established that they're a couple they agreed to be private. It wasn't anyone's business either way. Their close friends and family knew, along with Jack's team because they wouldn't be able to hide it from them. Other than that nobody else knew. To the general public they were just really close friends that saw each other at a lot of events. 
Though Miriam accidentally let her followers know she wasn't single when she posted a selfie of her with Daisy jumping over her to her Instagram stories. Her caption was 'when your dog hears your man's voice and wants to join your facetime.' She had called him panicking and apologized. He reassured her that it was okay. He gave her his consent that she can talk about him as long as she doesn't mention him by name or post anything that can be traced back to him because he knew how his fans could get. Even before they got together, some of them didn’t like that they were friends while some claimed that they're not real friends and only hang out for PR reasons.
The valet approached them and handed the keys to the rental to Beto. He stood back to make sure there weren't any paps as Jack guided Miriam inside the SUV. 
Once inside the confines of the car, Jack pulled Miriam into a chaste kiss. 
"I fucking missed you." He said, pressing their foreheads together.
"Really? Because from the looks of it you and blondie looked rather comfortable. Are you going to dedicate a verse from my song to her too?" She asked him in a playful tone, referring to the Chicken Shop Date video.
"For the millionth time, it was edited." He groaned.
When he filmed the Chicken Shop Date video, he was asked what the most romantic lyric he wrote was and he recited a verse from the song he wrote for Miriam a few months back. But the video editors cut it so it looked like he made up the verse off the top of his head for the host. Miriam was a bit annoyed with him when she saw the video because she thought the song was just between them. But Jack reassured her that the song was between them. Though he did plan to have that part of her song in another song about her. 
"I know I just like teasing." Miriam giggled. 
The car ride back to the hotel was quick. Jack handed her a copy of his key while her and Beto checked in. Chris was able to book a room for her and Beto in the same one they were staying at. Will she be sleeping in it? No, the night was still young and her and Jack had several weeks to catch up with each other. 
Jack went ahead of her and quickly picked up the things he had laying on the ground. He fixed up the bed and fluffed up the pillows. A few minutes later the card reader pinged, opening the door and revealing Miriam. 
She closed the door and ran to him, wrapping her legs around his waist. Jack bounced her bit, adjusting her legs so she wouldn't slip off him. They kissed as he carried them to the cloud gray arm chair. They pulled away, removing their sweaters and shirts. Miriam stayed in her lace and silk balconette bra while Jack stayed shirtless. 
“Did this come with a matching thong?” Jack asked, toying with a strap.
“No, but I got matching cheeky panties.” Miriam shrugged. 
“You always gotta make your smartass comments.” he mumbled.
“Isn’t that why you like me?” she smiled sweetly.
“No, it’s because of this ass.” 
Jack pushed her up so that his hands were on her ass. With both hands, he kneaded her ass and then pressed her down on the growing tent of his pants. Miriam held his face as she leaned down to kiss his lips. They moaned into each other's mouths as Jack kept moving Miriam’s hips on him. He held them in place and pushed his hips up for a different sensation. After what felt like an eternity, he finally let them go and wrapped his arms around her waist as they continued their makeout session.
Kissing Jack was addicting and it didn’t help that he’s good at it. Miriam has known all that since their shared kiss back at his birthday kickback. One kiss made her want to have a million more. And having him all to herself like this, she couldn’t help but be greedy and only want to kiss him. Though that didn’t mean she didn't ache to have him fill her up. 
“This is embarrassing.'' Jack panted, finally breaking their kiss.
“What?” Miriam asked before kissing down his jaw.
“I’m about to bust,” he groaned. 
“Bust what?” she scrunched her face in confusion.
“What do you think, smartass?” he deadpanned gesturing to his crotch.
“Oh,” she giggled. Miriam got off his lap and kneeled on the rug. With her hands, she opened his legs a bit so she could fit properly in between them. She sat on her knees and gathered her hair into a ponytail. "You know I wasn't kidding when I said I would have let all those people see me just so I can have you in my mouth."
"Is that so?" 
"Mhm," she hummed as stood up. 
She gave him his back as she slowly pulled down her jeans. She adjusted her panties, pulling them up her hips to accentuate her ass more, and got back down on her knees. She reached forward and undid Jack's pants. He lifted his hips allowing her to pull them down along with his boxer-briefs. She grabbed them and tossed them aside. 
"Damn, you weren't kidding when you said that you were about to bust." Miriam noted as she reached for his cock. 
"I told– fuck, Miriam." Jack cursed when he felt her tongue circle around his tip. 
She spit on it and slowly jerked him off with both hands. She slipped him as far as she could take him. He let out an incoherent sound until she reached the back of her throat. She did it a few more times, egging him on. She pulled away, with a trail of saliva spilling from the corner of her mouth, and kissed down his length. 
Jack sat back in amazement watching her slip him back in her mouth. Miriam always left him in awe. She presented herself with such grace and elegance. It was hard to believe that she was the same girl that was giving him the sloppiest head he's ever received. It turned him on more that only he had the privilege to see this side of her. That she was his lil secret and her was hers.
"Jack," she called to him in a soft voice.
"Yes?" He asked, quirking an eyebrow at her. 
He knew that tone all too well. It was the one she used when she wanted to get her way with something because she knew he was going to say no when she'd ask him for something. 
"Can you please fuck my face?" She leaned her head on his thigh and gently rubbed the other one. She met his gaze with a pout. "Please."
"You always gotta get your damn way, huh." He mumbled, shaking his head.
Jack moved to the edge of the armchair and spread his legs more. He bent down and pulled her up her neck, claiming her lips with his. He let go of her neck and gathered her curls with one of his hands while Miriam unclasped her bra flinging it behind them. She got on all fours, finding it more comfortable for her get her face fucked than kneeling. 
"Ready?" He asked her.
"Yes." She nodded eagerly. 
"If it's too much–"
"I'll squeeze your wrist three times, I know." She cut him off, rolling her eyes in annoyance. "We've been over it hundreds of times."
"I'mma about to fuck that snarky attitude of yours."
"Please do." She smiled sweetly.
Jack didn't bother to give Miriam a response. He tightened the grip around her hair and guided his cock back in her mouth. They moaned in unison. He slowly bobbed her head up and down his length, getting used to her mouth. She took him a little deeper each time. He still wasn't a fan of deep throat but lucky for him, Miriam knew what she was doing and didn't take him with such brute force. Several minutes passed and Jack began to thrust his hips up as he held Miriam's head in place. 
In front of them was a full length mirror mounted on the wall. Jack noticed one of Miriam's hands rubbing herself over her soaked through panties. He loosened his grip around her hair. 
"Take them off." He motioned to her panties. "I wanna see you play with your pussy while I fuck your pretty mouth."
Miriam nodded. She rolled over and yanked them off, getting back into the position she was previously in. She opened up her legs more so that Jack could get a better of her. She opened her mouth to him, letting him know they can continue where they left off. She whimpered in pleasure as he slid in her mouth once more. 
Jack's grunts filled the suite, egging Miriam on as she rubbed her clit. She was pleasantly overwhelmed, but she needed more. So she inserted her ring and middle fingers inside of herself. She thrusted her fingers at the same pace Jack fucked her mouth. A hard smack on her ass, caught her off guard and brought her to her climax. 
Jack pulled her away from him, allowing her to fully come. She rested her head on the inside of his thigh. Her moans were raspy, almost inaudible. She pulled her fingers out and offered them to Jack. He gladly took them and licked them clean. He brushed back some of her curls, making her sigh contently. 
"We can stop here." Jack said. 
Miriam shook her head. "You haven't come yet which is why we're doing this in the first place." 
"I don't want you to think you're obligated just because you came, Miriam."
"I don't feel obligated to go down on you. I genuinely like sucking your dick. If I didn't, I wouldn't be down here getting rugburns on my knees."
"Are you sure?" 
"I'm a hundred percent positive."
"Alright, you can do your thing."
"Yay!" She clapped happily.
Miriam’s eyes never left Jack’s as she took him back in her mouth. His stomach began to contract after a few bobs, letting her know that he was close. Slowly, she pulled him out of her mouth until only his tip rested on her tongue. She widened her eyes, making her look more innocent as she stroked him. 
"Fuck Miriam, let me come on that pretty face." He murmured.
She nodded and sucked his tip one last time before jerking him off. She closed her eyes, not wanting to get Jack's release on her eye like last time. She felt warm streaks land on her cheek, sliding down her neck while Jack repeated her name as he came. 
Miriam sat back on her knees once Jack's climax ceased. She was a sight for sore eyes. Mascara ran down her flushed cheeks. Her lips were plump, swollen from them meeting the base of his cock every time he shoved her head down as he thrusted his hips up. Her hair clung to her neck thanks to Jack's release and her sweat. 
"You okay?" Jack asked her, noticing her zoned out state.
"Yeah," Miriam nodded. She got up and sat on his lap. "Thank you, for doing all that. You didn't have to, I know you don't like head like that." 
"I know. Like you said, if I really didn't want to, I wouldn't have let you go down on me." He said, wrapping his arms around her. 
Miriam nodded in agreement. She nuzzled his chest. She tried stifling a yawn but exhaustion finally hit her. She was on set for a few hours before she flew out to Phoenix with Kendall. She didn't even nap during the four hour flight because she was so excited to see Jack. 
"Let's shower and get ready for bed." He said, helping her up. 
"Can you fuck me against the shower glass?" She asked as they made their wya to the bathroom.
"No, knowing you, you'd want me to twist you up into a pretzel when I fuck you and that shit is dangerous."
***
Jack stifled a yawn as he entered the hotel room. He was in Portland. The bus had arrived at the hotel just before midnight. It was almost six in the morning and he had set an alarm at four to go with Urban to get some doughnuts at 'Voodoo Donuts' for Miriam. It was her birthday and he wanted to surprise her with one of her favorite sweet treats. 
"Where'd you go?" Miriam asked him as he climbed to bed. "I got cold without you here to hold me."
"I'm pretty sure you're only cold because you're sleeping in a thong and tank top." Jack murmured, pulling her to his chest. He kissed her shoulder. "Happy birthday moviestar."
"Thank you, but can we hold off until the sun's out?" She asked.
Jack hummed in response. He pulled the blanket, her tiger blanket that he stole from her before he left for tour, he wanted to have a piece of her to hold while he slept, over their bodies. They both fell back into a deep slumber. 
Around seven, Jack’s phone began ringing. He cursed and reached behind him to the nightstand. Miriam stirred awake when she felt him get out of bed. She spotted him in the small living room area leaning against the back of the couch with the most annoyed look that she was all too familiar with. It usually happened when they were hanging out and Neelam would call him over to the studio. He hung up and walked back to bed with an apologetic look. 
“What’s up?” she asked him as he plopped on the bed. 
“Neelam scheduled three fucking radio interviews in the morning and one in the afternoon.” he mumbled into his pillow. 
‘Of course she did.’ Miriam thought to herself, but she ended up responding, “And that’s bad because?” 
“Because it’s your birthday and I brought you out here to spend it with you.” he turned his head to look at her. 
“Jack, it’s okay. This isn't the first time I’m spending my birthday alone.” she leaned forward to brush back some of his curls.
“You’re not making it better.” He huffed and rolled onto his back, pulling her to his lap. 
“I know what can make you feel better.” she said, pressing herself down on the growing tent in Jack's crotch. "Can I ride you?" 
"I'd like that." He nodded. 
Miriam nodded. 
"But I want you to ride my face first.” he said, moving her hands away from his boxer-briefs. 
"Oh my god, no!" She giggled.
"Why?" He sat up. 
"I have thick thighs." She mumbled, embarrassed. 
"So? I like thick thighs, especially yours." Jack murmured, kissing down her jaw as one of his hands crept inside her thighs. "I can tell it's warm. Can I please dive in?" 
"If you–"
"Hold that thought." He cut her off. 
Lyric inspiration hit him. Jack got out of bed and went where his backpack was. He unzipped a hidden pocket and pulled out a leather bound journal. He flipped through it until he found the page he titled 'Blade of Grass', quickly scribbling 'Thick thighs and I can tell it's warm, baby, can I please dive in?'. 
"You good?" Miriam asked him as he shoved his journal back in backpack.
"Yeah," he nodded. He looked down at her thong covered sex and smirked, "that pussy of yours just gave me some inspiration for a song." 
"I don't even wanna know." She scrunched up her face, cringing.
"Are you still riding my face?" He asked, laying on his back. 
"If you wanna die." 
"It'll be the most honorable way to go." 
*
Jack checked his phone for the nth time. He was waiting for Miriam back in the suite because three hours before they had to be at the venue. He wanted to spend some time with her. A few days prior he had found a bakery near the venue he was performing at and ordered a small red velvet cake for Miriam. It was her favorite. 
Jack tossed his phone on the bed hearing the keycard reader ping. Miriam entered the suite struggling to carry several shopping bags, so he got up and held the door open for her.
"Hi!" she said, tossing the bags on the ground. She turned behind her and grabbed the other bags Beto was holding for her along with a suitcase. "Thanks Beto, I'll text you later to head out."
She closed the door with her hips and placed the rest of her bags with the others. Miriam toed her sneakers off and took off her The North Face fleece jacket, staying in the white cropped white beater top she wore under. She pushed Jack on the bed and straddled his hips.
"I see you kept yourself busy." Jack nodded behind her at the large pile of Saint Laurent and Mario's shopping bags. 
"After I watched Oscar Isaac die naked in Dune, I did some light shopping." She said, running hands over his chest.
"That's what you call light shipping?" He asked, arching an eyebrow at her.
"Yeah," she nodded, "you should see me in Milan and Paris. I empty the stores." A few seconds passed when she jumped off his lap and rummaged through her shopping bags. "That reminds me, I got you something."
He shook his head. He didn't like it when she spent money on him. "Miriam,"
"And before you're all 'it's your birthday you shouldn't have bought me something', this is purely for selfish reasons because I plan on wearing it when I visit you." She pulled out a white puffer jacket. Handing it to him, she said, "Mira, it's Moncler."
"I know these cost over twelve hundred. I can’t accept it.” he protected. 
"Jack, if it makes you feel better we can say it's my jacket that I let you borrow." Miriam reasoned sarcastically.
"Fuck that," he frowned.
"You're helpless. Just take the fucking jacket." 
"Fine." He grumbled, slipping on the jacket. It fit him perfectly. It wasn't too big but it was loose enough in the way he liked. "Thanks for the jacket."
"And maybe we can go to my grandpa's place in Aspen and I can ride you while wearing it." 
"I'll buy you some snow boots so– wait, your grandpa has a place in Aspen?"
"Yeah, my white grandpa's family owns a small chain of ski lodges in Colorado. When they cut my grandpa off, he was lucky to already have his own lodge-cabin thing. We always go there for Christmas with my other grandparents."
"Why was your grandpa cut off?"
"They're racist and hate my abuela because she's Mexican." She shrugged. "Now let's change the topic. Did you figure out what song you're cutting so you can perform 'Yikes'?"
"How'd you know I'm performing that?"
"I overheard you and your DJ last night on the bus." 
"Damn I was gonna surprise you." He fake- pouted.
"Oh well." Miriam giggled, pulling the jacket's hood over Jack's head.
"This got awkward." He pointed out after a few seconds of awkward silence.
"It did."
"C'mon let's cut your cake." He said pulling over to sit on the bed. 
"Stop! You didn't get me a cake." Her eyes brimmed with tears. 
He nodded. "Red velvet too." 
"Fuck Jack!" She cried. She wrapped her arms around his body. "You're the best,  you know that right?"
He smirked proudly. "I do." 
He propped his phone at the vanity so he could record them while Miriam facetimed her parents on her phone. Everyone sang to her and she blew out the candles. She talked to parents while Jack got his things ready for tonight's show. Miriam hung up half an hour later and started to get ready. 
Since she didn't get the dresses custom made, like she does when she buys at the Paris YSL store, they didn't fit as well as she liked. The champagne colored crushed velvet dress didn't even have adjustable straps and it made her breasts look weird. Miriam ended up going with the outfit she had originally packed. It was a black open front, long sleeve Jacquemus crop top that was held together in the front with a dainty gold plaque of the brand's logo and dusty pink high waisted cargo pants that matched the laces of her Dutch Green Air Jordans. 
She then went to the bathroom to do her hair and makeup. She had straightened her hair earlier that day, but it rained thus making her hair curly once more. So she just clipped it back and did two little braids to frame her face. For makeup, she went with a more laid back look with a subtle eyeliner, soft contour, and some gloss. She felt her eyes a bit naked so she decided to put on some lashes that weren't too out there. 
"Miriam, your phone's blowing up." Jack called from the bed as she tried to connect the strip to her inner corner. 
"Give me a sec!" She yelled back as she wiggled the tweezers. 
"Holy shit!" He exclaimed. 
"What?"
"Why didn't you tell me?" He said walking in the bathroom.
"'Peraté…okay, got it." She said finally getting her eyelashes on. 
"Is this what you were doing when you facetimed me in the orange wig?" Jack handed her his phone. 
He remembered when she left for fashion month, she had to leave New York three days in because she needed to be in London for three weeks. Every time she’d call to facetime him, she’d be in a ginger wig similar to one Rihanna wore in 2015. Jack would have asked her about it, but he was too excited to hear her voice that he’d forget to ask. 
Miriam looked down and saw a picture of her and Robert Pattinson on set for The Batman. She remembered that scene specifically. It was when her character and Bruce Wayne arrived at some funeral and were making small talk to someone who was running for mayor. It was posted from The Batman's official instagram account. The caption said 'happy birthday to @mdominguezmiller, our very Pamela Islas.' Poison Ivy’s original name is Pamela Isley but because Miriam’s Mexican, they changed her last name to fit her. The writers even hinted that her character was bisexual because some adaptations make her straight.
"No mames." She said to herself. 
"Why didn't you tell me you were going to be in the fucking Batman?" Jack asked her. "That's amazing!"
"Well I signed an NDA and I have at most like five minutes of screen time. I didn't want to risk them getting cut. I didn't want to be like Madison Beer when she was like 'I was supposed to be in the video' when thank u next came out." She explained as she read through the comments.
She frowned. A bunch of people, mostly white men, are saying how she doesn't fit the character because she's not white and how they should have gone with a white woman and not some 'wetback' for diversity points. Others were saying she got the role because of her mom and how it wasn't fair. Her mom didn't even know she auditioned until she got the role. She auditioned back in 2019 while she was filming 'In the Heights'. The general public didn't even know she existed. Her instagram at the time was private. She barely had 20k subscribers on YouTube, all she did were fashion reviews and shopping hauls. Thanks to her joining in on one of Claudia's reaction videos in mid 2020, she started getting more subscribers. And that was because Claudia had to use a clickbait title. It wasn't until September of last year that she got on tiktok because she did one with her brother. Lastly her Twitter is a mess and tweets out the most absurd shit. Obviously, it's not like they hired her because of her social media presence.
"Here." She said to Jack, handing him his phone back. 
His face softened, noticing her frown. "What's wrong?" He asked her. 
"Nothing." She sighed, hopping down the counter. 
"Miriam," he lifted her chin so she could look at him. "Tell me."
"People are being stupid in the comments." She sighed. "They're saying I only got to be Poison Ivy because of my mom and there are a few racist comments saying I can't be Poison Ivy because I'm latina. It's fine, people are dumb." 
"Hey, you should feel proud that you get to star in one of the most anticipated movies ever. People never know the hard work you put it in no matter how hard you try to show them what you do to be where you are. They don't care, they just wanna talk shit. Trust me I would know, me and Nas have a whole song about it." 
"I'm gonna repost some stuff then delete instagram for a few hours." 
"Sounds like a plan. While you're at it, you should see what I posted." He grinned mischievously.
Miriam eyed him suspiciously then searched him up. His account loaded and she tapped on his instagram story. It was a picture of her with her cheeks stuffed with mille-feuille while she and Jack listened to the director of the Creme de la Creme promo tour video. At the bottom it said, 'happy birthday moviestar.'
"Of all fucking pictures you could've posted Jack"
*
“Noise canceling my ass.” Urban murmured as the couple exited the storage closet. 
Miriam smacked Jack’s arm. “Te dije, he was going to hear us.” 
Jack laughed and placed his arm around Miriam as they walked back to his dressing room. 
“I don’t even know how you two were still horny. I heard you go at it at least three times back at the hotel.” Urban asked, lighting up a blunt.
“Jack we gotta get you mic'd up.” Chris waved him over. 
“Shit, I gotta go.” Jack sighed. 
“It’s okay. Me and Urban are gonna go to our balcony seats with Beto, who’s saving them for us.” she said.
“Keep an eye on her.” Jack said, doing his handshake on her.
“I don’t need a babysitter.” she frowned.
“Miriam, you have a bodyguard,” he argued.
“It’s different.” 
“Enlightened me.”
“Don’t you have to get ready to go on stage?”
Jack rolled her eyes. He leaned down and gave her a peck. He gave Urban another hand shake then went to where Chris and some crew members were. 
“I gotta get my camera, c’mon.” Urban motioned Miriam to follow him. 
They flashed security backstage passes and entered the greenroom. Neelam, Metta and the blonde girl that was at the Suns and Warriors game were hanging out by the couch. They stopped talking when they saw her enter the room. They made a face and talked in quiet voices. Not wanting to make some awkward small talk, Miriam went to the snack table and grabbed a slice of pizza. She was hungry. After she and Jack cut her cake, Jack showed her how proud he was of her for her movie role with his tongue and cock. Then when they got to the venue, her and Jack went to go see The Homies perform before they snuck out for a quickie. 
“That isn’t for you. It’s for the people that actually work.” Neelam told her, startling her.
Miriam never felt so embarrassed in her life. “Oh, I’m sorry. I–”
“You what? You think that you deserve to get everything handed? If you want food, then go get some.” 
“You’re right. I apologize.” Miriam said coldly, trying to hold back tears. She dug in the front pocket of her pants, pulling out a wad of $100 bills. She counted five and tossed them on the table. “I’m sure that covers the slice. Urban, I’ll see you on the balcony.” 
Based on the fear in Neelam’s eyes, she had no idea Urban was in the room. Miriam exited the room not wanting to deal with her. She sniffled and wiped the few tears that rolled down her cheek. No one has ever talked to her the way Neelam had. When she came with Jack to drop off his things, he told her that she could herself to whatever and that he even got jalapeño kettle chips for her. 
“Miriam, hold up.” Urban called to her, jogging. He reached for her arm, stopping her. “What the fuck was that?”
“I’m sorry. Jack said that I could help myself. I should have asked.” She apologized.
“What?–That’s not…was that the first time Neelam has talked to you like that or have you had other run-ins with her?” he asked her. Miriam’s silence answered his question. “Does Jack know?”
“No, because it’s not a big deal.”
“You can’t be serious! She just went off on you unprovoked.” 
“Okay when you say it like that…”
“Bro,”
“Urban, she’s Jack’s manager. I’m not going to say anything because it’ll risk his career.” her eyes softened. “Please promise me, you’re not going to tell Jack.”
“Fine, but if some shit like this happens again, I’m telling him,” he warned her. 
They pinky promised and went to the balcony area. Beto was texting, ignoring the red head trying to make conversation with him. 
“Want some?” Urban asked her, offering his new blunt as they sat down.
“I don’t smoke.” Miriam said. She’s too paranoid for weed. Alcohol already made her anxious as is and to add weed into the mix, was not good for anyone. 
“You?” He offered it to Beto.
“On the clock.” Beto said. 
Miriam furrowed her eyebrows. “Since when do you smoke?”
“Miss Dominguez I have a life outside of making sure you don’t fight paparazzi.'' He said, sipping his water bottle.
“It was one time and it was before you were even hired.”
“Since I’ve been hired you haven’t had any incidents.”
*
“Can I post this?” Miriam asked Jack as he walked out of the bathroom in only a towel wrapped around him.
He leaned down to see her phone, tugging the towel off to dry himself. It was a selfie she took of them in the elevator when they were coming back from the show. Jack was in a black puffer jacket with his back to the camera. Miriam’s face was also hidden thanks to the hoodie she wore. 
“Go ahead,” he nodded, grabbing another towel to dry his hair.
“Okay, thank you.” 
Miriam skipped the opening credits to the new Bob’s Burgers episode she was binging on her laptop. She switched out of her camera roll to Instagram. She fixed the lighting in the picture then typed out her caption. ‘Happy to spend my Jordan year with my favorite person, and ty to everyone for the birthday wishes.🤍🤍🤍’ She hit post and then connected her phone to her charger.
Jack finally got in bed and pulled her to his chest. They ate some of the cake while they watched their show. After a few episodes, Miriam yawned, nuzzling her head against his chest. She lifted her head and brought her hands up to his chest so can rest her head on them. She looked up at Jack and gave him a soft smile.
"Thank you." She said, tenderly scratching his beard.
"For what?" He asked her. 
"For today, I know you were busy but you somehow made time for me. And I…" Miriam quickly clamped her mouth shut. 
She almost said a certain three worded sentence. A certain three worded sentence she's never said to any of her past partners. Except for Conner, the first boyfriend she had, and that massively backfired on her. Because of him she couldn't say them to Kaleob and she really adored him. And yet here she was ready to say them to Jack as Bob's Burgers played in front of them while they gorged on red velvet cake.
"You what? You kinda stopped talking." Jack said, bringing her back from her thoughts. 
"Oh, sorry" she giggled nervously. She cleared her throat. "I, um, I'm glad I got to be here with you. It's one of the best birthdays I've had in a while."
"Me too. I…I'm glad you had a great day despite everything."
Miriam pushed herself up and pecked his lips. He tucked a curl behind her ear and asked her, "What would you rate this birthday?"
"Definitely in my top twenty-three birthdays."

Just finished watching the first detective Conan movie!
So I just finished it, and I was taking notes as I went through. I’m just going to post them below. It’s pretty rough because I typed while watching so these are real time thoughts. Overall I enjoyed it though.
Conan’s adorable when he gets the letter (blushing is cute)
Can’t believe the dork forgot his own birthday but remembered some Holmes trivia instead lol 
Ran is a such a sweetheart omg 
Mori really read through the dudes whole Wikipedia page lmao
Never mind I mean biography I forgot this was like 1997
Does this dude have OCD is that supposed to be the implication 
Garden party is cool but where are the bombs and skyscrapers what I sup 
Damn he can cook wow
I feel like the do everything myself is going to be Important
Ok he’s kind of sinister know idk why  
Yo why is he so interested in this teenage girls love life??? 
Conan you are so screwed 
Oh ok I see where the bomb and skyscraper are coming into play now 
Grudge against the architect maybe 
Wow that was a big explosion
Ok this whole situation is very weird why is he helping Conan 
What is the cat the fucking bomb???
There better not be any cat death in this movie I will cry 
How did the old woman not notice the bomb???
That old woman and driver are having very tame reactions to this insane kid 
Oops and he’s passed out. In the hospital too uh oh
Aw that cute Kogoro is by his bedside 
Wow Conan without the glasses really looks like a  shinichi copy  how has no one noticed 
You can’t use phones in hospitals what is this common knowledge I never learned 
Ok this looks really bad for Shinichi I pity him a bit lol now Kogoro things he’s scum 
Ok I have a theory: For whatever reason  architect is bombing stuff for an unknown reason. The guy shown has a beard but that’s probably just a disguise, architect said he likes to do things himself so that’s why I think it’s him. He doesn’t what there to be casualties or just wants someone to stop him.That’s why Shinichi was contacted he’s a well known detective. The password thing was a test for Mori to see if he can replace shinichi, but Conan figured it out and got a tour of the gallery. Which, COINCIDENTALLY, has buildings that have been bombed before (the mansion) and will be bombed (presumably the skyscraper based on info so far). It’s a deliberate clue. That’s also why the bomber is accepting Conan as a legitimate detective because he passed the test, but also giving hints because this js a kid he doesn’t want to kill him. It’s also just occurred to me that the architect was implied to have severe OCD or perfectionism. He could be bombing past builds because he thinks there’s some thing wrong with them and can’t stand to have their design be under his name. Something like that idk. I’m only 36 minutes in so we’ll see
Wait a minute maybe the reason architect was interested in the birthday date was because he wanted to know when and where Shinichi would be so he could plan the bombing around his schedule! Ran provided practically all the details too 
That’s cute the kids drew a picture (I know it’s a suspect but still)
He’s happy with it??? Damn Conan can’t draw at all 
That was a lot of damage to the car wow 
Rare Kudo shinichi appearance I missed you!!! Conan’s cute but shinichi as himself looks pretty cool haha 
Damn that’s a strong father son bond 
Laughing then hating that’s kinda of funny
Genta is going to shout out the word bombs isn’t he
…I knew it 
Wait no ones noticed these kids screaming bomb on the train?
I am so confused by the motivation pretty sure this means my theories are wrong damn 
Sick burn Ran lol 
Wow this whole diverting sequence is seriously dramatic and I love it 
Poor Ran she’s getting stood up 
The bridge! The architect doesn’t want to blow up that bridge because he’s actually happy with that work! That would fit with my previous theory 
Ok shiratori is being kind of suspicious. Kinda confirms my theory tho 
Conan dude that suggestion was not subtle at all  
Ok now what Mori has said it’s someone else I’m more convinced than ever it’s the architect 
Ok there’s a lot of emphasis being placed on him lighting the pipe same as the beginning 
Ok did the dad steal his kids designs or did he steal his dad’s?? Probably the latter 
Was I actually on to something with the pipe????
Uh new theory he’d bombing all the architecture that doesn’t fit the New Tama symmetrical city to try and get the building approved after the Mayors arrest 
Just saw the architect has a painting of a horse above the fireplace I don’t know why that’s amusing to me 
Mori you are so wrong it’s funny as hell 
That reaction was funny as hell 
It’s kind of creepy how the architect is just standing and staring down 
Go after him Shiratori hell yeah 
So the skyscraper in the tile only shows up in the last 20 minutes 
I was actually right with my theory?? Kind of. I got the reason he wanted Kudo to take the case wrong(it was revenge) but the motivation behind the bombing and who was bombing them was correct. 
Ok but now that it’s been proven it had nothing to do with the case, why was he so interested in the date it’s a little bit creepy ngl 
Oh damn the bombs actually went off that’s a lot of power 
Ok wow this dude is an asshole 
Wait he wanted to know about the date so he could plant a huge bomb that would kill Ran and Shinichi wtf 
Ok Ran is taking this very well wow she’s cool 
I wonder what everyone else in the lobby is thinking right now 
Wait did they do it wrong. Wait nvm that’s someplace else 
Seeing Kogoro so worried about Ran is kind of heartwarming, although the circumstances aren’t great 
Oh god it’s the classic red wire blue wire 
My bet is on red wire. It’s Ran’s favorite color and the couples lucky color for the month 
Bruh wtf is with this edgy commentary from the architect about love you’re such a loser Christ.I’m getting a bit heated haha 😅
Not the happy Birthday this is really sad 
We’ll be together when we die??? What the hell this is depressing but kinda sweet 
I just realized I started off a bunch of my comments with ok so. It’s not important or anything I just noticed that while reading through. I’d give this movie a 7/10. There were some interesting parts and it was fun theorizing but there are still some things I’m confused about. Why did he accept Conan as a detective? Why did he provide clues to the bombs??? If the motive was revenge wouldn’t it be better to have Shinichi fail? Maybe I missed something idk.

my art timeline :-)
Tumblr media
hi! i’m making this because i was inspired by maxpawb’s post i saw on toyhouse , which then led me to look at all my own art that is still somehow intact in my storage. this only details stuff from when i started posting online, not from when i started drawing traditionally as a wee lad. partially because my sketchbooks are lost and partially because i never really wrote down dates on my art to begin with.
a lot of dates are lost, due to the aforementioned problem of me not writing things down.. and also i have awful dissociative memory problems so there’s way too many gaps in my life. but i really did want to do this to see how much i could find & how much i could recollect.
content warning for VERY brief mentions of grooming, as well as minor mentions of real shitty friends
everything is under the cut! there might be another rb if or when i hit the image limit. curse you, tumblr.
date: ??? , i had to be around like. 11 at the time
this was when i joined warriors amino and i deleted my account because i got in trouble for having social media, LMAO. i eventually came back with a new one though. this is probably one of the only surviving art pieces from when i was THIS YOUNG, everything’s on an ipad that’s so broken it won’t even charge
i learned how to use the smudge tool on ibispaint at this time and thought i was the coolest bitch on the block for my blending
Tumblr media
may 2019, i was like 12
my return to amino (and brief period on deviantart, which i never used again lmao) i was specifically on wings of fire amino + warriors amino. i was obsessed with airbrush shading.
this is one of my first fursonas which was a wings of fire fanflight called kitsunewings or smth. and also my first species character (he predated the dragon), a bayfox, which was drawn in krita. i never used krita again after this. coincidentally, i was also never active in bayfoxes after submitting him.
i crawled back to ibispaint no matter how many new free programs i tried.. (also tried firealpaca once. i couldn’t even figure out how to draw a line…)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
may 2019, 12
the rise of my longest lasting fursona. she got stolen on a shitty app called anime maker once. i can’t remember if she’s older than the dragon, andromeda, but her older iterations definitelt are. this character was just the FIRST first fursona that i actually called that, since i didn’t even really know what a furry was at first
Tumblr media
june 2019, 12
my first commission that i sold for like 30 deviantart points (i only used the site for commission purposes, as mentioned before i never really used it lmao)
also i tried to make a closed species on wings of fire amino. second image. it was terribly stressful ; this was around the time i met my longest lasting group of friends (hi freak bin! 5 years <3) and.. some of the worst people i’ve ever met in my life at the same time, LMAOOO
Tumblr media Tumblr media
also here’s this kokichi ouma dog i made before i even knew what danganronpa was. i would find out much later, unfortunately
Tumblr media
march 2020, still 12 (cause of my august birthday 😒)
there’s a really big gap in my files here. sad! my art kicks into gear at this point tbh, i like how i did the lines. wish i had the energy for such clean lineart still :-(
i think around this time i lost contact with the people who were my groomers (which i would realize later) and i’m thankful that i don’t even remember what their names are.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
april 2020 - july 2020, 12
okay these aren’t awful actually. HOW WAS MY ART SO DETAILED. i admire baby frets power, jesus christ
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
i also did a design raffle when i hit 500 amino followers which is still the most i’ve ever gotten as a following. pretty crazy, i wonder who owns this dude now, i still think they’re cute
Tumblr media
august 2020, 13
wow i’m 13 now look at that. i had to go digging for this one, only one i could find that was remotely close to my birthday (it’s the 25th!) this was a drawing for my friend bea lol
was still friends with some pretty shitty people from wings of fire amino, and it was really taking a toll on me. i don’t remember drawing as often as i used to during that time because of all of that.
Tumblr media
december 2020, 13
i wish i could still draw backgrounds.. i need more practice
Tumblr media Tumblr media
january 2021, 13
okay honestly these are really cute. i don’t know wtf kind of motivation i had for this much detail. the shading is pretty damn good
Tumblr media Tumblr media
april 2021, 13
still going strong with the shading and backgrounds. not much to say around this time either lol. the first one is an older design of mine, but they’re pretty damn cute.. i wonder what happens to the desgins i lose track of? but ik this guy has a toyhouse profile i just refuse to look through my like. 200 pages of character designs on there…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
july 2021, 13
PUDDLE! PUDDLE OH HOW I MISS YOU. my original favorite oc, i got so much art of him & drew him so much he reached 100 pieces in less than a month. i also met my best friend through this dude.
my art got.. blocky? here? idk what i was doing with all of that but it lasts for a while. lol
Tumblr media Tumblr media
october 2021, 14
one year older and i got neo twewy for my birthday and it changed my life permanently. in several ways. anyhow, here’s frindoka furries.. they live in my files forever and will never b drawn again because they got redesigned several more times LOLLLLL
this is the month after i broke off permanently from my shitty old friends, with support of some other friends of mine. thank you guys… i did proceed to get harassed and made paranoid over my text messages by the shitty friends cause they were mad i got one of them banned from a furry adopts server for being literally dangerous. i do know it was them bc it was admitted to & they were some of the only people i gave my phone number to. i was kind of dumb for that
i was happy after my birthday because 13 was one of the worst years of my life. literal constant spirals and breakdowns because this is when i realize i was, in fact, groomed. i’m well and handling it better now.
Tumblr media
january 2022, 14
my first d&d character, the mark of my eventual spiral into heath insanity… shadow how i miss you. i ended up redesigning them later on
Tumblr media
march 2022, 14
i got into a pokemon arpg around this time and it took over my life for MONTHSSSS. kind of a shitty community in it though, but i appreciate how it improved my artwork. i’m back at the backgrounds! it’s shut down indefinitely now. rip eeveemporium
Tumblr media Tumblr media
april 2022, 14
I FOT BACK INTO WAKFUUUU😭😭😭 also got pretty comfortable in my identity as a transgender nonbinary person, but i would get MORE comfortable about my identity later on :-)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is going to be continued in a reblog because i did, in fact, hit the image limit. oopsie daisies

combining a couple of your recent ask memes! 13 for the music meme as the title for the 🐝 in the fake fic meme.
(also don't mind me accidentally hitting the wrong button and unfollowing/immediately refollowing)
LOL and here I thought the notification was just tumblr losing its mind again.
[ask me about music!] + [prompt me fake fics!]
13. One of your favorite 80s songs
I have so many, but the first one that popped into my head was Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)" (coincidentally also my ringtone, but since my phone is always on silent/vibrate, that matters less). It is impossible to be sad when this song comes on, but at the same time if you slowed it down, it would be heartbreaking. I'm think Spotify threw a slowed down cover on my Discover Weekly once that I was unimpressed with but in the right hands, it could be a gut punch because the lyrics are devastating but Whitney Houston infuses it with such wonderful pop goodness that you don't realize it unless you're really listening. (In contemporary times, Carly Rae Jepsen is also very good at this - just compare the demo of "When I Needed You" to the final version.)
🐝 send me a fake fic title, and I’ll make up a summary for it!
I would literally never write this, but why was my first thought werewolves? (It is 100% because of the lyric "when the light falls, the loneliness calls.") But like a werewolf AU of...something in the vein of Toby Barlow's Sharp Teeth but in prose - granted I only vaguely remember it now because it has been years.
But if we're talking a fake fic I'd actually write? Yellowjackets, post-rescue, five times Shauna dances (drunk college party, her wedding, maybe her kid's birthday party, at the club with the dude she murdered oops, the reunion), as a framework for the ghost of Jackie haunting her, consuming her, and in general bringing forth the kind of dynamic that Kate Bush would love to wail about.

The only source about ta/ennie that gives a time frame of their relationship is the breakup article that says they only dated for around 1 year. I am not gonna deny they were involved because I think that would be a lie we all saw what we saw, but I don't agree with claiming it lasted 2x longer in an attempt to make it sound more serious either. The way some people talk about it like they were on the verge of marriage as if that's the only way he couldn't have been with jk is crazy to me cus if that was the case they wouldnt have broken up within a couple months of paris and lots of people moved on because 1 they don't like her thats so important to remember every time this conversation happens and 2 the situation was weird not edited weird cus like I said I know those pics weren't fake but it was definitely a little odd. People claim pr cus the dates of the leaks coincidentally kept falling around when bp/her were doing stuff and they think the pap walk was staged to launch them but it resulted in nothing from his end as usual and her posting those pics basically confirming it only for us to never hear about them again until months later when it was said they broke up so it kinda gives #lookingforattention *new👖voice* So I do get why some ppl who already don't like her would side eye it even without being tkkrs but to me it never gave pr link up. When people talk about it being pr they always talk about it being for her cus she's the only one who publicly gained shit from it which makes you question what was he getting from it to agree to it in the first place while refusing to confirm it at every step and the easiest answer to that question is her lol like real relationships can be used for pr too which I think is the case but I also don't uphold it as the pinnacle of serious relationships when they've dodged every sign of commitment possible and she's linked to her ex every 3 business days because a club owner/dj/manager guy announced they were coincidentally both in LA at the same club on the same night which just so happened to be her birthday
Yeah I get that, the length of their relationship is debatable as well as it's seriousness but I think the point is that it happened and pretending that it was all a huge conspiracy against ta/e never made sense to me.
I don't think it would make sense for it to be a pr move for her either when more often than not, she got a lot of shit and slut shaming out of it. Even if we were to say that she used her real relationship for clout, wouldn’t it have made sense to be more blatant about it than just a post with the same clothes ?
My guess was that they were probably planning on going official with it after the Paris thingy but changed plans either because of internal issues or cause they gauged the overwhelmingly negative reactions from all sides.
I agree that some jkkrs do tend to make it seem like they were more serious than they potentially were to get a one up on tkkrs tho, and we should be considerate in that aspect. You don't necessarily need taennie to be a thing for tkk to not, if you're really looking at the facts. But that wont change the fact that taennie was 99.8 percent a thing that happened.

asks for you: something you are looking forward to but haven't told anyone about? last song listened to? last thing you bookmarked? newest graphic tshirt you got yourself? last person you called just to chat? last mattfoggy prompt you gave yourself but haven't done anything with, yet? what do you want to see happen most in DD:BA?
something you are looking forward to but haven't told anyone about?
My friends are coming over this weekend for my husband's birthday party. My husband is a gamer TM and one of his favorite games is "Factorio" which is a game about being stranded on an alien planet and having to build a bunch of stuff to get your spaceship off the ground so you can go home. (I keep joking that it's big kid pikmin.) There's a lot of machinery and factories and conveyor belts, so we factored that into the party. In addition to thematically appropriate board games, we got this oval shaped lazy susan thing that is sort of like a manual conveyor belt you spin with your hand, and it looks a bit like a factory belt too. We're going to set out ingredients so people can make their own custom snacks (miso soup, salad, onigiri, mini sushi cakes, etc) and finish it off with s'mores over this little s'more maker that coincidentally looks like the forge in the game. People know the theme of the party in general terms, but I don't think any of them have played this game themselves, and nobody knows about the "build your own" aspect of the menu, so I'm excited to see their reactions.
last song listened to?
Piplup Step (Piplup Cheer You Up)
last thing you bookmarked?
Hahaha, I'm so bad at bookmarks. There's a shortbread recipe I have open that I need to come back to.
newest graphic tshirt you got yourself?
In December I got a shirt from Vapor95 that is black with these teal jellyfish on it. But like, in a vapor/chillwave kind of way, not a "I'm into aquariums" way. XD Not that there's anything wrong with aquariums lol.
last person you called just to chat?
Returned a call to my friend Tiffany and caught up about our holidays and upcoming events.
last mattfoggy prompt you gave yourself but haven't done anything with, yet?
Okay, this is SO dumb but I found a jokey meme post on tumblr last night that was about being ten and waiting for the day wings sprung out from your spine and THEN everyone would SEE. And I just imagined Foggy and Matt in college and Foggy relating all these "one day people will see how special I am" childhood fantasies he has with Matt (who is trying SO HARD for people not to see how special he is). Anyways, we'll see if anything comes of it.
what do you want to see happen most in DD:BA?
You know, I don't spend that much time hemming and hawwing over it, I'm very "whatever will be will be" and believe that no matter what happens in the new show, it can't take away my good memories of the original one. I mean, broadly, I would want to see all of the characters treated with respect not just in their individual characterization, but their importance to the series overall. IYKYK. I know we won't hear about it since they're not in place anymore, but damn would I have loved to see Matt and his thoughts on the Sokovia accords (since they were a thing in the NMCU! They played a big part in Jeessica Jones!!!) I'd also like to know more about how Fisk went from being in superjail to a viable candidate for mayor, like, I assume it had something to do with the instability of the blip but STILL? I can understand him being out of prison (who was going to run prisons during the blip) but the man was going to do LIFE and somehow he was out and about during the blip with the same level of influence over the police as before? HOW. Just, give me a flashback, give me SOMETHING. If we're going to see him try to be mayor I need to know what his "I'm totally reformed" pitch is gonna be.

Happy birthday to the Tactician. Or late birthday, her actual birthday is 10/30 but I forgot to post this on tumblr.
Though this wasn’t the date of her creation, the actual date of her creation was coincidentally also in October and I dug up the first ever sketch I made of her under the cut.
Tumblr media
Funnily enough she’s barely changed in design. The only main difference is slightly different anatomy (which was likely a result of me being zoomed in while drawing this, and because I didn’t have the hang of drawing her yet) and the little piece of hair in front of her ear which I’m happy I removed cause it looks weird.
There’s also the fact that I gave her a new holster on her most recent design but I think it makes sense that she’d have multiple different holsters anyway.
But the fact that she went through essentially no major design revisions is crazy for me because most of my characters go through a minimum of one redesign. And that’s a minimum. Average is likely 3, and I have one who has been through at least 8. I must’ve really hit the mark with Irene’s visual design for me to still consider it good lol.

hey! i'm the one who asked about the length of the halloween fic, and i decided to start twst! it'll be a lower-priority game, but i wanted to let you know bc on the tutorial 10 roll i ended up going with (after way too long of rerolling bc i kept getting dupes when i got my preferred ssr), i got all of diasomnia in a row, and then ace and deuce back to back, which i thought was really funny and coincidental. guess i know what dorm the game wants me to favor!
Oh hey!! That's awesome! I hope you come to enjoy Twst as much as I have!! ^^
I actually can't remember all the SRs I saw when I was doing that first free 10 pull. I rerolled so many times because I refused to proceed with the game until I got my best boy, Jack, whom I eventually pulled after getting pretty much every other available SSR in my previous pulls, some of which I got multiple times lol I didn't care what the game said. I wanted my boy, and I made sure I got him 😂
Tumblr media
Right off the bat, I'd recommend checking out this. It's the pinned post for an account that I often see get a lot of questions about the game, and they have masterlists that should be really helpful to you.
As far as the content gap is concerned, at this point, there really isn't a large gap between the JPN & ENG server cause ENG has been doling out new events like crazy to catch up 😂 However, there are a few events that we haven't gotten in the ENG server, and we're only getting the first part of Book 7 of the main story at the end of Nov while JPN has like 5 parts out so far for Book 7.
Anyway, you can click here to find the wiki page that shows all the Twst events for ENG & JPN. Unfortunately, by this point, ENG has pretty much already done reruns for all the events, and you can only read the stories for the events in the game if you were playing the game when those events came out, so if there was a certain event you were hoping to see, like the first Halloween one, you'll likely have to look for it on Youtube since the chances are low that it'll get another rerun in the game, although I won't say it's impossible since you really never know lol
As far as advice is concerned, I'd say save your gems for event banners, ergo the cards that are only available for a limited time while an event is ongoing. The dorm uniform SSRs will always be available in the standard showcase and in every event banner. The only banners they don't appear in are the birthday banners, which is a good thing since that means any SSR you get in the birthday banner is the one you're aiming for haha
I'd also recommend against spending your gems on LP since the 10 you get regenerates after 2.5 hours. It's better to just wait and take your time as you're progressing through the main story which will likely take a while for you since we currently have Books 1-6 and Book 7 Part 1 is coming.
Book 6 is especially brutal cause of the battles , so by the time you get there, make sure you have strong cards for Riddle/Azul/Leona/Jamil/Vil/Epel/Rook. You're gonna need them lol 😂
I can't think of anything else right off the top of my head that might be helpful, but feel free to send me another ask if you have any specific questions. I'll be happy to help! 😊

Lol, one time I saw a twitter post that made me think of your blog- here is another (different) video that brought that moment back (youtu.)be/JyW64K6Qcr0 It was because of the Jess & Dean names referenced- you post Dean pics a bit. I realized upon watching part of twitter clip that it was about Rory Gilmore’s Love triangle. (Coincidentally played by the guy who ends up as the brother of Dean Winchester on Supernatural after GG). Also some mention that the mom looks like an older, brunette TS.
bestie. in our many delightful pop culture conversations, i need you to know that, through no fault of your own, this message cut me to the quick (lightheartedly. mostly). i thought about it all day. i ran to @arthurwilde about it. i paced in circles. i lamented. i threw myself prostrate on the ground (figuratively).
you post Dean pics a bit.
i stared at that sentence for hours. i am haunted by it. it's so casual. so irreverent.
*dramatic miette-inspired voice*
a bit. i post. dean pics. a bit? oh i am wounded. i have failed in my duties if this can be addressed in such a calm manner. i have wholly lost my way, my identity. my blog has no path. who even am i? i am utterly destroyed if you think that the "jared played a character named dean on gilmore girls (a show i have watched all the way through multiple times) before he was on supernatural (a show i watched, without fail, through every horror and slight, through many dangers, toils, and snares, from premiere on my birthday september 13, 2005 to finale november 19, 2020) with a brother named dean" isn't like the most basic arcane lore in the arsenal. as if the last three episodes and the mass devastation and fallout that occurred isn't why this entire page exists (i started blogging on here right before the penultimate episode). i post...a whisper of dean? a small dash? a sprinkling? a smidgen of dean? my heart is torn asunder. i'm lost wandering the moors. dean. my dean? core of my blog? light in the dark, raft in the ocean, fire of my soul? dean, whom i love so tremendously, with such an abject and ardent love, that i have been publicly renounced and executed for it in the past. sent anon hate off and on for months. fought bloody battles. i post him. a bit??? dean who is my best friend love of my life visits my dreams real person to me (normal and sane response). lord have mercy. as if the way i loved you, in and of itself, is not me with dean versus me with any other fictional character i love. as if, in fact, a significant portion of her discography isn't simply dean coded to me. yeah. i've been FAR TOO RESTRAINED LATELY, IT WOULD SEEM. SEND HELP.

just typing to get some pressure out of my head. too many ideas but too small brain.
It looks like I won't be able to get the AP/Marv fic done for my birthday :o( the part of my brain that comes up with outlines and plots is mush right now. Hey, though, if I hit a good piece of inspo, it might happen?? Not counting on it anymore though.
That being said.... I have the next chap of itty bitty like 1/3 done (it's shorter than the previous two). I've been posting on the 14th for every chapter (which was coincidental, but I like the consistency), so I will probably get this out around March 14th. Which means, if I keep on track, I can get to my favorite date (in theory) in time for april, so that might be my gift to myself instead. Who cares if it's cliche, I've been looking forward to writing this particular date since chapter 1!! That being said, chapter 3 with the aqurium is still my fave of the written ones. Kind of nervous for the next chapter; writing angst is still super new to me, and I'm struggling with the pacing in this one. Oooh but!! We get to see an old fantroll of mine >:o) Most of my fantrolls are women or women adjacent; this one's a guy. How's that for variety?? I guess Blafis was a guy, too, but he's dead now :o(
I've said this a million times but I'll say it again: I'm so happy with and excited for the ideas I've come up with for my fics this year. I'm super organized lmao so I do plan out which fic gets worked on to be done in time for specific months. Like, the nosferatu AU will be my halloween fic obv; it's also the one I'm most excited for. Itty bitty is going until May, unless I add the bonus smut chapter? It depends on how I write chapter 6 I guess... I have a cutesy little karako / wanshi fic planned for june, though, that I'm excited for. Aaaand I'll try to get some rq's done for the months after that lol.... I'm so sorry orz I have like 20+ rq's just sitting in my inbox. Oh I'm also thinking about doing a kinktober thing this year, too, for all my faves.
We'll see what happens. I have a feeling act 3 will come out this year, and it would be great to have a few more ppl in the fandom! But if it doesn't, I predict that the few of us still around might dwindle by 2024. I don't want that, though; on a personal level, this hyperfixation doesn't seem to be going anywhere, and I can't seem to latch on to anything else.

Hi! In homage to what Taylor said yesterday about her 1950s housewife era, would you as TSS want to compile a post of all her best housewife era outfits please 😂 I’d love that
Hi! I definitely recommend taking advantage of the Archive tool and just flipping back to December 2012 and working your way backwards. Everything is on the blog for your perusal.
But I'd say basically anything tea-length with kitten heels probably fits the descriptor. This isn't a list of "bests" - just the result of a quick perusal from the above archive tool.
So many vintage dresses lol. The Japan ones in November 2012 (one, two) particularly come to mind.
Red vintage dresses:
MTV Studios, August 2012
Glamour mag (a very important shoot as this is when she stole her Mark Cross bag that she continued to wear for months afterwards)
Jonathan Ross (technically this is orange but w/e let me live)
Ellen Degeneres (also orange but again please see above)
Red sweater + argyle skirt
ACM 2012 performance
Skavlan, November 2012 performance
Christmas Light ceremony, coincidentally on my 20th birthday
Vintage-esque candids
Polka dot cigarette pants
"Begin Again" music video (not rly a candid but please see above notes about letting me live)
Polka dot vintage-y bikini (lots of people don't like this lewk)
Polka dot one piece

survey #170
Give us a lyric from a song you’ve recently listend to: I'm listening to "Slum Planet" by 3TEETH right now and the lyric just said was "no one wins in this human race."
Why did you cry the last time you did? I learned about diabetic comas and started fearing that one day it'll happen to Mom while she's asleep with how violently her blood sugar plummets. My anxiety was so fucking bad that night, I had so much trouble falling asleep.
Have you donated blood in the last 2 years? No, but I actually plan on doing it with Girt this Sunday, it completely depends on what my blood pressure is at the time of the appointment; it's almost always alarmingly low EVERY time I get it checked, like it's just normal for me (partially because of a med), so there is a very real chance of me being turned down. But I'm still going with him regardless though, he loves when he gets the chance to do it (drives are coincidentally almost always on work days for him lol) and I fucking love that.
What is your relationship with the last person to comment you? Like, on a social media? Facebook is telling me Ashley, my boyfriend's sister.
Who was the last person to sit on your bed? Me, I still do certain physical therapy exercises lying and sitting on it.
Do you have a favorite flower? Orchids, pink tulips (I don't really care about non-pink ones that much), dahlias, hydrangeas, roses, etc. I just adore flowers.
Would you rather be stuck on a desert island with your ex or a python? HA give me the fucking python, at least the snake won't make me feel like literal trash. Besides, a python is not going to be able to eat me and with that fact it'd have no interest in bothering me, and I'd leave it alone too. Don't villainize snakes.
Name three objects within your reach? My water bottle, planner, and Girt's work schedule for like an entire year lmao. He gave it to me for the convenience of planning hanging out days and I think he also knows I just like knowing where he is, especially if my anxiety is high and I can't immediately reach him.
Would you get a shamrock tattooed to your forehead for $5,000? Gah, that money is FUCKING TEMPTING, but I just couldn't.
Where was the last place you went that was more than an hour away? Why were you going there? A city two hours away that is where Girt's grandmother is at a nursing home. We were celebrating her birthday; that day wasn't her actual birthday, but it's a day that worked for the family to get together. It meant a lot to be there, because odds are it was her last.
Who was the last person to tell you you looked nice? Girt, I think?
Do you know a schizophrenic person? Girt's mother, and I know of my schizophrenic half-sister.
Name the last 3 people you kissed and list one nice thing about each one. Girt is very polite, Sara was very creative, and Tyler, uh... he was sweet?
Are you friends with a Conner? No, I don't even know one.
What is the last thing you spoke to your father about? He sent me a picture of his cat Louie chilling with a deer in he and his wife's backyard. I'm against letting your cat free-roam outdoors, but regardless it was very cute and I said so. He was just sitting chilling while the deer grazed.
Ever suffered from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder? I literally have it, yeah.
During which year of your life were you the most unhappy? I genuinely don't think any hell a god could make could be worse than what 2016 was for me. Every waking moment I wanted to be dead, and when I slept my dreams were always the same: extremely painful and focused on Jason and how we'd never be what we were again.
Have you ever seen a bluejay in person? Yes, I love them. I used to collect bluejay feathers while I dated Jason actually, because his nickname from his dad was always "J Bird," and I called him that sometimes too.
Who is the most energetic and happy person you know of? My nephew Ryder.
Who makes you smile the most often? Girt.
Do you remember the first person you felt sexually attracted to? In a completely serious context, Jason.
Of all of your friends’ significant others, who do you get along with best? And least? I don't really know my friends' s/os, at least not on a personal level.
Have you ever had a platonic friend that everyone insisted you should be in a relationship with? YUP, GIRT. Finally happened lmao, bomb-ass decision.
Who do you think is the most attractive actor? Probably Jason Momoa lmao, or Johnny Depp.
Have you ever been caught doing something REAL embarrassing by your parents? LOL SURE HAVE AND I WANTED TO PASS AWAY
Do you have any of your neighbors as friends on Facebook? No.
You can only listen to 1 band for the rest of your life, who do you pick? so like...... Rammstein, surprise lmfao
When was the last time you felt like your heart was actually breaking? Many months ago when I was pretty convinced Girt was going to leave and I was going to relive the Jason breakup, just with him. I was fucking hysterical, this guy had to hold me as I probably broke his eardrums scream-crying for like, 15 full minutes. The feeling I had in my chest was more awful than I could ever put into words.
Who was the last person you cried in front of? Probably Mom?
Who was the last person you had a deep conversation with? Girt.
Have you ever said anything to the last person you kissed that you regret? Yes, in a couple instances where I was mad.
Do you know anyone who has fought in a war? Jason's dad was in the Navy, but idk if he was ever in a combat situation. I know Girt's dad fought in Operation Desert Storm.
Name ONE good memory about your last ex? I very much felt like I could be 200% myself around her.
Do you live near any large rivers or lakes? Yeah, the Tar River is really long, and I live in an area where you regularly cross smaller bridges over it.
Would it annoy you if a stranger called you "sweetie?" This very much depends. I'd say generally no, I tend to like terms of endearment, but if it's some creepy guy that seems very suspect, I'd be uncomfortable.
What's the worst thing you've gone through in the past year? Letting go of and healing from an extremely rotten friendship. Deciding enough was enough with Sara was so fucking not an easy decision, it was fucking excruciating and involved so much hurt, and I regularly questioned if I was a horrible person.
What's the next friend or family birthday coming up? Will you buy them a present? Literally tomorrow is my sister Ashley's 30th, and no, but only because I don't have a source of income. I can't get anything for family and it fucking sucks.
How many beds are in your home? Two in the traditional sense, however we do have a couch that can fold out into a bed. Not a very comfortable one, but it's a bed.
Do you wear face masks in public? I no longer do, not because I don't believe in the effectiveness of masks (because they fucking are effective), but because I think like most people, I've just given up on the concept of us ever getting Covid under control; it's going to be in the human population for probably as long as we live now. A new type of flu, basically. I would wear a mask though if I was sick with Covid-esque symptoms, that's just basic consideration for other humans.
Have you ever gotten back together with an ex? Only Girt; the first time we dated briefly at the end of 2017 I just wasn't ready to be with a man again. I had walls that weren't coming down.
What month of the year was your mother born? August.
Who do you feel most beautiful around? My mom.
Have you ever had a friend that got a bf/gf, and then completely ignored you? Yes, what a coincidence, I was thinking of her last night. We were online friends with a long, very tight friendship, but one day her accounts that I knew of were just gone, and this was very near the time she started dating some guy.
Who is the smartest person you know? Girt.
If your friend asked you to hold their drugs, would you? Hell no.
The last two people you kissed, are they virgins? Girt's not, Sara was when I knew her, no clue about now.
How did you and your significant other celebrate your last anniversary? We just hung out at my house.
Do you know anyone who owns their own business? Yes, more than one person.
What was the last thing that changed your life completely? Going to physical therapy. I am so fucking happy with all the progress that is still happening, standing is by now generally only uncomfortable versus actually painful. I'm standing more in real-life situations that prove to me how much better my legs have gotten.
What do you normally drink when eating at a fast food restaurant? Usually either Mountain Dew or Coke.
What was the last thing you saw that made you smile? A really cute picture of two of my nieces; Aubree was being an adorable big sister.
Who was the last person you took a photograph with? My niece and sisters.
Did you like the show Invader Zim? Surprisingly I never really watched it, I just thought Gir was cute.
What’s the scariest book you’ve ever read? I've never been scared by a book.
What does your best friend love that you hate? Extremely hard games that generally require hours and hours of failing regularly to get good at it, nameably FromSoft games; I'm quite sure Girt's platinumed/100%ed all of them lmao, meanwhile I couldn't even get to the FIRST BOSS of Bloodborne myself haha, I suck at those games SOOOOOOOOOOO bad. My head nearly exploded when I tried Dark Souls, like I quit pretty damn fast because once a game reaches a certain level of difficulty for me, shit's not fun anymore. Meanwhile Girt's hardheaded as HELL and really gets satisfaction out of figuring out challenges, so FromSoft makes some stuff he really enjoys. What sucks is I LOVE watching the games be played, like Elden Ring is one of the greatest video games ever made in all of history imo, I just don't have the patience for those of its sort as a player. Video games are Girt's "thing" though that he's just super fucking good at.
How well do you know the people you live with? I know my mom very well, and we've been closer than ever lately. I feel our already-strong bond has strengthened quite a bit just from sitting out in the living room with her during dinner more often. She confides in me with a lot of things and has told me how much she appreciates me just listening.
When was the last time you had a conversation with an ex? A few weeks ago with Juan, if you even wanna count him as an ex when we dated for less than a day.
Ever cried while you were on the phone with the last person you kissed? No, we basically never call each other. He's mentioned wanting to but knows I hate phone calls and I'm like you're obviously an exception dude but yeah we don't really talk-talk via the phone.
Have you ever bought a YouTuber’s merch? I have two Cloak shirts, a brand owned by Markiplier and jacksepticeye, and one features the Randler and cockatrice used as symbols for Good Mythical Morning/Rhett & Link.
Do either of your parents have tattoos? No, but my mom wants one based around her kids and grandkids.
For your birthday do people buy you a cake or bake you one? Usually buy.
If your boy/girlfriend wanted to have a sex change, would you support them? Sure would, I'm pansexual anyway so it wouldn't remove my sexual feelings for that person. Like sure it'd obviously be a massive change, requiring adjustments like getting pronouns right, but he/she would have my full support if they felt a sex change would improve their happiness.
What do you think of cannibals? It's gross. I think eating your own species, at least for such developed animals like humans who have consciences that allow us to put meaning into BEING a human, is morally questionable.

Week 10: It’s Finally Getting Sunny!
Hii! The weather in Prague decided to cooperate with us this week, which made me really happy. Goodbye, winter jackets and seasonal depression :)
Our communications teacher took us to the Czech Parliament this week for class. We had one of the deputy chairs give us a tour and speak about the Czech government, which was eye-opening.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Not only was it such a pretty building but it was cool learning about how the Czechs were able to reform their government to become democratic post-communism. We even got to ask fun questions, such as why the Czechs haven’t adopted the Euro despite being a part of the European Union (He didn’t have a concrete answer for us, besides maybe because of nationalism?)
I have also been spending more time around the apartment, which means spending more time with my roommates! This week, one of our roommates has been going through a cooking phase which is amazing for me.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She very graciously baked us apple strudels for national only child day, giving us only children the extra attention we need lol. I also had countless meals of her butter chicken, since it is better than any butter chicken I have had in restaurants. It is cool how something as simple as eating a meal can bring people together. We have shared so many memorable laughs at the dinner table and I am forever grateful for who IFSA paired me up with this semester. 
After another short week, I headed to Copenhagen for the weekend! I went in with no expectations and was blown away by the city. My favorite part, although basic, was the canal with the colorful buildings running alongside it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Something about it just made me want to sit there and people watch all day long. It was coincidentally also the queen of Denmark’s birthday that weekend! We joined the Danes and tourists to celebrate the day at Amalienborg Palace.
Tumblr media
Before this, I didn’t even know Denmark had a queen but now I can say I have met her through the windows of her palace!
That’s it for this week. See you all next week with hopefully more sun and fun adventures :)

I'm surprised! Yesterday, I watched "Wednesday", so I titled my blog as Wednesday but, before I posted it,
Aah-- today is Wednesday so the timing is super good-- 🤦‍♀️
While thinking that, Well, it doesn't really matter, I updated it
Eh, yesterday was completely Wednesday 😳💫
That is, it was coincidentally Wednesday,
As much as that was, I was surprised that I had no sense of what day of the week it was ⚠️ lol
Watched all of it yesterday,
Its horror that isn't horror! But if you don't like being surprised, be a bit careful! For your information!
Its pacing is so great it was over in the blink of an eye 🤭💥
Since it was Wednesday, the series also updated

🎢 please!
🎢 Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?
BEFORE YOU READ: I'm tipsy. Enjoy my novel.
ANYWAY! I think it really depends on what's meant with "wild"? Especially if I keep in mind my full writing career. I remember writing stories about the books I'd read before I ever even knew what fic was (not always romantic but definitely sometimes; based on this and historical writings, I fully believe that writing stories inspired by characters or people we know/are aware of is 100% innate to human nature and in fact more so than oft-praised "original" works, which I think are lies anyway lol).
Once upon a time I wrote a 75k Beatles fic that I never finished. That was a wild ride. I've written a fic, again in a long past fandom, of someone getting fucked by a broomstick. Again, a very wild ride! I... have written fic in fic exchanges for people I fell out with. I've written fic for nanowrimo which I actually didn't end up posting, because it wasn't very good, but it definitely was A Hell Of A Ride.
As for HRPF/1988 fic, I think the biggest and wildest ride was Fall Again. I began writing it over a year before posting it, after sending an anon message to a major fandom name. I got some info from someone living in Chicago for the date sites (ty Alex!). And then the day I was going to post it, the person I was writing it for left the fandom (coincidentally also my birthday). Because of that, I ended up posting it a day later, cause it was done anyway and at that point I needed it gone from my mind. I can't really say it was a fun ride, but wild... Wild it was.
